Igniting wood pellets, chips and other biomass fuels

Introducing the FKK ceramic biomass igniter range, an advance in ignition technology for solid fuels.

FKK Corporation specialises in ceramic hot surface igniters and has many years experience of working closely with customers to develop bespoke solutions for innovative appliance manufacturers. We are a trusted manufacturer of hot surface ignition products to many industry sectors.

These advanced igniters are simply the best for lighting pellet and biomass burners. They use only a fraction of the energy required by hot air fans and ignition blowers and will light all fuel types. Ideal for wood pellets, chips, straw, corn etc.

With a considerably higher temperature, around twice that of traditional metal sheathed products, ignition times are reduced to as little as 60 seconds. This makes them significantly more economical in use.

A revolutionary way to ignite biomass

PSx series igniters revolutionize biomass heating appliances ignition process. FKK developed several types to fit in every appliances.

Tubular radiant structure type (Blowing air system: PSx-2 /PSx-7) ceramic igniters have a through hole that let air through the heating element body. With this structure, ignition performance can be increase by 1.4 times compare to metal cartridge heater.

External radiant structure type (PSx-1 / PSx-6) ceramic igniter heat the surround air for indirect ignition of pellet. These models are economical and more easy to install into airtight systems.

Universal solution

PSx series ceramic igniters fit in wood pellet, woods chips or any other biomass appliances. No matter the appliance, whether it's a stove, boiler, grill, or burner, our cutting-edge technology ensures quick and reliable ignition in every system.

More powerful ignition while consuming less

PSx series ceramic igniters revolutionize biomass heating appliances ignition process. It consume less energy (300W) compare to tradionatl metal cartridge igniter but reach 1000°C at steady-state temperature allowing an ignition of 60~90 seconds.
