History and development

PSx-6 and PSx-7 alumina ceramic igniter were developped in year 2013 to answer to need of pellet stove manufacturer to retrofit their existing system with ceramic igniter. With their standard size Hex G3/8" thread bushing these models are perfectly adapated to wood pellet stove retrofiting. The PSx-6 model are hermetic (no air can pass in the tube) while in contrary PSx-7 model have an open tube to let air pass through the inner tube and take advantage of inner heat for a faster ignition.

  • Provided that the installation tube is not too long, no change is necessary to install it
  • PSx-6 is well adapted to hermetic stove design
  • With PSx-7 model air can go through the tube to increase ignition speed and radiant effect
  • Powerful 300W heating element: can ignite all kind of biomass and even humid pellet = no ignition failure

Application of use

  • Wood Pellet stove
