Usbeck Teclubrenner, needle valve, air regulation
This model was specially developed for professional laboratory applications and offers precise regulation of the gas supply as well as an infinitely adjustable air supply. The air is drawn in from below through the conically widened tube at the bottom and can be finely adjusted using a threaded regulating disc. Compared to similar burners on the market, this appliance impresses with its stable flame, high level of safety and reliable performance over long periods of time.
Reliable gas control and efficient combustion
The combination of needle valve and air regulation enables particularly precise control of the flame. While the needle valve regulates the amount of gas, the air control ensures optimum mixing of fuel and oxygen. This allows different flame characteristics to be generated, which are necessary for different applications in the laboratory. Gas consumption can also be regulated as required, which not only saves costs, but also promotes safe and energy-saving work.
Important technical features at a glance:
- Compatible with natural gas and propane gas
- Temperature up to 1560 °C (with propane gas)
- Consumption: 125 l/h (natural gas) or 65 l/h (propane gas)
- Load: approx. 1.3 kW (natural gas) or 1.5 kW (propane gas)
- Standardised version in accordance with DIN 30665 available on request
- Weight: 260 g and height: 155 mm
The appliance has a tube diameter of 14 mm as standard and a head diameter of 17 mm for even flame distribution. Thanks to the high-quality workmanship and low weight, the burner is easy to handle and yet robust enough to withstand the demands of professional laboratories. An optional adhesive base is available on request and provides additional stability if required in the respective application.
One of the key features is that this DIN burner cannot be completely switched off according to the standard (DIN 30665). A small flame therefore remains when the gas tap or needle valve is closed. From a safety point of view, it is therefore crucial that the gas supply is ultimately interrupted at the central laboratory shut-off valve. This prevents the gas from accidentally continuing to burn and ensures maximum safety.Certifications and standards
For many laboratories, compliance with certain standards is mandatory. The device is available with DIN 30665 and DIN-DVGW reg. no. NG-2211AN0133. This means that it fulfils key safety and quality requirements that are essential for professional use in research facilities, schools and industrial environments. The certifications also simplify approval procedures and ensure smooth integration into existing laboratory concepts.
Application examples
Thanks to the stable flame control and flexible adjustment of gas and air, this burner is suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Sterilisation of microbiological equipment such as inoculation loops or flasks
- Heating test tubes and Erlenmeyer flasks for chemical reactions
- Melting agar and other culture media in biotechnology laboratories
- Dissolving metals from slag samples in metallurgical test laboratories
Due to its robust design, the burner is also suitable for frequent switching between natural and propane gas operation. This makes it particularly interesting for laboratories that use different fuels flexibly and require variable flame characteristics.
FAQs
How should I operate the burner safely?
Make sure that there are no flammable materials in the immediate vicinity within the working area. Only adjust the amount of gas and air supply when the burner is safely positioned on the surface and always monitor the flame.
Can I switch off the flame completely using the needle valve?
No, with the DIN version a minimal flame continues to burn even when the needle valve is closed. To switch off completely, the gas must be turned off at the central laboratory shut-off.
How high can the temperature get with propane gas?
With propane gas, a flame temperature of up to 1560 °C can be reached. Propane is therefore often the preferred choice for precise experiments at high temperatures.
What maintenance measures are required
Regular visual inspections for wear or contamination are recommended. Make sure that there is no residue in the burner tube and clean the outside of the burner to prevent rust formation.
Conclusion
The precise regulation of the gas and air supply makes the burner ideal for a wide range of laboratory processes with high safety and temperature control requirements. It enables controlled flame operation for applications in chemistry, biology or metallurgy and can be operated with both natural gas and propane gas. Thanks to the optional DIN certification and the robust design, it fulfils all common requirements placed on gas burners in professional laboratories. This means that nothing stands in the way of safe and efficient work with this laboratory appliance.
