Usbeck Meker burner, needle valve, air regulation
The Usbeck Meker burner, needle valve, air regulation is specially designed for precise flame control and high heat output in professional laboratory environments. Thanks to its wider and longer burner tube, it achieves a higher output and larger flames than many comparable standard burners. This speeds up work processes, which is particularly advantageous for time-critical applications in laboratories and research. Compared to conventional laboratory burners, this model offers an extremely robust design as well as practical air and gas regulation, which ensures flexible adaptation to different burning processes.
Performance features and technical details
This laboratory burner is particularly interesting for professionals looking for a reliable heat source with a long service life and high precision. The product is characterised by a variety of features that are relevant not only for chemical, but also for biological or pharmaceutical applications in the laboratory. The most important technical features include:
- Suitable for natural gas (at approx. 1500 °C) and propane gas (at approx. 1350 °C)
- Adjustable needle valve and adjustable air supply for precise flame control
- Consumption with natural gas 120 l/h, with propane gas 75 l/h
- Load of 1.8 kW (natural gas) and 2 kW (propane gas)
- Pipe diameter 28 mm and head diameter 32 mm
- Compact height of 200 mm and a weight of 335 g
Additionally, an adhesive base is available for an extra charge, which further improves stability on smooth table surfaces. The particularly high flame output is achieved by the special meker head in the upper part of the burner. Thanks to this design, the flame is evenly distributed and efficiently reaches the required temperature. The result is an ideal heat supply that ensures even results when heating gaseous or liquid substances. Thanks to the precise adjustment of the needle valve and the air regulation, the flame shape can be adapted to very specific processes, be it rapid heating of reaction mixtures or gentle heating of temperature-sensitive substances.
If required, the flame can be adjusted particularly finely, making the device ideal for work that requires consistently high temperatures. Typical examples include sterilisation processes for laboratory instruments such as inoculation loops or tweezers, annealing glassware or quickly heating organic samples to dissolving temperatures. Thanks to the robust stainless steel construction, the material retains its shape even when exposed to high heat.
Certifications and standards
Although there is no specific DIN certification, this burner is characterised by high-quality manufacturing and consistent quality controls at Usbeck KG. CE labelling is a matter of course for gas appliances, so that safe working with gas cylinders and pipes is possible even without a DIN specification. Consistent quality monitoring during production also minimises deviations and guarantees reproducible performance.
Application examples
- Chemical laboratory: Ideal for carrying out titrations at elevated temperatures or for heating solutions that need to be brought to boiling point quickly.
- Biological laboratory: Perfect solution for annealing inoculation loops and for the safe sterilisation of glass instruments in the microbiological field.
- Pharmaceutical research: Precise temperature control facilitates the gentle heating of heat-sensitive substances that need to react at specific temperatures.
- Material testing: The consistently high flame output ensures rapid heating of metallic samples or polymer materials for material analysis.
FAQs
How is the flame regulated?
The flame is regulated via the integrated needle valve in combination with an infinitely adjustable air supply. This allows both the flame height and the flame pattern to be customised.
Can I use the appliance with both types of gas?Yes, it can be operated with both natural gas and propane gas. Please observe the specific consumption and temperature specifications to achieve optimum results.
What safety instructions should be observed during operation?Make sure that the burner is connected to a safe gas supply line. Before each start-up, check all connections for leaks and, if necessary, place an adhesive foot to protect the burner from tipping over.
Is it possible to retrofit an adhesive foot at any time?
Yes, an adhesive foot is available for an additional charge and can also be retrofitted to increase stability. This additional stability factor is particularly appreciated for longer heating processes.
Does it require special cleaning or maintenance?
Clean the burner head of residues, especially soot or other particles. Regular visual inspection for impurities and removing them with a suitable brush will significantly extend the service life.
Conclusion
Thanks to its robust design, larger head diameter and precisely adjustable air and gas regulation, this laboratory burner provides an even and efficient heat source for a wide range of laboratory applications. Whether natural or propane gas, the burner is flexible enough to implement various process parameters with little effort, ensuring a safe and productive working environment. In chemical, biological and pharmaceutical laboratories in particular, it sets high standards in terms of performance and reliability and supports precise work steps, whether for heating, sterilising or melting various substances. This optimally covers a wide range of testing and analysis activities and contributes to an overall productive workflow.
