Usbeck Teclubrenner Allgas, needle valve from below
The Usbeck Teclub burner Allgas, needle valve from below is ideal for precise heating processes in laboratory environments, workshops and training centres. Its conically widened tube and the particularly finely adjustable air supply ensure a uniform flame for natural gas, propane and butane. The pinpoint needle valve from below allows the gas supply to be precisely regulated, enabling exceptionally precise control of the flame size and temperature. Compared to similar burners, this model ensures greater efficiency because the gas flow rate is optimally utilised and the temperature can be kept stable.
Reliable function with sophisticated air and gas control
This burner is specially designed for professionals who need a safe, robust and flexible heat source. Air is drawn in from below through the conically widened pipe. A finely adjustable regulating disc controls the air supply as required, ensuring optimum combustion at all times. There is also the central needle valve, which is suitable for all common types of gas. Any flame outbreaks or flashbacks are largely avoided thanks to the intelligent interplay of air supply and controlled gas volume.
- Compatible with natural gas, propane and butane
- Temperature range up to 1500 °C (natural gas) and 1540 °C (propane gas)
- Consumption with natural gas: approx. 140 l/h, with propane gas: approx. 50 l/h
- Power consumption (load) is between 1.6 kW (natural gas) and 1.7 kW (propane gas)
- Pipe diameter of 14 mm and head diameter of 17 mm
- Height of 155 mm for space-saving use
- Weight of only 255 g for uncomplicated transport
Further details such as the chrome-plated surface (subject to manufacturer's specifications) and the robust head make this torch the first choice for demanding workplaces. It is sturdily manufactured, which means it stands securely on the table and can reliably withstand high temperatures for a long time.
As this model does not have official DIN certification according to the table, it may be subject to additional internal safety testing in some laboratories. However, the design fulfils the usual requirements for laboratory burners in industrial and research environments and meets the high standards of Usbeck KG in terms of quality and performance. This ensures safe and efficient operation.
Concrete applications in laboratories and research
This burner can be used for a wide range of applications, as different types of gas can be utilised. This allows it to be flexibly adapted to room and process conditions. Some typical examples:
- Melting small metal samples at a specific temperature (e.g. solder, lead or tin alloys)
- Heating and annealing of glass tubes in chemical analyses
- Sterilisation of injection needles or laboratory instruments in the microbiology laboratory
- Carrying out flame samples for identification tests (e.g. sodium, potassium or calcium compounds)
The choice between natural gas, propane and butane also means that a suitable gas type is available for every laboratory environment, which is particularly advantageous in research facilities that stock different fuels. Thanks to its compact height, the burner can also be easily positioned in confined workbenches.Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How exactly can the flame intensity be regulated?
The flame intensity is controlled via the needle valve, which is located on the underside of the burner. The air supply is finely adjusted on the regulating disc so that the flame can be individually adjusted to the desired application.
Can the burner also be used outdoors?
In principle, operation outdoors is possible, but it should be noted that wind or strong air currents can affect combustion and therefore the temperature. A wind-protected area is recommended for laboratory or research purposes.
Which gas cylinder size is best suited?
This depends on the planned duration of use. For high consumption quantities and longer burning times, a larger gas cylinder for propane or butane makes sense. Smaller cartridges are sufficient for shorter jobs, provided the connections can be configured appropriately.
Are there additional elements such as an adhesive base?
According to the technical data, the adhesive base is not included in the scope of delivery and can be purchased as an option for an additional charge. This provides additional stability if oscillations or vibrations are to be expected in the surroundings.
Does the appliance have an integrated ignition device?
No, the appliance is usually lit by hand using a match or ignition rod. This enables precise positioning of the flame and also increases operational safety.
Summary and outlook
The key benefit of this burner lies in its precise control, which is achieved by the needle valve from below in combination with an adjustable air supply. This allows different gas types such as natural gas, propane and butane to be used, which is an advantage in many laboratory areas. Thanks to its compact design and low weight, the device is easy to transport and can be used in various environments. Its robustness, wide temperature range and adjustable air flow make it a reliable tool for everyday laboratory work, training or industrial use. Whether for melting work, sterilisation or flame samples - the burner demonstrates its performance wherever constant and precise heat sources are essential.
