Ceramic Igniters For Solid Fuel Furnaces:
Our special application area for the high-temperature heaters is in heating systems that use solid fuels such as wood pellets as the energy source. The challenge here is to ignite the biomass in a very short time while retaining very low emission value. This can only be achieved with a sufficiently high ignition temperature.
Our short surface igniters are perfectly suited for this purpose.
The special geometry of the cylindrical ceramic heaters, in combination with an extremely high surface temperature of 1000°C, heats up the supply air in the shortest possible time to an extremely high temperature. After a maximum of 90 seconds, the fuel is ignited with a fraction of the energy that is required for a hot air of ignition blower.
This works, of course, not only with pellets, but also with wood chips, firewood, coal bricks or other solid fuels made of biomass.
Ceramic Igniter Advantages:
• Ready assembled, easy-to-install systems
• Space-saving, noiseless and impervious to overheating (in case the blower fails)
• Extremely long-lasting and resilient
• Minimal energy consumption
• Completely electrically insulated
• No exposed electrical contacts
• No sensitive welding points
• Long lasting (non aging)
• Time to ignition 60~90 seconds
• Available in 100V / 120V / 220V / 240VAC
• Fully electrically insulated with no exposed electric contacts
• Impervious to oxidation and corrosion
• Ignite wood pellet, wood chips, split logs, straw and other biomass
• Comply with RoHS, REACH, CE regulation on Hazardous Subsctances
Not without reason, the high temperature heating elements pellet igniter is the reliable standard ignition system for pellet heating systems in Europe-hundreds of satisfied customers speak for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose ceramic igniters over traditional metal heating elements? How fast do they ignite biomass fuels?
Ceramic igniters generate surface temperatures up to 1000°C—nearly double that of traditional metal-sheathed elements. This ultra-high thermal output heats the airflow rapidly, igniting wood pellets, chips, and biomass in just 60 to 90 seconds. By drastically reducing ignition time, they consume a fraction of the electricity required by conventional blowers, eliminate aging/oxidation issues, and significantly cut emissions.
Can I buy custom ceramic igniters for different solid fuel systems? What voltage and mounting options are available from the manufacturer?
Yes, as an experienced technical ceramic manufacturer, INNOVACERA supplies both standard and custom ceramic igniter systems tailored to various wood pellet burners, straw burners, and industrial biomass furnaces. The igniters are fully electrically insulated, CE/RoHS compliant, and available in multiple voltage configurations (100V, 120V, 220V, and 240VAC) with ready-assembled, easy-to-install housings.
