As part of the wide selection of igniter products, Crystal-Technica offers the Mini-lite™ which is the perfect partner with any cook top burners. This patented igniter has been designed to meet the rigorous demands of cook top burners. The Mini-lite™ not only has fast time to temperature, less then 2 seconds, but is a more compact and robust design than any of its fragile Silicon Carbide hot surface igniter equivalents. The Mini-lite™ offers the optimum in cook top ignition and completely eliminates the electromagnetic characteristics (EMC) that are present in spark generated systems which are the cause of many problems. It is also silent! Voltage and power consumptions are very low. This allows for, on the one hand, an economical and simple system design and on the other, as sophisticated as your imagination will stretch bearing in mind that our hot surface igniters can be used as sensor probes so once the gas has been ignited the Mini-lite™ can form part of any re-ignition system.

Infrared Gas Igniters are made of exceptionally strong ceramic which makes an ideal solution for cook top burners. The igniter can withstand all the rigors of a modern appliance. It has excellent thermal shock capabilities, can be cleaned with all household detergents, acid or alkali, it can withstand bangs and scrapes issued out to it during the course of cooking and cleaning and will last for years and years. The Mini-lite™ can be used on demand or continuously and is not position sensitive like a spark electrode. It will ignite all types of gas at any setting and of course relight a burner instantly whether in continuous mode or as part of the flame sensing system.
