Igniters

At Hewa you will find MBS igniters for pellet boilers, intended for maintenance, repair and replacement of the ignition element. A properly functioning pellet igniter is important for a reliable start-up phase, correct combustion and trouble-free pellet boiler operation.

Always check the MBS pellet boiler type, original part number, output, length, diameter and connection type before ordering. This helps prevent incorrect installation and ensures that the pellet igniter is suitable for the specific application.

MBS igniters for pellet boilers

MBS igniters are used for automatic ignition in MBS pellet boilers. During the start-up phase, the igniter heats up and ensures that the pellets ignite quickly and reliably. A properly functioning pellet igniter is therefore important for stable start-up, correct combustion and reliable boiler operation.

If a pellet boiler starts with difficulty, requires longer ignition times or shows error messages during start-up, the igniter may be worn or defective. Always check whether the new igniter technically matches the original component.

Important when selecting an MBS igniter

  • Check the exact type of MBS pellet boiler
  • Compare output, voltage and electrical connection
  • Check the length, diameter and version of the igniter
  • Make sure the cable and plug match the original component
  • Clean the burner area before installing the new igniter
  • Avoid installing an igniter with different specifications
  • Have replacement carried out by a qualified installer or service technician

Application and replacement

A pellet igniter is a wear-sensitive component because it must reach high temperatures during every start cycle. Over time, the igniter may become slower, produce less heat or fail completely. This is often noticeable through longer start-up times, smoke development during ignition or a boiler that no longer ignites automatically.

When replacing the igniter, it is important that it is positioned correctly in the holder and aligned properly with the pellets. Incorrect positioning can result in poor ignition, unnecessary component stress or recurring start-up problems.

Frequently asked questions about MBS igniters

What is an MBS igniter used for?

An MBS igniter is used to automatically ignite pellets during the start-up phase. The igniter heats up quickly and brings the pellets to ignition temperature so combustion can begin.

When should a pellet igniter be replaced?

Replacement is recommended when the boiler ignites poorly, shows start-up error messages, requires longer start-up times or when the igniter is visibly damaged or defective.

Are all MBS igniters the same?

No, igniters can differ in output, voltage, length, diameter, cable version and connection. Always compare the original component with the new igniter.

Can an incorrect igniter cause faults?

Yes, an igniter with incorrect specifications can cause poor ignition, error messages, overload or damage to boiler components.

Can Hewa help check the correct igniter?

Yes, Hewa can support you in checking the correct application. Preferably provide the pellet boiler type, photos of the old igniter and any available technical data.
