The FIREBOY range of affordable mobile Bunsen burners are intrinsically much safer than traditional Bunsen burners having advanced temperature protection, flame monitor and alarm display features to protect the operator and operating environment.  The gas ignition is both rapid and safe; with the FIREBOY no lighter or matches are required.  The system has an infrared sensor that provides non-touch ignition of the gas supply when an object passes slowly through the sensor window at a distance of 6 to 8 centimetres.  A foot-activated switch that automatically turns off five minutes after the last activation is used to control the FIREBOY eco.  Consequently the FIREBOY range, unlike traditional Bunsen burners, minimise the consumption of oxygen and operating environment heat build-up making the laboratory a more pleasant place to work in. As the flame is only on if it is needed, the economic FIREBOY also provides a dramatic five to fifteen fold decrease in gas usage over traditional Bunsen burners. With no interfering cables or tubes the 'hands-free' FIREBOY is extremely easy-to-use.
