A piezo igniter uses the piezoelectric effect: a spring-loaded hammer strikes a ceramic crystal (often lead zirconate titanate), creating a high-voltage pulse that jumps across an electrode gap and lights the gas. Because the crystal itself generates electricity, no batteries or wiring are required.
Instant Ignition
Sparks up burners in milliseconds, reducing gas buildup and “whoosh” hazards.
Self-Powered Reliability
Over one million actuations per unit; unaffected by power outages.
Low Maintenance
Simple construction means fewer failure points—no wiring to corrode, no batteries to replace.
Universal Compatibility
Fits ranges, fryers, griddles, pizza ovens, rotisseries, and more across leading brands.
Push-Button Modules
Ideal for griddles, fryers, and cooktops—one-handed operation right at the cooking surface.
Knob-Integrated Ignition
Built directly into control knobs on ovens and ranges for a seamless look.
Extended Shaft Lighters
Hand-held wand igniters for deep-recessed burners in pizza ovens and salamanders.
Ranges & Cooktops (Giorik, Electrolux, Zanussi)
Fryers & Griddles (Ambach, Whirlpool, Berto’s)
Pizza Ovens & Salamanders (Emmepi, Fagor)
Rotisseries & Charbroilers (Gico, Eberhardt)
Keep Electrodes Clean: Regularly wipe grease and carbon deposits to maintain spark strength.
Adjust Spark Gap: Aim for a 2–3 mm gap; too wide and the spark won’t jump reliably.
Inspect the Hammer & Spring: Ensure smooth movement and proper spring tension.
Replace at End-of-Life: When spark output diminishes, swap the crystal module to restore performance.
Our professional-grade piezo igniters are tested for durability, rated for over one million sparks, and compatible with all major HoReCa brands. Backed by expert support and fast shipping, they keep your kitchen running at peak efficiency.
