Meker Burner Heavy Base (Product Code: SLE/B/21) is a Meker-type gas burner used for high-temperature work such as crucible ignitions in chemistry and analytical laboratories. Its heavy, wide die-cast metal base, 80 mm across, carries a nickel-plated burner tube topped by a 25 mm perforated plate that gives a stable flame with high, evenly distributed temperature. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as chemistry lab equipment for India and international markets.

In analytical and inorganic practicals this burner is chosen when a standard Bunsen flame is not hot or wide enough: igniting precipitates in a crucible to constant mass, driving water of crystallisation out of salts, heating metal oxides, or bringing a hard-glass tube to a strong, uniform heat. Because the perforated plate spreads the flame across its full 25 mm width, a crucible sitting in a clay triangle is heated from below over its whole base rather than at a single hot spot.
Push the gas tubing fully over the riffled inlet, light the gas at the head, and then turn the air regulator gradually until the flame over the plate becomes short, blue and even. The wide 80 mm base keeps the burner steady under a tripod during long heating runs, which matters in a busy school chemistry lab equipment setup where benches are shared by several students.
The Meker Burner Heavy Base is built by its OEM (original equipment manufacturer), Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab. Production takes place at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy directly from the maker instead of through a trader. Questions about the heavy base, the perforated head or replacement parts are answered by the manufacturer itself. Read the company profile for background on the business and its product range.

Why choose the Meker Burner Heavy Base?
The Meker Burner Heavy Base has a wide die-cast metal base, 80 mm across, which gives it weight and a broad footprint. It is therefore less likely to be knocked over while a hot crucible or tripod is in use during long heating runs.
How is the flame of the Meker Burner Heavy Base adjusted?
On the Meker Burner Heavy Base, rotate the air regulator around the jet. Opening it admits more air for a hotter, bluer flame over the perforated plate; closing it gives a softer, more luminous flame for gentler heating.
Which fuel gas is the Meker Burner Heavy Base set up for?
The gas type and jet size of the Meker Burner Heavy Base are not stated in our current product information. Tell us whether your laboratory uses LPG or piped natural gas when you contact us, so we can confirm the correct configuration.
Is gas tubing included with the Meker Burner Heavy Base?
Tubing is not listed as part of the Meker Burner Heavy Base supply. It can be ordered separately, for example our Burner Tubing, which pushes onto the riffled gas inlet; please confirm the fit when you enquire.
How should the Meker Burner Heavy Base be looked after?
Let the Meker Burner Heavy Base cool completely, then clear the holes of the perforated plate with a soft brush if they become partly blocked, and wipe the nickel-plated tube with a dry cloth. Check the tubing on the inlet for cracks before each session.
Who manufactures the Meker Burner Heavy Base?
The Meker Burner Heavy Base is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and dealers buy it factory-direct, and quotations come straight from the manufacturer.
What should an institutional quotation request include?
For the Meker Burner Heavy Base, send the quantity, the fuel gas used in your laboratory, the delivery location in India or abroad, and any tender format you must follow. Bulk orders from schools, colleges and distributors are welcome.
