Startwel® Ignition System

The ignition system is engineered to fit precisely into the round opening in the lid of the Pandrol Crucible. Once the crucible is prepped and ready to pour, the Startwel® Ignition System can be placed in the lid and deployed safely by removing the metal clip grounding the prongs.
