SF-50: The Automated Pilot Maintainer for Firetube & Pit Flare Applications

When you’re managing firetube applications, pilot reliability is everything. Manual relights waste time, fence chargers fail, and downtime costs more than just money. When you’re managing a flare application, reliable ignition and ease of operation is crucial.

Enter the SF-50—SureFire’s automated pilot maintainer, built to deliver consistent ignition and steady pilot performance without the constant intervention.

Key Features:

  • Automated standing pilot ignition
  • Built-in pilot valve control
  • Igniter and flame sensing in one device
  • One-time setup for automated ignition
  • Digital readoutrun status output, and data logging
  • Integrates easily with multiple applications
  • Cost-effective solution for budget-conscious operations

Why Choose the SF-50?

The SF-50 was engineered as a plug-in-play solution for sites that need reliable pilot operation without the overhead of a complete burner management system. It has operational settings for:

  • Firetube applications
  • Pit flares applications with intermittent gas availability
  • Mobile and stationary flares requiring push-button ignition
  • Sites currently using fence chargers or unreliable manual igniters
  • Operators looking to minimize relights, reduce downtime, and improve site safety

The SF-50 Advantage

  • No more manual relighting. The SF-50 maintains a steady pilot automatically.
  • Replaces outdated ignition methods. Ditch the fence charger. Gain a dependable, enclosed, automated system.
  • Boosts safety and efficiency. Keeps your burner online while reducing hands-on interaction.
  • Reduces emissions. Eliminates unnecessary startup cycles and keeps systems running cleaner.
  • Cost-effective. High performance—without the high price tag.

Whether you’re upgrading a flare system, optimizing a firetube setup, or trying to eliminate constant relight calls, the SF-50 offers the reliability you’ve been missing—in a form factor that fits your site and your budget.
