Precision flame for fine work. The Proxxon MICROFLAM Burner MFB/E is a refillable butane torch with a super fine flame shape and piezo ignition, reaching temperatures up to 1,200°C (2,192°F) — hot enough for soldering, brazing, aluminum solder removal, tinning, and heat treatment of small workpieces. The fine flame profile gives you pinpoint heat control for delicate work in electronics, jewelry design and repair, model building, dental laboratories, and stained glass, where a broad flame would damage surrounding materials. Key Specifications Max temperature: 2,192°F (1,200°C) Flame shape: Super fine — pinpoint heat control Ignition: Piezo lighter (no external ignition source needed) Fuel: Standard lighter fuel (butane) — refillable Tank capacity: 50cc Weight: 237g Part No.: 28146 Applications Soldering: Hard soldering of metal components where an iron can't reach or deliver enough heat Brazing: Joining metals with brass or silver brazing alloy Aluminum solder removal: Heating aluminum joints for disassembly or rework Tinning: Pre-tinning metal surfaces before soldering Heating & baking: Heat treatment of small metal workpieces Shrink tubing: Activating heat-shrink tubing in tight spaces Best Use Environments Jewelry design & repair: Soldering clasps, settings, and fine metalwork Electronics: Rework, desoldering, and heat-shrink applications Model building: Brazing metal model components and heat-forming plastic Dental laboratories: Precision metalwork on dental appliances and frameworks Stained glass: Soldering lead came and copper foil joints Frequently Asked Questions What fuel does this use?Standard lighter fuel (butane) — available at most hardware and convenience stores. The 50cc tank is refillable via a standard butane refill canister. Does it have a built-in igniter?Yes — the MFB/E has a piezo ignition system, so no external lighter or match is needed to light the flame. Is 1,200°C hot enough for silver soldering?Yes — silver solder typically flows between 600–900°C, well within the MFB/E's 1,200°C maximum. Always use appropriate flux and work in a well-ventilated area.
