You use injection moulding for your plastics production and you want to be highly innovative through your own designs, supply top quality products to your exigent customers as well as obtain raw material savings and weight reduction:

This process requiring an electrical arc is widely used on any metal to obtain good cut properties and high productivity. It can be carried either manually (separation cut) or automatically using robotized equipment.
Carbon steels of up to 15 mm are currently cut with oxygen. Stainless steels and aluminum are cut with nitrogen, while heavy thicknesses of up to 60-80 mm can be cut with an argon/hydrogen cutting gas.

The High Velocity Oxy-Fuel process is used in various industries such as the aeronautics industry, oil and petroleum equipment, turbines, etc. This process can be used - depending on the powder properties (ceramics, metals, carbides, self-fluxing powders) - with various fuel gases such as Hydrogen, Acetylene, FLAMAL, SPRAL, LPG's or Kerosene. In this last case, the oxygen supply is at a high pressure and flow rate. This process has the advantage of producing a high density and a high coating thickness when using carbon dioxide cooling.

Cryo-grinding, or freeze-grinding, involves cooling a material to low or very low temperatures with a cryogenic fluid (typically liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide) in order to produce particles with a narrow size distribution.

MIG: Metal Inert Gas welding (inert gases such as argon, helium or mixes).
These mixes are mainly used for sensitive stainless steels and aluminum or copper alloy welding.

Flame applications for cutting processes require FLAMAL, the oxy-fuel flame and straight oxygen as a cutting jet to separate the metal.
Mainly used in automatic for separating metals of more than 15 mm thickness, this process is efficient on carbon steels and sometimes on stainless steels with iron powder (heavy thickness of over 60 mm).
The high flexibility of this process combined with its excellent cutting performances confer it a very general-purpose character. It is thus very used for manual and automatic operations in metal fabrication, shipyards, boilers, scrapping, installation, etc.

Thermal coating, wire flame coating - anti-corrosion or wear-resistant coating.

You produce expanded polystyrene, polyolefin or polyurethane foam and you want to use carbon dioxide as a safe and environmentally friendly blowing agent be able to control all the properties of your foamed polymers with accurate carbon dioxide dosing and high reliability.

Brazing processes are either manual or automatic. They are used for heat exchangers in air conditioning, taps, sanitary equipment and compressor parts ...
Fuel gases are Acetylene, FLAMAL or Hydrogen.
Recommended products : FLAMAL Flo,Oxygen, Acetylene, FLAMAL, ALTOP, ROLLERFLAM

Control of the atmosphere composition, flow rate and pressure in each zone of your continuous, open-ended furnace is a key factor in the quality of your treatment, the economics of your process and the safety of your workforce.
