You only need to change your torch tip to make the switch to hi-pressure natural
gas. We have the right tips for all brands and models of cutting torches...hand torches,
machine torches, and specialty equipment such as powder cutting torches.

Do you need high-pressure natural gas for your Messer cutting system with ALFA torches?
Using a cutting torch fueled by hi-pressure natural gas means cleaner cuts with less
slag, less top edge rounding and less grinding for faster cleanup.
Compared to any other oxy-fuel cutting torch, such as an acetylene torch or a propane
torch, natural gas gives top performance at lower cost with similar piercing and
cut travel speeds.
Keep the torch body you already use - simply switch to a natural gas cutting tip!

The Edison Welding Institute says...
Natural gas is an excellent fuel...it had less tendency to round the top edge of
the cut and produced less slag or dross. Also, the dross that was produced...did
not adhere as tightly to the plate and was more easily removed. No difference was
found in cutting speed between acetylene and natural gas...
Hi-pressure natural gas starts fast and pierces quickly.
One New Jersey metal fabricator pierces 1 1/2” plate steel in about 20 seconds with
hi-pressure natural gas from a G-TEC TB-500 Torch Booster!
Comparing 1” plate steel cut with acetylene (left) and natural gas (right) shows
a cleaner cut with less slag and any slag that is formed is more easily removed from
the natural gas cut piece.

G-TEC Torch Boosters and shows a brief cutting demonstration
G-TEC Torch Boosters connect to a standard utility gas line and boost pressure as
high as 45 psi. Just turn the Torch Booster ON at the start of the first shift and
OFF at the end of the day - you get an endless supply of high-pressure natural gas
for your cutting torches. Torch Boosters deliver gas in exactly the same way as a
cylinder or bulk tank, except that you save money and never run out!
Pick The Right Torch Booster For Your Shop
TB-30 - For shops with one oxy-fuel torch TB-30 boosts utility gas pressure to 25
psi at 40 cf/hr. TB-30 measures only 12’ wide and 12” tall with a depth of 16” and
is easy to install almost anywhere.

TB-60 - For shops with 2 oxy-fuel torches TB-60 Torch Boosters supply high-pressure
natural gas at 60 cf/hr at pressure up to 25 psi.
TB-125 - For shops with 3 or 4 torches T B-125 boosts pressure to 25 psi and delivers
125 cf/hr.
TB-60 and TB-125 Torch Boosters are in cabinets that measure 20” wide, 16” tall and
18” deep, about the size of a window air conditioner.

TB-250 - When your shop has up to 6 torches TB-250 can boost gas pressure as high
as 45 psi and delivers 300 cf of gas per hour. Install a regulator to set gas pressure
between 1-45 psi.
TB-500 - When your shop has up to 12 torches TB-500 is our biggest Torch Booster
and can boost pressure to 45 psi at 500 cf/hr. Install a regulator to set gas pressure
between 1-45 psi.
TB-250 and 500 systems measure 28” wide, 20” tall and 24” deep.

Do you have more than 12 cutting torches or multiple production stations in your
shop?
Good news! Torch Boosters can be connected to a gas manifold to supply multiple cutting
tables or production areas, and if you have more than 12 torches in your facility,
multiple Torch Booster modules can be connected together. Based on your torch cutting
requirements G-TEC will design the right combination of Torch Boosters for you!
