ASB Industries in Barberton, Ohio replaced propylene with high pressure natural gas
and cut fuel gas costs by $10 per operating hour, eliminated downtime from gas reliquification
in the spray gun and stopped refilling dozens of empty gas cylinders.
A G-TEC Torch Booster can be installed right next to your metal spraying equipment
-
no need for an expensive compressor that requires an outdoor concrete pad !
High pressure natural gas is an excellent fuel for High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF)
thermal spray, flame spray, combustion guns and similar metallizing applications.
Natural gas costs 50% less than propane and 75% less than propylene for equal heat
performance and it is much cleaner than liquid fuel gases.
And because natural gas is always a gas, never liquified, it will not re-liquify
in your spray gun and force expensive downtime while the gun is cleaned. There’s
no need to store gas cylinder inventory because you are connected directly to the
gas utility supply and coating quality is equal to slightly better than propane or
propylene.
Until now using natural gas required a large, expensive compressor installed outdoors
on a concrete pad. A G-TEC Torch Booster does not need any special site-preparation
and can be located right in the shop area.
