New Gas Blender Mixes Shielding Gases on Site
Instrument Reduces Production Costs, Enhances Quality
February 17, 2003 - Virginia Beach, VA - CONCOA has introduced a new, easy-to-use blender that enables users to create precise custom-blended gas mixtures on site for GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) industrial welding applications.
Designed to increase productivity by eliminating time-consuming cylinder handling, the BlendMaster(TM) 1000 Series provides 0 to 100% blend adjustability for two-component gases. Utilizing pure gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, helium, and oxygen, the BlendMaster enhances quality by maintaining a +/- 1.5% accuracy and eliminates the hassle of stratified high-pressure cylinders in storage.
EquiBlend(TM) technology allows for full flow regardless of the mix or blend ratio, a contrast to fixed-orifice technology. A pressure equalization system minimizes inlet pressure fluctuations to stabilize the mix, broadening the inlet pressure range difference between the major and minor component gases. The BlendMaster is also compatible with a wide variety of cryogenic supply sources, such as liquid cans, micro-bulk and bulk gas supply systems. The low inlet pressure range allows for accurate mixing even while supply sources are filled. Additionally, an optional low-pressure remote alarm can be integrated with other building systems via contact interface to provide a higher level of systems integration.
The BlendMaster 1000, available as either a wall- or floor-mounted unit for installation and maintenance flexibility, provides up to 1,000 SCFH at delivery pressures from 10 to 45 PSIG. A lockable enclosure assures process control, and an integral line regulator supports flowmeters, regulators, and flowmeter installations. Other options include a continuous binary analyzer for single or multiple gas types. Power requirements are 110 or 220 VAC, and ambient atmosphere and gas supply temperature requirements are 32°F to 100°F (0° to 38°C).
Certified ISO 9001, CONCOA manufactures a complete quality line of gas pressure and flow control equipment and delivery systems for worldwide medical, industrial, and specialty gas applications as well as distribution equipment for laser materials processing. The BlendMaster is among the company's pressure control products registered in all-Canadian provinces (CRN OH 5216.5C).
