You must look hard for better return on an investment!
Most companies working with MIG/MAG and TIG welding know very well the price of welding wire per kilogram. But, relatively few are aware that the cost of the shielding gas is at least as high, per meter of weld. The ESAB Optiflow range is designed for one sole purpose, to reduce your consumption of expensive gas, up to 50%. Just a few months using your Optiflow and you will get your money back - the rest is pure profit.
Ordinary regulators are too slow!
The Optiflow produces an optimised shielding gas flow from the very first second. Any traditional regulator will not control the initial flow surge, which is unnecessarily high, and a very expensive waste. In worst cases this excessive surge represents up to 50% of your total shielding gas consumption! The higher the frequency of starts, the more gas is wasted and more money could be earned when you change to the Optiflow.
Quality without cost!
The Optiflow provides optimal start flow that is approx. 1/4 of the initial flow of a conventional regulator. This saves you shielding gas. The smooth initial flow, in addition, enables higher quality of welds since you minimise the turbulence that often influences your welding process.
Optiflow also as lockable version!
Since we are talking about quality, it is important that you should know that the Optiflow can be equipped with a lockable gas flow control. This is an advantage when you need to meet the highest welding quality demands, for instance ISO 9000 certification.
