Air Products, a leading global industrial gases supplier and integrated gases application solutions provider, introduces its innovative Gastrak™ economisers in China at the Beijing Essen Welding and Cutting Fair 2014 held from June 10 to June 13 at the China International Exhibition Center, Beijing.
Designed to eliminate excessive shielding gas flows at the beginning of each weld known as “pre-weld surge” and optimize the flow rate for each application, Air Products’ Gastrak economizers can reduce the gas consumption by 25% or more with better weld quality. It has been successfully launched in Europe and North America with proven results of quality improvement and cost savings.
“China is one of the world’s largest and fastest growing welding and cutting markets. As costs increase, manufacturers are looking for ways to improve their competitiveness.” said Craig Hunt, global director, Welding and Fabrication at Air Products. “We are happy to introduce Gastrak economisers in China to bring the best gas control technology to welding customers in the country.”
