“With this technology, you can standardise the brazing process...”

What is the technology exactly that your company is marketing?

Brazing with water is the new way of doing brazing. It’s healthy because there are no toxic fumes or optical radiations from the flame. Daily we spend many hours working, and safety in the working place cannot be compromised. Thousands of customers around the globe are already equipped with Oweld oxy-hydrogen gas generators, and more than 4000 workers are brazing with our system at this moment. Because of the quality of the joints and safety, our company has been selected as the official supplier of many big multinationals.

What are the main advantages in using this technology?

Our oxy-hydrogen gas generator can provide two main advantages – in quality of the joints and safety. The flame allows to reduce defects in brazing – because the two gases (oxygen and hydrogen) are mixed by the machine and not by the operator in the torch as it happens now with conventional cylinders. Every operator, every time brazes, regulates the flame in a different way, multiply per ‘x’ operators, you have and ‘n’ types of different flames in the process. With this technology, you can standardise the brazing process, all operators work with the same flame reducing the human error.

The flame is concentrated, heat is therefore localised and does not spread, eliminating the risk to overheat the brazing piece and nearby assembly components. Such a flame drastically reduces the internal oxidation and for the HVAC&R industry less internal oxidation results in extended life-time of the components. Moreover, the concentrated flame stresses less the mechanical properties of the metal, and when you test the pipe (for example) under pressure the breaking point is higher.

Coming back to safety… With this technology, the pressure in the gas pipe line is 0.5 BAR maximum, whereas with conventional gases 200 BAR for cylinders and 3/10 BAR the gas pipe line. With Oweld there is no storage of gas, because the production is only on-demand, only when the operator switches on the flame.”

How is the business in India?

India currently is an important market and equates to 15% of Oxyweld’s Asian business. The country has a buoyant market, because it’s a manufacturing country. Here, the people understand the technology, and are ready to invest in quality and safety in order to be more competitive. Oxyweld has invested heavily by selecting local distributors to ensure quick, smooth and effective deliveries, installations, spare parts available in stock and after-sales.

The entire business world is full of challenges today. How do you see the future?

Well, I look at these new challenges not like threats, but as opportunities for growth. We’re optimistic for the future, and our team is highly motivated. Optimism brings the necessary positivity – and being mixed with hard work it fetches success.

In fact Oxyweld has increased its market share in past these years. We’re going in the right direction by investing in quality and reliability of the products.
