The HFP 36V uses only propane, no oxygen is required, reducing costs and reducing the total weight to carry on site.
The HFP’s built-in timer increases accuracy, improving quality and reducing the defect rate of weld due to preheating.
Providing a uniform preheat between the head and bottom of the rail reduces stress in the weld.
As the system is fully automated it is easy to use. Less training is required and it is straightforward for new welders to learn to operate.
The use of propane rather than oxygen results in significant cost and weight savings.
The preheater does not require any specific maintenance which makes it easy to manage during daily welding operations.
The HFP is a complete system that can be used to replace most existing preheating equipment.
The preheat technology used by the HFP is less sensitive to pressure adjustment than oxy-propane. It provides a uniform preheat between the head and bottom of the rail.
The HFP is fully automated, with automatic ignition, built-in timer and automatic stop. No manual flame adjustment is required.
The built-in timer can be pre-set by the welder for accurate preheating time.
2 long lasting batteries of 18V with 8.0 Ah, for a safer autonomy up to 8 – 10 preheats depending on the welding process.
The HFP system operates with propane rather than oxygen, saving money and weight.
There is a single torch height for all welds and no adjustment is needed.
With its compact size (L: 740mm, W: 300mm, H: 295mm) and light weight (19kg), the HFP can be easily handled by only one person.
AutoSeal® moulds are Pandrol’s newest aluminothermic welding innovation that streamlines the welding process.
