Startwel® Ignition System product overview
The Startwel® Ignition System is a new, easy way for welders to ignite the weld charge to initiate the pour process of the Pandrol aluminothermic weld. It has been developed and patented by Pandrol to replace the traditional ‘sparkler’ igniter design.
- The ignition system is engineered to fit precisely into the round opening in the lid of the Pandrol crucible.
- Once the crucible is prepped and ready to pour, Startwel® can be placed in the lid and deployed safely by removing the metal clip grounding the prongs.
- On ignition, a drop of molten metal falls inside the crucible and causes combustion of the aluminothermic charge.
