Airtorch™ Frequently Asked Questions


The Airtorch™ is a powerful tool that utilizes clean and safer electric energy, with our patented technology to quickly create convective hot air or inert gas to 1000°C and plasma up to 1300°C.

Airtorch™ Powers:
.5kW
1kW
3kW
6.5kW
10.5kW
15kW
30kW
60kW
There are advantages to using the Airtorch™:

  • More efficient heat transfer by forced hot air/gas convection: An electrically heated mini-chamber purges heated air/gas, minimizing heat loss. Heated air exits the chamber without any metal contact. Therefore, the outside of the chamber remains cool while the outlet air is extremely hot.
  • Pollution free: No harmful, pungent, or contaminant gas to harm the user or part being heated. Using the Airtorch™ is a virtually silent operation.
  • Ability to reduce oxidation with the use of inert gas and high temperatures: Gases can be selected for the outlet: air, nitrogen, or an inert gas. By selecting the appropriate gas, oxidation of materials may be reduced. This has a great advantage over conventional flame torches.
  • Process Control: Ability to control temperature and repeat performance, unlike the conventional flame.
  • Low equipment cost: Advantage: one unit can be used for a variety of applications. Offering great value for heat-treating and maintenance.

Airtorch™ can be used for several applications:
  • Shrink packaging containers and/or pallets and tamper proof bands and/or bags.
  • Heating conveyor ovens or heat tunnels.
  • Activation of adhesives.
  • Drying bottles, glues, and inks.
  • Sealing and bonding.
  • Laminating and curing.
  • Shrinking tamper proof bags.
  • Shrinking PE shrink sleeves on bottles.
  • Last but not least, our Plasma Airtorch™, can be used for disinfecting, removing plastic mould flash and sterilizing packaging materials and surfaces.
