How HYDROXY Gas Works for Metal Cutting?
1. Maximum Safety
--Steady, reliable fuel delivery. Fuel is available immediately after machine is switched on.
No gas cylinder which can rupture or explode.
--Multiple safety devices, including overheating and in-sufficient water cut-off switches,
will automatically turn off power to ensure the safety of both equipment and user.
2. Environmentally Friendly
--The HYDROXY Gas Generated burns completely without creating pollutants, toxic fumes,
or public nuisance.
--Does not generate hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide.
3. High Mobility
--Our HYDROXY Gas Generator come equipped with wheels to facilitate moving
the generators to the job, not the other way around.
--Our HYDROXY Gas Generator immediately generates fuel as needed, no need for dangerous
gas cylinders.
-- Fuel can be used for long periods of time without overheating peripheral equipment.
4. High Temperature & high-energy
-- The Oxy-hydrogen flame temperature is over 2800c, it is straight, less heat loss and high-efficient.
It could melt refractory metals and none-metals
HYDROXY Gas Generator as Metal Cutting Machine
5. Low Cost & Maximum Economy
--HYDROXY gas is generated only using electricity and pure water. The cost of electricity and
water reduces more than 40% compared with LPG, Propane, and Acetylene fuel.
--Both economical and practical. Energy Saving more than 30% compared with traditional LPG,
Propane, and Acetylene fuel.
6. Low Heat Loss
--Use of HYDROXY fuel provide a more focused heat source with less heat loss, maintaining
more comfortable, safer, lower fatigue working environment.
7. Catalysis characteristic
--Hydrogen is an active catalyst which can be mixed with air to feed in to catalyze and combust all solid,
liquid, gas fuel. It also can speed up the reaction process, promote combustion to be completely.
8. Producing HYDROXY Water Gas on site
-- can supply gas as demanded on site by adopting the advanced automatically control technology,
no gas storage, no pressure bottle, no transportation.
9. Wide application range
-- is suitable for all industries which needs fuel gas to do flame processing, especially flame cutting,
flame welding, heating, melting, incineration

Metal Gas Cutting and Heat Deflection 1. Steel Gas Cutting uses heat reaction of oxygen and steel. Melting by preheating gas and blow away by Oxygen and this is
oxygen cutting.
2. In the past, make preheating flame by mixing oxygen with propane or Acetylene but Gas alone preheat the parent metal
more than 800 C , and then oxidize steel by high pressure oxygen from center of tip at very high temperature. So sharp
and fast metal cutting is made
3. gas has a property to go straight and it makes heat deflection less and the less oxidized iron saving the loss of iron or
parent metal.
HYDROXY Water Gas Generator can be used for Continuous Casting Slab Cutting
Machine
Which consumes water and electricity, electrolyze water into H2 and O2, we can use H2 and O2 as
source of flame replacing acetylene or natural gas or other fuel.
HYDROXY Flame is used for welding, cutting, polishing, brazing, glass processing and jewelry
processing. Also can burnt with other fuel together for heating.
