Description
The Model 187 is designed to provide optimum uniform powder flow commensurate with required gas flow and tip size used. Powder recoveries of up to 95% are common, depending on the part being hardfaced and type and grade of powder being used. The torch is lightweight, thereby reducing operator fatigue to a minimum. The torch is safe to operate. A special safety feature of the torch provides a venturi tube within the hopper that directs blowback outside and not into the hopper. Whether blowback is caused by simple back flushing to clean the powder passages or by accidental backfiring there is little chance of powder blowing into an operator’s face or of accumulating mixed gases in the hopper.
