Uses of Autotorch brazing system
In addition to the uses shown which these brazing burners will usually do faster, the brazing system is ideal for silver soldering of copper pipes and as a portable bronze brazing system for the following areas of work:
- Maintenance
- Jewellery
- Refrigeration
- Steam fittings installation
- Model engineering
- Heating and ventilating
- Agricultural machinery maintenance
- General engineering repair
- Appliance repair
- Lighting barbecues
- Lighting braziers, coal and coke fires
- Technoweld aluminium brazing
The Autotorch acetylene system
Has improved performance over the Autotorch brazing system and is particularly good for Bronze brazing and Technoweld work.
Kilns
Bullfinch standard burners can be used for providing the burners for kilns. Most kilns have different requirements and so it is hard to give specific advice. We do have an informal information sheet on how our burners may be set up for a Kiln suggested layout - click here. It is important to remember that the burners do require space round them to allow air to be drawn in for combustion at the front and the back of the burners.
