Aquaflame machines are ideal for both jewellery manufacturing and jewellery repairs. They are widely used by independent jewellers, manufacturing jewellers, and repair departments of retail jewellers. Aquaflame is a versatile and powerful machine that enables the operator to do all of the soldering jobs in the workshop. It can also be used for melting scrap for recycling and annealing. Additionally, Aquaflame is the perfect tool for soldering all types of precious metals.

Description

Aquaflame machines are widely used for soldering jewellery – they produce a clean, high temperature precision flame that can be used for a number of jewellery soldering / welding applications as follows:

  • Melting yellow gold, melting white gold, melting rose gold, melting silver, melting copper, melting brass, melting bronze, melting up to 25 gm bar / ingot
  • Soldering thick and very thin chains (1 mm)
  • Soldering earring posts
  • Soldering dress rings, wedding rings, engagement rings, eternity rings, signet rings, stacking rings
  • Re-sizing all types of rings
  • Soldering filigree items
  • Re-tipping and re-clawing
  • Soldering heavy weight bracelets
  • Platinum soldering using no.18 & 19 nozzles
  • Annealing wire and sheet metal, Annealing Blanks
  • Melt ups for recycling scrap metal
  • Soldering bangles
  • White metal and pewter soldering
  • Micro-welding jewellery
  • Micro-soldering jewellery

Using a standard electrical supply, hydrogen and oxygen are produced by the electrolysis of distilled water so that the hydrogen can be burnt in the oxygen. The oxyhydrogen gas is passed through an MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) solution which reduces the temperature to about 1850°C and transforms the flame to a blueish yellow colour. The flame is a highly controllable and efficient high energy heat source. The only product of this process, other than energy, is water. The Aquaflame is safe as it only produces gas as required; it is also efficient, clean and environmentally friendly. Aquaflame is truly a remarkable soldering machine.

* While the Aquaflame will produce a flame up to 3300°C, we do not recommend using it without MEK. MEK gives the most stable flame at a temperature of about 1850°C

Aquaflame in industry

Overview

AQF Machine

Aquaflame is also referred to as:
A water torch, micro weld, mini Solder/Welder, micro flame, aqua torch, hydro flame, oxy hho.

Aquaflame machines are high performance oxyhydrogen gas-generating units producing a high temperature precision flame – in the range of 1200-3300°C * (2192-5972°F) used for soldering and welding items.

Using a standard electrical supply, hydrogen and oxygen are produced by the electrolysis of distilled water so that the hydrogen can be burnt in the oxygen. The oxyhydrogen gas is passed through an MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) solution which reduces the temperature to about 1850°C and transforms the flame to a blueish yellow colour. The flame is a highly controllable and efficient high energy heat source. The only product of this process, other than energy, is water. The Aquaflame is safe as it only produces gas as required; it is also efficient, clean and environmentally friendly.
