small size and low weight makes it valuable for small
liquid dispensing machines, as well as large ones with
multiple heads, where higher pressures and flow rates
might be used to cater for the output of a multi-head
machine.”
PurgeGate® has found valuable applications in the
Welding Industry, where inflatable devices are used
for Weld Purging of tubes and pipes.
Setting flow rates and pressures on gas regulators
can be interfered with by personnel distant to the
welding process, who might move the controls or play
with them, without realising the harm that can be
done.
If inflatable devices are caused to burst during a tube
or pipe weld sequence then the loss of protective
gas can cause a highly expensive and extremely
inconvenient weld repair.
PurgeGate® is fitted as standard on HFT®’s
QuickPurge® and HotPurge® Tube, Pipe and Pipeline
Weld Purging Systems and is an optional extra for
their lower cost PurgElite® and PurgExtra® series.
PurgeGate® is designed to fit on all brands of Pipe
Purging Systems and the reusable valve can easily be
moved from system to system.
