COMPRESSED AIR PETROL PRE HEATING EQUIPMENT

This system is designed for pre-heating the rail ends for welding by the alumino-thermic process. The joint is preheated for a moderately low period thereby achieving better metallurgical characteristics by minimizing the width of the heat affected zone.

Preheating time required for SKV Process

Rail Section	Preheating Time
UIC 60 Kg/m	4 ½ minutes
52 Kg/m	4 minutes
90 R	3 ½ minutes
75 R	3 minutes

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Maximum Air Pressure	0.5 Bar
Air discharge	70 m3/hr
Overall Dimensions	L = 1250, W = 500, H = 950 mm.
Operating pressure for preheating	0.15 to 0.2 bar
Gross weight	113 Kg.

Special Feature & Advantages


		Human error is eliminated as the system is mechanized.
		System requires considerably less time for preheating of rail ends and thereby reduces the block time.
		Improved metallurgical characteristics are created as the heat affected zone in the weld is narrowed.
		System requires petrol as fuel, hence oxygen and propane cylinders are not required to be carried to site.
