EXOTHERMIC WELDING
The thermOweld® permanent-connection process has been engineered to be an easy and efficient field welding system. No outside power, bulky gas tanks or other equipment associated with welding are required with the thermOweld® system.
The thermOweld® process creates a permanent, homogeneous and molecular bond that cannot loosen or corrode. Compared to compression connectors, split bolts, crimp connectors, brazing and other connections, the thermOweld® connection is clearly superior. In fact, a thermOweld® connection will also withstand more current than the conductor itself.
Incorporating out EZ Lite® Mold life, ignition is done safely from the top of the mold with limited exhaust emanating from the side vent. This innovation from thermOweld®, combined with other unique features, make even tight field installations possible. For indoor connections where desired, thermOweld® offers low-emissions molds as well. Contractor’s worldwide demand thermOweld® for ease of use and the safest operation.
Using thermOweld® superior weld metal, a high-temperature reaction between special formulations of copper oxide and aluminium occurs in the mold crucible. Upon reaching critical temperature, the resulting molten copper drops into the weld cavity, instantly creating a high-temperature molecular bond with the conductor. This weld connection cools rapidly and the mold can be removed for the next connect with thermOweld® special off-set handle clamps. The thermOweld® process creates a superior connection without the excessive applied heat of brazing, arc welding or soldering. This is important especially for welding insulated cables or to thin-wall pipe.
