Using CO2 MIG Shielding Gas? 

Cut Gas Cost in Half by Reducing Waste and Go Green with our

Gas Saver System (GSSTM)

The Blast of Shielding Gas Occurring When a MIG Torch Trigger is Pulled Causes Problems:

1) Significant Shielding Gas Waste

2) Inferior Starts Since Air is "Sucked" Into The Resulting Turbulent Shielding Gas Stream

Waste is a problem when using CO2 shielding gas since the regulator pressure can be as high as 80 psi to avoid ice particles restricting flow (It's Also A Problem With Argon Shielding, Click To See Why.) That high pressure stores excess gas in the gas delivery hose each time you stop welding that's expelled when starting. Our patented Go Green Gas Saver System  eliminates these problems and saves from 30 to 60% of gas use! 

The GSS:

bullet

Is simple to install; just replace the existing gas delivery hose from gas supply to welder / feeder with our prefitted GSS hose system.  It reduces the gas surge volume by 80% and limits peak surge flow rate.  Works with existing regulator or flow control. You still control the steady state flow.

bullet

Is inexpensive.  A commonly used 6 foot GSS system (Part Number FB6 ) cost less than $60 and will typical cut shielding gas use by 50% so you'll have a very quick payback!

bullet

Reduces the gas surge at the start producing better shielding for sounder welds with less starting spatter so wasteful repair or grinding may not be needed.

bullet

Reduces the CO2 waste going into the atmosphere and also the number of times your gas supplier will have to expend energy to fill and delivery the ~200 pound cylinders or to delivery to your bulk tank  

(Note: One industrial MIG welder typically wastes over 140,000 ft3 (CF) of  CO2 per year.  That's about 17,000 pounds (8.5 tons!) of wasted CO2 per welder per year!  Email for Calculation Details.

If your using Argon gas mixtures you have similar distribution and much higher production energy waste problems SEE Why. )

 

 

How Much Shielding Gas is Wasted on Each Weld Start or Torch Pull?

Up to 6 times the gas hose volume (from gas supply to welder / feeder) ; See Why.

How does the GSS work?

bullet

If your using Argon  mixtures you also have excess gas surge since regulator/flowmeter pressures range from 25 to 50 psi still 8 to 15 times that in the delivery hose when welding!  Why are pressures designed to be a minimum of 25 psi?
