Invest in a technology with the potential to significantly improve welding workplace safety The Business
This Company has invented an environmentally conscious technology that addresses many of the problems inherent at the point-of-operation during tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding.
The invention is comprised of an adjustable vacuum and support system that evacuates particulate matter, smoke, toxic gas and molten metal generated during back-gouging, cutting and weld removal. It creates a clean, consistent gouge path in preparation for welding plate; removes a weld bead without cutting or grinding; can be used manually or adapted to automation; and easily adapts to existing welding devices. The system protects the welder, bystanders, and the surrounding areas.
The system completely changes the dynamics of a TIG welding operation: it dramatically improves worker safety, protects the environment, significantly increases worker productivity, and favorably impacts job costing and profitability.
Market
The global market for welding products in 2011 is estimated at $16.3 billion, and projected to cross $17 billion in 2012.
The Company has a working prototype. Patent searches have so far not found any known competitors for the system. Although there are devices such as portable welding fume extractors or industrial ventilation systems, both are unattached to the welding torch, and do not provide the benefits and solutions of the Company’s system. The Company is seeking equity investors to fund the commercial development of the system.
