Industrial Applications

What makes a BSL gas mixer so useful?

From on-site welding and cutting to high-flow, low-pressure applications and robotic welding, the list of where gas mixers can be used in an industrial setting is almost infinite, but here are a few key applications:
In gas metal arc welding (GMAW/MIG), gas mixers can be used to blend argon (Ar) with carbon dioxide (CO₂) or oxygen (O₂) for improved arc stability, penetration and weld appearance.
In flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), argon (Ar) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) mixtures can be used to shield the weld pool and stabilise the arc, enhancing weld properties and reducing spatter.
In plasma arc welding (PAW), gas mixtures with argon (Ar), hydrogen (H₂), or helium (He) can be used to stabilise the arc.
In oxyfuel welding and cutting, gas mixers can be used to blend oxygen (O₂) with acetylene or other fuels for improved flame characteristics.
Gas mixers can be used to create controlled atmospheres for annealing, carburising and nitriding to enhance metal properties in heat treatment applications.
Controlled gas mixtures can be used to maintain the right atmosphere in glass manufacturing furnaces for high-quality glass production.
In metal 3D printing, gas mixers create inert atmospheres with argon (Ar) or nitrogen (N₂) to prevent oxidation during metal powder fusion.

Easy Installation, Precise Blends

BSL’s on-site gas blending equipment can help you save on operational costs without compromising on process quality or flexibility. Using this equipment reduces the reliance on premixed cylinders, resulting in shorter changeover times, freed-up floor space and decreased safety risks associated with cylinder storage and handling.

On-site blending of bulk, mini-bulk, or micro-bulk gases can lead to significant cost savings and also reduce gas deliveries, inventory handling and associated paperwork.

We have been producing accurate, hard-wearing gas mixing equipment for over 30 years. Our gas mixing panels are electricity-free, don’t require the use of buffer tanks and are designed to operate flawlessly in any production environment.
