Industries we serve

Mining

Extraction of metals, minerals, and ferroalloys from the earth.

Lance tubes are used to open tap holes, clear slag passages, and cut through hardened furnace material in smelters processing copper, platinum, ferrochrome, and other ores. Downtime is expensive, so reliable lancing is critical.

Steel Mills

Production of steel from iron ore and scrap using blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces, and ladles.

Our hollow and wirepacked lances handle ladle bottom cleaning, nozzle opening, and cutting scrap. The process needs high heat and zero flashbacks to keep continuous casting lines running.

Foundries

Facilities that melt metals and pour them into molds to create cast parts for automotive, engineering, and heavy industry.

Lancing clears blocked runners, melts refractory buildup, and cuts large castings or ingots. Speed + precision = less rework on expensive casts.

Heavy Equipment Maintenance

Service and repair of earthmoving machines, mining trucks, crushers, and plant equipment.

Used to cut seized pins, remove worn liners, and dismantle thick steel components during rebuilds. Reduces oxy-fuel cutting time and heat distortion on critical parts.

Underwater & Marine

Offshore operations, ship salvage, dock maintenance, and underwater construction/repair.

Specialized lancing cuts through steel hulls, pilings, and submerged structures. Your products work in wet, high-pressure environments where conventional cutting fails.

Fire & Rescue

Emergency services that respond to structural fires, vehicle accidents, and disaster scenes.

Thermal lances cut through reinforced concrete, steel beams, and security doors in seconds during rescue or breach operations where time saves lives.

Demolition

Controlled teardown of buildings, bridges, industrial plants, and concrete structures.

Lance tubes slice through rebar, structural steel, and composite materials faster than saws or torches, especially in confined or hazardous demo sites.

Military & Police

Defense forces and law enforcement units requiring tactical entry, demolition, and engineering support.

Lances provide rapid breaching of hardened targets, safes, and barriers. Portable, high-temperature cutting with minimal logistics burden.

safety first

Forward-Reverse Lock system oxygen leaks and flashbacks

What It Does
The Forward-Reverse Lock provides a positive mechanical seal at the lance-to-hose connection point, eliminating reliance on friction or thread torque alone. The dual-action lock engages in both axial directions, preventing accidental disconnection under pressure.

    Safety Impact
  • Leak Prevention: Maintains a gas-tight seal up to full line pressure, minimizing O₂ leaks that create fire/explosion hazards in hot work zones.
  • Flashback Protection: The rigid connection prevents turbulence and reverse flow paths that can propagate flashbacks into the supply hose. Compatible with inline flashback arrestors for layered protection.
  • Operator Safety: Reduces risk of lance blow-off during purge or ignition, a leading cause of burn injuries in lancing operations.

Greater Precision

Consistent high-temperature cutting >3,500°C for clean openings

What It Does
Engineered orifice geometry and stable O₂ flow delivery maintain lance reaction temperatures above 3,500°C throughout the burn cycle. This avoids temperature drop-off that causes incomplete penetration or ragged cuts.

    Operational Impact
  • Clean Openings: Delivers narrow, predictable kerf widths for tap holes, ladles, and furnace drains without excessive refractory erosion.
  • Process Control: Consistent thermal input reduces variability in breakout times, improving scheduling and heat management.
  • Safety Impact: Predictable performance limits unplanned re-burns and reduces operator time in front of the furnace.

Faster Operations

Quick-connect FRL system reduces downtime between lance changes

What It Does
The tool-free quick-connect interface allows lance changes in under 15 seconds. The FRL mechanism auto-aligns and seals without additional clamps, tape, or sealants.

    Safety Impact
  • Reduced Downtime: Minimizes furnace wait time between lances, critical during time-sensitive tap hole opening or emergency breakout.
  • Simplified Workflow: Standardized connection reduces training burden and human error during changeovers.
  • Safety Impact: Less time in the red zone. Faster retreat from high-heat, high-spatter areas reduces exposure to thermal and inhalation hazards.

Zero Contamination

Leak-free joints maintain melt purity in ferroalloy & copper production

What It Does
Precision-machined FRL couplings with high-temperature sealing elements prevent atmospheric ingress and O₂ leakage at joints. No grease, thread tape, or consumable seals that can degrade or enter the melt.

    Safety Impact
  • Melt Purity: Eliminates introduction of hydrocarbons, moisture, or foreign particulates that cause inclusions in ferroalloy and copper production.
  • Product Quality: Maintains tight chemistry specs by preventing oxygen variation or contamination during oxygen lancing/stirring.
  • Safety Impact: Leak-free joints prevent oxygen-enriched atmospheres around equipment, reducing ignition risk with oils and combustibles.
