Lancing Experience
Major Industries
Compromise Product Guarantee
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
