Flux Recovery System

Flux Recovery System

In submerged arc welding, Unikraft Flux Recovery Systems have proven themselves as the most valuable accessory, in fact almost essential accessory to the entire sub-arc process. The key word is economy. They save valuable flux, help make better welds and produce all-important saving in man hours. Flux recovery Systems not only make for a neater shop and better working conditions but they also keep abrasive flux away from moving parts on the welding rig. Finally, these systems are capable of separating out slag (fused flux) and fines (flux flower) returning only the clean reusable flux to the hopper. The Unikraft Flux Recovery Units have two ranges, either using compressed air or using electric motor. The electrical models can either be fixed or portable units, while the compressed air model will be of fixed type.

The Unikraft, Model ULAP-15 FR comes as an integral unit, comprising of a Flux hopper with 7 liters of fresh flux capacity. It is light, compact, simple in operation and powerful enough to do an excellent recovery job. The recovered flux is collected in an upper chamber placed on top of the hopper. The filtering mesh automatically filters the slag material & allows the usable flux to the lower level hopper.The fines are carried away with the air & are trapped in the filter bag. The Unikraft Lightweight series is designed for intermittent duty with good recovery rates when used with compressed air at minimum 4 bar pressure.
