The hooked arm feature on this Oxygen/Acetylene Gas Economiser is a clever mechanism designed to enhance efficiency and reduce gas waste during welding operations. Here’s how it works:

Automatic Shut-off

When the welder is not actively using the torch, they can simply place it on the hooked arm of the economiser.
This action triggers an automatic shut-off mechanism that stops the gas flow to the torch.
By cutting off the gas supply when the torch is not in use, the gas economizer prevents unnecessary gas consumption during breaks or pauses in welding.

Instant Reactivation

When the welder is ready to resume work, they only need to lift the torch from the hooked arm.
This action automatically reactivates the gas flow, allowing the torch to relight and be ready for use immediately. This feature eliminates the need to manually adjust valves or relight the pilot flame, saving time and improving workflow efficiency.

Benefits

The hooked arm feature offers several advantages:

1. Gas Conservation: By automatically shutting off the gas when the torch is not in use, it significantly reduces gas waste.
2. Time Savings: Welders can quickly stop and start their work without the time-consuming process of readjusting valves.
3. Convenience: The system’s simplicity makes it easy to use and integrate into existing welding setups.
4. Cost Reduction: By minimizing gas waste, the economiser helps reduce overall gas consumption, leading to cost savings over time.

This innovative feature makes this Oxygen/Acetylene Gas Economiser a valuable tool for welding professionals seeking to optimize their gas usage and improve their workflow efficiency.
