Australian machine is a viable alternative to pickling paste

Made in Australia by Ensitech, TIG Brush TBE-700 provides a method of cleaning heat tint from stainless steel and aluminium welds and is claimed to be a viable alternative to pickling paste. Its key feature is a revolutionary way of combining electrical heat within a brush to apply non-toxic food-grade cleaning fluid. This is non-hazardous and means that companies can dispense with the expensive and time-consuming protection and disposal procedures they have previously used with pickling paste. The brush's high temperature also simultaneously removes the iron oxide residue produced by the welding process and restores the steel's protective chromium oxide layer – therefore removing the need for a separate passivation process. The newly-launched TBE-700 drives large brushes and works on both stainless steel and aluminium. Operating on 110v/230v with auto-switching, it has a maximum reach with extension cables of 18 metres. The machine comes with a complete starter package of brushes and fluids. For further information telephone 0113 255 8887
