Portable, Efficient and Safe Onsite Welding

As a distributor and user of the H20 Weld Gas Generators, we understand the need for efficient and environmentally safe soldering and welding at hydro locations. The H20 Weld machine produces a neutral and concentrated flame for high quality and accurate welds. Powered by distilled water, the H20 Weld Generator has no risk of explosion and doesn’t present any harmful substances.

The combustion of hydrogen and oxygen produces water vapor, with no C02 emissions.

The operator doesn’t need to wear special glasses.

Hydrogen and oxygen are premixed and the flame is perfectly regulated.
