Description:
WeldVac, LLC (incorporated June, 2011) owns the patent to an environmentally conscience, semi-green technology to address many of the problems inherent at the point-of-operation with a welding work area. Known as the WeldVac system, it is comprised of an adjustable vacuum and support system to evacuate the particulate matter, smoke, excess gases and molten metal from a TIG welding work area.
Please refer to the following YouTube video for a demonstration of the WeldVac system; the video contrasts the existing arc welding procedures (smoke, sparks, flying debris, etc.) with the advantages of the WeldVac system: (URL removed) . As you will notice, there are significant worker-safety, environment-protecting, and productivity improvement issues addressed by the WeldVac system.
The WeldVac system eliminates debris, gases, smoke and particulate matter at the point of operation; creates a clean, consistent gouge path in preparation for welding plate; removes a weld bead without cutting or grinding; can be used manually or adapted to automation; and easily adapts to existing welding devices.
WeldVac, LLC is currently seeking equity investors to fund the commercial development of the WeldVac system (a working prototype exists).
