* While the Aquaflame will produce a flame up to 3300°C, we do not recommend using it without MEK. MEK gives the most stable flame at a temperature of about 1850°C

AquaFlame In Industry

Acrylics

Aquaflame equipment is widely used in the plastic fabrication industry for the flame polishing of transparent thermoplastic acrylic. Acrylic is also known as Plexiglas, Perspex, Poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA, as well as by the trade names Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, Oroglas, Altuglas, Cryolite Optix, and Perspex . After acrylic is cut, lasered or CNC routed there is often the need to add a final polished edge. Aquaflame is ideally suited to achieve this.

View

Dental

Aquaflame machines are often used in dental/medical labs and by orthodontists in construction of dental appliances. Large partial dentures are frequently cast in parts that are soldered together after carefully fitting them to master cast. In orthodontics soldering is used for joining wires, bands springs etc. The soldering process involves the substrate or the parent metals to be joined, soldering filler metal (usually called solder), a flux, and a heat source – in this case the Aquaflame machine. All are equally important and the role of each must be taken in to consideration to solder metal components successfully.

A safer
alternative to gas.

Learn More

Aquaflame is considered a safer alternative to it's competition as it produces gas on demand, meaning there’s no bottled gas.

In addition it is lightweight and portable – there is no heavy lifting as with gas bottles and no H&S issues to deal with internally apart from carrying out a risk assessment.

What can I say about Aquaflame, well I'm a sole trader for 35 years working in the Jewellery trade, I work for several independent Jewellers shops who depend on me to do their repairs, alterations & manufacturing work, as much as the shops depend on me, I depend on my Aquaflame , working 6 or 7 days a week, 10 hours a day, what a great machine it is, I use the 800 Aquaflame, which I have two of, just so I always have a back up for when they get serviced every 2 years!! I don't know what I would do without my Aquaflame machine, a great tool for any jobbing & manufacturing Jeweller, very easy to work with and maintain.

Mark Williams, Jeweller, UK

Aquaflame have been excellent to work with. The equipment they supply as well as the customer service they offer is second to none.

Tom Hughes, Mid West Graphics, Shrewsbury, UK

I’ve had my Aquaflame torch for just over a year now and I don’t know what I ever did without it. It’s my favourite tool in the workshop and makes soldering a dream – I love it. A really friendly company that gave me a great demo before purchasing the torch and always quick to answer my questions – thank you.

Ann Adkins, UK Jeweller

Fantastic machines.. hardly use the oxy gas any more except for big melts. Fast and also very controllable so accurate, I love mine

Ian Day, Jeweller, UK

Happily this is where you came in and provided practical and timely assistance with getting or making my own MEK. Since then the Aquaflame has worked faultlessly. I must say that the aftercare was first class, prompt and practical given that you do not know Singapore that well. I certainly would recommend you and your product to anyone that asked.

Keith Richardson Partner HFW, Singapore

Our Aquaflame system is an integral piece of equipment in a busy Learning and Participation program. We have learners of all abilities using this equipment on a regular basis in our Jewellery Studio. Its highly appropriate for our needs, as the pieces we produce tend to be on a small scale, the precise nature of this tool makes it extremely popular with all of our Tutors and Learners. It is also popular with the Technicians as it is very reliable and easy to maintain.
