Flux Recovery
The welding head assembly includes a flux belt mechanism for necessary flux recycling.
The flux belt is made of a heat resistant latex belt that can tolerate up to
250 degree C (480 F) of heat. The belt is mounted on two 6'' (150mm)
diameter rollers, which can be adjusted and positioned by the flux belt
assembly hand wheel.
The welding flux that falls on the
flux belt is extracted by the suc-
tion hose and is returned to the
flux hopper 176 lbs. (80kg ca-
pacity) mounted on the platform.
The suction force is created by a 1400W cylindrical vacuum. A manual
valve is applied between the vacuum and flux recovery system for
necessary vacuum force adjustment.
Heavy Duty Blower Type Vacuum / Filter System
(OPTIONAL)
The Bug-o All Time BGW may be equipped with a heavy duty blower
type vacuum for multi shifts continuous operation. Such vacuum sys-
tems can be configured as follows to suitable various operation re-
quirements:
(a) Separator / Filter mounted on top of the operator platform.
(b) Separator / Filter mounted on frame roof (vacuum system would
move upward along with the roof and drive section of the BGW).
Electrical Cabinet & Power Supply Storage.
The electrical cabinet of the girth welder is inside the power source
storage. It consists of a main circuit breaker at the left to receive the
local 3 phase input (380V / 3ph/ 60Hz as standard) and distribute it to
the power supply and the step down transformer, which in turn steps
down the voltage to 220VAC single phase to the secondary circuit
breaker.
The single phase 220VAC is required by the master control and all
electrical accessories supported by the girth welder.
