What is oxygen lancing?

A thermal lance, thermic lance, oxygen lance, or burning bar is a tool that heats and melts steel or concrete in the presence of pressurized oxygen to create very high temperatures for cutting. It consists of a long steel tube packed with alloy steel rods, sometimes mixed with aluminium rods to increase the heat output. You also get Hollow Oxygen pipes. One end of the tube is placed in a holder and oxygen is fed through the tube.

The far end of the tube is pre-heated and lit by an oxyacetylene torch or other flame source. An intense stream of burning steel is produced at the working end and can be used to cut rapidly through thick materials, including steel and concrete. The tube is consumed by the process within a few minutes.

Often used as a heavy duty demolition tool, the thermic lance is also used to remove seized axles of heavy machinery without damaging the bearings or axle housing. This technique is often used on the pins and axles of large equipment such as cranes, ships, bridges, and sluice-gates.

The temperature at which a thermal lance operates varies depending on the environment. Maximum temperature vary from 4500 °C to 2730 °C . wiki

Material and Metal Cutting:

Our heavy duty Thermal Wire pack Oxygen Lances can cut metallic (steel, stainless steel, high nickel alloys, copper and bronze alloys, aluminum, manganese and shielding steels and any type of alloy) or non-metallic ones (ceramic, concrete, refractory bricks etc.); in short, this thermal lance can cut or pierce any known material.

We are a proudly South African manufacturing company with 30 years of quality service and Heavy Duty Products we manufacture locally like our: Oxygen Lance Pipes and Thermal Wire pack cutting lances have been trust by industry.
