Racor Offers Literature

On Its New Spin-On Fuel

Filter/Water Separator

Racor Industries, Inc. of Modesto,

Calif., has literature available on the company's new Spin-On Fuel Filter/

Water Separator which the compa- ny says achieves levels of water sep- aration and particulate removal that previously required two or three separate units.

Under the heading "One Head Is

Better Than Three," the literature, illustrated with color photographs, explains that the key component of the Racor Spin-On Fuel Filter/

Water Separator is one die-cast alu- minum head, now being OEM in- stalled as standard equipment. The head accommodates one of three spin-on filter options: Filter Type I provides vacuum or pressure side high-capacity solids removal with water sump; Filter Type II is a vacu- um side dual-media element that optimizes water and particulates re- moval down to two microns; and Fil- ter type III is a pressure side ele- ment with four distinct media that capture particulates while coales- cing and separating emulsified water. Filter Types II and III are installed with a clear impact-resis- tant collection bowl or metal bowl for severe conditions.

Racor says that when two or three fuel filters (primary, secondary and water separator) are replaced by one, manufacturing costs are dra- matically reduced and at the same time, the new system gives users flexibility through a series of up- gradable spin-on filters and accesso- ries that will meet their filtration needs in any application. Standard features include primer pump, check ball, bleed vent and dual out- let ports for ease of installation. For cold weather starting and running, an electrical in-filter heater is an optional feature. Water sensor indi- cators may also be specified.

Airco Introduces New

Pulsed Welding Systems — Literature Available

Airco Welding Products has an- nounced the introduction of the newest member of its family of

Pulse Arc™ welding systems for pulsed spray transfer welding. The

Pulse Arc 500 system, like the

Pulse Arc 350 model, is designed around the pulsed spray process.

The process allows for spatter-free welding and excellent arc control in applications ranging from high deposition out-of-position welding on thick plate to smooth, low-dis- tortion welding on thin gauge materials.

The Pulse Arc 500 system has the power to handle large diame- ter cored wires up to 3/32 inch and can pulse Metal-Cor® 6 wire for high deposition rates. The system also has exceptional smaller di- ameter performance characteris-

The fully inte- grated machine takes the nor- mally complex engineering re- quirements of pulsed spray welding and translates them into a few simple pushbutton functions—at a price comparable to a standard

MIG package.

The pushbuttons and toggle switches allow the operator to se- lect among pulse, spray and dip transfer processes. He then presses the appropriate switches for the required wire diameter and shield- ing gas, and he's ready to go. A single knob on the remote pendant simultaneously sets welding cur- rent, voltage, wire feed speed, and pulse frequency. The advanced solid-state circuitry automatically controls all parameters.

The system is pre-programmed for stainless and mild steels, but other wires, such as silicon bronze and aluminum can be used by re- ferring to the easy-to-read process selector charts. The Pulse Arc 500 system is well suited for plants where one machine is needed to perform several welding operations.
