The MSSA Pneumatic Tungsten Feeders are used for hard-facing with Tungsten Carbide. A tungsten grit application can prolong the life of a component by 3 to 5 times (depending on the application) which can make a substantial difference to running costs. Ground-engaging tools and equipment used in construction, excavation and earth-moving, are commonly associated with the tungsten hard-facing process.
The Tungsten Feeders come complete with funnel, work bench etc. (everything needed to get you operational except for the welding equipment). An air driven vibrator consistently feeds the tungsten fragments to your MIG torch. To ensure air supply is constant, the feeder has a special fine tuning control after the air gauge to make sure the air pressure to vibrator is maintained. Less than 25cfm is required for operation.

Features
- Any Tungsten not welded to the component falls into the detachable compartment which enables the fragments to be recycled.
- This provides a cost saving benefit over other particular Tungsten applicators.
- An air driven vibrator consistently feeds the tungsten fragments to your MIG torch.
- To ensure air supply is constant, the feeder has a special fine tuning control after the air gauge to make sure the air pressure to the vibrator is maintained.
- Tungsten feed tube’s angle can be adjusted to suit application and equipment requirements.
- Can be regulated to allow the correct flow to be established.
- Complete with funnel, work bench etc. (everything needed to get you operational except for the welding equipment).
- Foot pedal operates the feed of the Tungsten as soon as the switch is operated.
- Pneumatically powered (No electrical components i.e. Printed circuit boards etc).
Electric tungsten grit feeders tend to have a delay whilst power is being established – giving an approx. 12-13mm of weld deposit before the introduction of the Tungsten.
Applications
A tungsten grit application can prolong the life of a component by 3 to 5 times (depending on the application) which can make a substantial difference to running costs.
Ground-engaging tools and equipment used in construction, excavation and earth-moving, is commonly associated with the tungsten hard-facing process. Ground engaging blades/teeth and ripper points on dozers and cat trucks are just some of the numerous applications that this process is used on.
When painted components are subject to hard-facing, the application area is often grit-blasted initially in order to provide a better surface for the tungsten to bind to.
