Thanks. it sounds like you know a bit about my system but let me just say it's designed for high oxygen use, generating up to 60 liters per minute or more at 95 psi. in my test Studio I'm able to power a GTT Mirage or a Carlisle cc with only 3 PSA machines. I use the sequel machines. my system digitally controls the PSA machines and compresses the oxygen they generate, turnining them on when ltank pressure drops below 50 and turning them off when tank pressure reaches 95.

How much power does it use? I have heard of systems like these tripping breakers a lot...

How loud is it? I know I dont like something super loud while I work?

What kind of advantages does it have over say an onsite pro 8?

What kind of price range are you looking it? I think a short video would do you a lot of good as to showing its capabilities.

I would be interested in such a system but only if I knew more about you and your company and its history. Posting your name and a website or other marketing material would be a good start.

Check out the High Volume Oxygen page on facebook. I see a lot of people looking for solutions to the high cost of oxygen. I've got a system that will run the bigger torches and pay for itself in 1 to 2 years for big oxygen users. Feel free to write to me and ask questions.

This is the hot tip! I have been filling my own K tanks for a while now. I have 2 tanks. I run a Mirage and fill one tank while using the other. I bought my Homefill system used for under $500 and the whip setup was another $95. They wouldn't deliver LOX to my location so I fill my own. Electricity cost per tank (from empty to 2000lbs) is about $4.00.

again i think your confused and you have 5 compressed oxy tanks and your getting your terminology mixed up.

what do your tanks look like? that should go a long way towards clearing this up because again, noboday needs 5 lox tanks for a minor burner.
Read his post again. here is a part of what he said:


"I made a manifold to put 5 LOX tanks together thinking I would need that much and found out all I needed was 1."

The Homefills can be had way way cheap if you find the right deal. You have to keep your eye on criegs list. I bought one the other day and it had the concentrator with it. The guy who was using it had died a few weeks before so his roomie was selling it. I paid $300 for the whole thing.

Have you looked into the High Volume Oxygen system. Full disclosure -- i'm the creator, but I'm also a lampworker. contact me if you're interested in learning about it.

i'll bet your system is good as all get out, but for $800 you can get a homefill w/oxycon and whip.....

i'd love one of your systems, as even a homefill is a pain the ass for me, but i just can't swing the cash, and i think people are daunted at that kind of price tag.

please understand, i'm not saying it's not worth it, it probably is, but when compared to small oxycon systems it's way more $.

then again, those who run big torches probably have more use for your system, as small oxycons only go so far.

i'm sure if i had a mirage, or a kobuki (something that can drain a k in a day) your system would kick ass.
