Solutions therefore need to be found to optimize the efficiency of your work tools. The design of the Express torch<\/a> is constantly being revised to improve its performance, but you also need to apply other tricks to reduce your energy costs even further.\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Choosing the right Express torch for your needs<\/h2>\nSelecting the right Express torch for your application is your first source of energy savings. Express is developing a wide range of torches so that every professional has a tool to suit his or her needs. You should take into account the nature of the work you do, how often you do it, the time you spend on it, the weather conditions, and so on.\n\nExpress blowtorches come in a multitude of models. The range includes a large number of cartridge welding torches, butane sanitary torches, plumbers’ torches, special plumbing torches, oxyacetylene units for working on large-diameter copper or steel tubes, torches running on propylene gas cartridges that can be used at temperatures as low as -20\u00b0C, etc.\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maintaining your torch<\/h2>\nYour torch needs to be checked to optimise its energy efficiency. Express designs tools that you can maintain yourself, so you can easily replace certain parts.\n\nRegularly check the condition of the various parts of the torch: nozzles, taps, adjusters, etc. A clogged nozzle, for example, disrupts your work and affects your energy consumption. As for the hoses, they must be protected and replaced as soon as they are damaged.\n\nConnection joints should be tested for leaks, which increase your consumption and jeopardize your safety.\n\nIf, despite everything, you think your consumption is too high or you notice an increase, it is advisable to return it for a full examination by the after-sales service.\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Choosing the right type of gas<\/h2>\nIt’s important to choose the right type of gas for the job.\n
