The MHI Airtorch™ and Plasma Airtorch™, were developed to improve material manufacturing by offering a lower-cost, energy efficient, more environmentally friendly alternative to typically used conventional heat sources.

This new type of forced air convention system uses a special class of elements to heat ambient air and direct that heated air towards a surface or into a chamber. Depending on the model, our Airtorch™ system can achieve temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1500°C (2732°F) with infinitely variable volume flow rates and no harmful emissions, providing a beneficial new method of heating.

The use of Airtorches™ may be classified into 3 major categories:

Direct Impingement. High temperature direct heating, surface ignition, surface processing, chemcial processing etc.	Gas Preheating. Preheat inert gases for a variety of applications. Call MHI for more information. Sealed models like the MTA and MVTA are available.	Retrofit/Upgrading. Use the Airtorch™ with existing furnace technology infra-red, gas, radiant to improve uniformity and furnace efficiency.	Use steam. Call MHI for steam or steam combinations as required.
