Gem-Pak: Stop Tangling, Start Welding

6/20/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
In the world of industrial welding, efficiency and reliability in wire delivery systems is crucial! Wire spools are typically available in a variety of sizes, but if you’re in the business of something like automotive manufacturing or shipbuilding, where smaller spools would be finished in a second, you may have already swapped to a bulk wire drum system. 

And if you have, then you know that while traditional wire drum systems offer more wire and less downtime replacing spools, they also come with their own frustrating and time-consuming issue: wire tangling. This not only slows down the workflow but also impacts the overall productivity and leads to increased labor costs as workers must spend time untangling or replacing wire.

Thankfully Lincoln Electric has developed a surprisingly simple, yet innovative, solution to address this common challenge: Gem-Pak!

Picture
So what exactly is Lincoln Electric's Gem-Pak and how does it work? It's a bulk wire delivery system that incorporates an ingenious use of glass gems! The irritatingly common tangling issue you see with softer, more pliable materials like aluminum, is easily solved by filling the drum with small glass marble-like gems. This prevents the aluminum wire within the drum from moving around, and that lack of movement means no dreaded tangles!

Lincoln Electric boasts a "Tangle-Free Guarantee" when using the Gem-Pak, underscoring their confidence in this innovative solution. The patented design helps to minimize arc-flaring as well as tip burnback, saving you time and money! Plus, it's designed to integrate seamlessly into existing setups, requiring no additional complex external pay-off systems, making it a good option for any company looking to enhance their welding efficiency.

Benefits of Gem-Pak

Picture
INCREASED PRODUCTION TIME:
Gem-Pak can significantly boost productivity, adding up to 90 minutes of production time per shift, by reducing the interruptions caused by wire tangling and spool changes.


REDUCED REPAIR RATE:
The innovative design leads to a 30% reduction in repair rates, ensuring that welding machines spend more time running and less time being fixed!


CONTACT TIP SAVINGS:
With smoother wire delivery,  users see a 50% reduction in the usage of contact tips, translating into lower ongoing costs.


​SIMPLIFIED DESIGN:
Unlike traditional drums that rely on mechanical spinners and plastic rings that can create resistance and complicate wire feed,  this system allows the wire to travel straight up in one layer, minimizing resistance and potential issues.

Why use GEM-PAK?

The ideal solution for companies that use large quantities of aluminum wire and are looking to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime due to wire tangling. Its innovative design and practical benefits make it a superior alternative to all other traditional wire delivery systems!

If you're ready to revolutionize your welding operations, then contact us today! Don’t let wire tangling slow you down- discover how this innovative solution can significantly boost your productivity! The Gem-Pak is an easy first step towards optimized welding efficiency!
