  • AUTOMATIC TORCH FLUXING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20130043296
    Abstract: An automatic torch fluxing apparatus is provided and includes a supply of fuel, a flux container formed to define a reservoir of non-corrosive flux for aluminum brazing, the reservoir being receptive of the fuel whereby the fuel and the flux form a fuel/flux mixture and a torch to which the fuel/flux mixture is deliverable, the torch being configured to ignite the fuel in the fuel/flux mixture to form a flux enriched flame.
