KempGouge – Carbon arc gouging machine
KempGouge ARC 800 brings productivity and mobility to gouging work.
Fast and effective
Way to remove defects, back gouge the root, cut metal and pierce holes
Easy way
Easy to move the equipment and adjust the gouging current
KempGouge for gouging
KempGouge offers 800 amps of gouging power with a 50% duty cycle. The characteristics curve is specifically designed for carbon arc gouging, so gouging properties are optimized and noise levels kept very low. KempGouge lets you open roots or faulty welds, prepare welding grooves, cut metals, pierce holes, clean casts, and remove excess metal.
KempGouge ARC 800 gives productivity and convenience to gouging work. When equipped with the optional R10 remote control unit, gouging current adjustment can be made directly from the work site, removing the need to move between the workpiece and the power source. The carbon arc gouging electrode holder GT4000 is designed for use with the KempGouge and suits either round or flat electrodes. The air pressure used for gouging can be adjusted via the control mounted on the holder.
The package includes a power source, control panel, and transport unit for easy mobility.

Making weld cleaning easy and cost-efficient
Welding is all around us. It binds together the metals to build structures essential to our everyday lives. However, beyond the visible sparks and strong connections, there's an aspect often underestimated: weld cleaning. Especially with stainless steels, proper weld cleaning not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the weld but also ensures its strength, durability, and overall quality.

How to weld aluminum
Some metals, like aluminum, have a naturally occurring, tough surface oxide layer. That surface oxide layer must be removed to enable successful welding. In the case of aluminum alloys, the surface oxide layer has a significantly higher melting temperature (approximately 2000°C) than the melting temperature of the aluminum base material (660°C).
