APS Welding offers heavy duty and reliable carbon arc gouging machines ranging from 600A to 1200A with duty cycle ranging from 60% to 100%. The arc characteristics are optimized specially for gouging application ensuring the welder gets the brute force form the power source. APS Gouging machines lets you open root or faulty welds, prepare welding grooves, cut metals, make holes, clean castings, remove excess metal.
Ensuring simplicity in operation, yet having advanced features like Arc Force, Hot Start, Voltage Reduction Device for safety. Internal protections from Over Current, Input power fluctuations, Phase loss, Over temperatures make the machine reliable and rugged. Remote facility gives additional ease of operation for the welder, wherein he can set the current from his workplace and need not move back and forth to the machine in order to set parameter.
IGBT Inverter delivers high current and yet consumes upto 60% less power compared to conventional gouging machines. These high frequency inverter also weigh less and are easy to transport compared to traditional machines.
When it comes to metal fabrication and welding applications, Gouging Machines play a critical role in removing defective welds, preparing joints, and cleaning surfaces. Known for their heavy-duty performance and reliability, APS Welding’s Gouging Machines are trusted across industries like shipbuilding, construction, railways, and heavy fabrication workshops.
In this blog, we’ll cover what a gouging machine is, why it’s used, and why APS Heavy Duty Gouging Machines are the right choice for your business.
A gouging machine is specialized equipment designed to remove metal by melting and blowing it away with a high-velocity air jet. This process, often referred to as Air Carbon Arc Gouging (CAC-A), is widely used to:
Remove defective welds
Prepare grooves for welding
Clean casting surfaces
Modify or repair metal structures
Unlike traditional grinding, gouging machines are faster, cleaner, and more efficient, making them a must-have tool in heavy industries.
When working on thick metals and high-strength materials, only a heavy-duty gouging machine can deliver consistent performance. Here’s why industries prefer them:
✅ Reliability – Designed to withstand continuous heavy-load operations
✅ Durability – Built with robust components for long service life
✅ Efficiency – Faster metal removal than grinding or chipping
✅ Versatility – Suitable for steel, stainless steel, and cast iron
✅ Cost-Effective – Saves time and reduces labor costs
