Furnaces for welding consumables
The 2SPT Welding Powder Dryer, the PETS Powder and Electrode Drying Cabinet and the ETK Electrode Drying Quiver are used for reliable drying of electrodes and/or welding powder. This creates the prerequisite for clean and mechanically loadable welding seams.
Drying furnaces for welding flux and electrodes
Welding often results in inferior welds and costly rework becomes necessary. Electrodes and welding fluxes are hygroscopic; they absorb moisture from the air even when the open package is stored for a short time and subsequently tend to form pores during welding. If their original welding quality is to be restored, they must be dried precisely and kept dry.
HOFMANN offers three different models of dryers for this purpose:
- Model 2 SPT, a 2-chamber welding powder dryer.
- Model PETS, a powder and electrode drying oven
- Model ETK, a portable electrode drying oven
Optimal dryers for welding consumables
Which device is the best choice for your company depends on your individual requirements. The experts from HOFMANN in the Linz area will be happy to advise you on site on your questions about welding powder dryers, powder and electrode drying cabinets, and portable electrode drying quivers.
Features
- For drying and keeping dry damp welding electrodes, as well as damp welding powder.
- Design as powder dryer, drying cabinet or portable drying quiver
- Direct removal of the dried welding powder at the powder dryer

Welding powder dryer 2SPT:
The 2SPT model is ideally designed for drying welding flux. The best drying results are achieved through the two-chamber system.
The powder is dried in the upper chamber (up to 400°C). Automatic locking of the furnace lid and slide ensures that the furnace remains closed during the drying process and that premature filling of still moist welding powder is prevented. This guarantees the highest possible process reliability.
In the lower chamber (up to 250°C), the charge is kept dry and is available for removal. Particular attention has been paid to stable industrial design and maximum ease of maintenance. The heating device is constructed with CrNi steel heating tubes, and a low surface load prevents caking of the welding flux. Temperature programs can be preset and stored for the drying chamber.

Powder and electrodes drying oven PETS:
The PETS is not only an ideal dryer for electrodes and welding flux, but is also excellent for preheating weldments. Perforated trays are used for drying the electrodes, and cups are inserted into the furnace for the welding flux. A cross air flow is generated by the built-in fan unit, thus high temperature accuracies and best drying results can be achieved. The circulated air absorbs the moisture from the charge and is discharged to the outside via ducts and air flaps.

Electrodry quiver ETK:
Of the portable electrode drying quivers, the ETK/200 keeps smaller quantities of electrodes dry. The ETK/300 can also be used for drying. For particularly high thermal requirements and resistance to aggressive gases, there are those made of CrNi steel instead of the painted version. The quivers are offered in 2 sizes and 2 designs (round, square).
