Mexico. Uniweld Products held seminars in the Mexican cities of Cancun on February 28; Merida, on March 1, and Villahermosa, on March 2. The training focused on new welding technologies for HVAC/R systems and emphasized safety.
HVAC/R technicians attended the three-day seminars where Uniweld collaborated with host Refrimart de México S.A. de C.V., the brand's authorized distributor in the southeastern region of Mexico. Refrimart distributes Uniweld products through its 20 branches and is headquartered in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.
Mario Portillo, International Sales Executive for Latin America and the Caribbean, led Uniweld's training session focusing heavily on the features and advantages of the HVAC/R tools uniweld manufactures at its Fort Lauderdale plant: "HVAC/R technicians can choose from a multitude of brands, and while many may look alike, it's important to understand the features and benefits Uniweld offers in its products. Uniweld's tools bring added value and performance to the work of technicians."
Uniweld's NitroVue nitrogen flow indicator, EZ Turn anti-lock hoses and Cap'n Hook tips were among Uniweld's featured products. The flow indicator provides a solution for purging and welding systems. It is an easy-to-read flow indicator that provides complete control over the flow of nitrogen gas during brazing of copper tubes in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The anti-lock hose has a thrust bearing that reduces friction, so the service hose can easily be connected to the access connection while under pressure. The compact design fits tight workspaces. Attendees appreciated the true benefit the adapter provides by not leaking coolant and preventing finger burns. Cap'n Hook flame tips have been designed to have multiple simultaneous flames, providing 100% heat distribution around the copper tube when welding. Models are available for welding up to 1", 2" and 3" copper tubes.
