AQUAFLAME IN JEWELLERY

From independent boutiques to retail repair departments to large-scale jewellery manufacturers, Aquaflame is the ultimate workshop companion. They are widely used by independent jewellers, manufacturing jewellers, and repair departments.

Aquaflame is a powerful, versatile machine that handles every precision soldering job across all precious metals. Beyond assembly, it easily manages annealing and small-scale melting of scrap metal for recycling. Upgrade your workshop efficiency with one dependable tool.

KEY APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS

  • Stone-Set Ring Resizing: Focuses localised heat so precisely that you can resize a shank right next to heat-sensitive gemstones without risking thermal shock or cracking the stones.
  • Micro-Chain Repairs: Easily repairs ultra-fine, 1mm lightweight chains without accidentally melting adjacent links or moving mechanisms like lobster clasps or bolt rings.
  • Claw Re-tipping: Directly targets worn down claws or prongs with a needle-point flame, removing the need to unset certain stones. Always check your stones can survive some heat without damage.
  • Delicate Filigree Assembly: Seamlessly fuses complex, whisper-thin wirework without overwhelming the piece with excess solder or overheating the design.
  • Localised Heat Control: The ultra-targeted flame limits the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ), ensuring the surrounding metal stays cool, structurally sound, and free from warping.
  • Elimination of Fire Scale: Because the gas burns completely clean (using distilled water and a booster agent like MEK), it reduces the oxidation and fire scale that traditional torches cause on silver and gold.
  • Perfect Solder Flow: Micro-flames heat joints rapidly and evenly, allowing capillary action to pull solder smoothly into flush joints for an invisible, seamless bond.
  • Minimal Post-Processing: Cleaner solder joints mean drastically reduced clean-up time—saving hours of filing, pickling, and polishing down excess solder blobs.

SAFETY & WORKSHOP EFFICIENCY

No Pressurised Gas Cylinders: It generates gas completely on-demand from water, eliminating dangerous, heavy, and highly regulated bottled gas tanks from the workshop.

Micro-Nozzle Interchangeability: Operators can instantly swap torch tips (e.g., from sizes 18 down to 25) to shift seamlessly from soldering larger thicker pieces of jewellery to soldering small chains or jewellery repairs.

Heat Capability: Capable of hitting extreme flame temperatures up to 1850°C using MEK in the booster or 1200°C using Acetone in the booster, making it a massive asset for workshops. Aquaflame only ever recommends MEK or Acetone to use as a flame coolant in the Aquaflame.

Mastering the Art of Micro-Soldering

Precision is everything when working with precious metals. Aquaflame systems deliver a pinpoint, high-temperature flame that isolates heat exactly where it is needed. This minimal heat-affected zone allows you to execute delicate tasks—like sizing stone-set rings, re-tipping worn claws, or repairing micro-chains—without risking damage to nearby gems or fine components.

Because the hydrogen-oxygen mix burns flawlessly clean, you completely bypass the heavy fire scale and messy cleanup associated with traditional torches. Upgrade to a safer, cylinder-free workshop and achieve seamless, structurally superior joints on everything from silver filigree to lightweight platinum shanks.
