TorchBay Station service
Regular care keeps your TorchBay Station safe and ready for work. Good daily habits, quick checks and simple fixes help prevent downtime in any busy bay.
Routine care for your TorchBay Station
A clean, well-maintained cutting bay is safer and works better. Stick to a regular care routine and you will catch most issues before they become risks or slow you down.
Get your team into the habit of checking and cleaning the station before and after every shift. Take five minutes each week to run through the basics. Once a month, inspect everything closely and replace any parts showing wear.
- Daily: Wipe down torch handles, check hose reels retract, sweep up hot slag and dust.
- Weekly: Inspect hoses for cuts, burns or stiff spots. Make sure no gas leaks at fittings.
- Monthly: Check cylinder chains, flashback arrestors and tip racks. Clean PPE hooks and safety signs.
Signs your station needs attention
If you notice loose hoses, leaking gas, or torches that hiss or cut unevenly, stop work and check the basics. Strange smells, burnt hose rubber or flickering pilot flames all mean something is wrong.
Start by checking the cylinder valves, hose reels and all connections for leaks or wear. Look for melted, cracked or blackened fittings. Make sure flashback arrestors are fitted and clear. If in doubt, isolate the gas supply until you know it is safe.
