DAVCO SUPACUT

Savings

SUPACUT’S SAVES $$$$$

Liquid Fuel costs a fraction of what gaseous fuels cost.

The use of liquid fuels with the DAVCO system has LARGE financial advantages dramatically slashing fuel costs. Operators with DAVCO can anticipate all day continuous cutting with only one or two gallons of liquid fuel. A cost of about $8.00. Compared to acetylene, which requires a 250 cubic foot cylinder for the same amount of operating time and will cost around $230.00.  Saving and recovery of investment cost begins immediately. As for less expensive oxy-fuels, like propane, fuel cost savings are still significantly lower when using Gasoline.  Additionally gasoline cutting uses about  30% less in oxygen compared to using propane.
