Most recently demonstrated at the USA convention in Orlando, Florida, American Beauty Tools’ resistance brazing system (Model 10557-C) which continues to amaze and delight appliance servicers across North America.

American Beauty’s most popular brazing system is its 1,800 Watt system which features three unique output settings easily capable of generating enough heat to flow even the highest silver content brazing alloys.   The system comes complete with two different hand pieces, small and large, to ensure maximum versatility.

The magic of a resistance brazing system is the speed with which the heat to flow the braze alloy is generated.  By design, a low voltage, high amperage user safe current is forced through highly resistive electrodes, generating instantaneous heat.  There is absolutely no flame involved, making the system perfectly suitable for buildings that have restricted the use of torches.  Servicers have found that eliminating the torch from their brazing operations, greatly reduces the amount of thermal damage caused to surrounding components and housings and the associated costs of such damage both in terms of money and reputation.  One final benefit is just how easy the system is to use, reducing time (and frustration) training new employees on the use of a torch.   If you were one of the many folks at the convention that gave the system a test run, you’ll know exactly what we mean.

The specialty transformer that is the heart of the system is encased in a heavy-duty steel enclosure, protecting your investment for years to come.  The system is warrantied from manufacturer defect for three years; however, this is a tool that will pass from technician to technician for years to come.  A convenient carrying compartment is built into the housing to allow for storage of the hand pieces.  The robust nature of the brazing electrodes results in lower overall consumable costs than those associated with torch systems.

United Servicers Association members are eligible to purchase this system which usually retails at $1,675, for the special discounted price of $1,150.  Don’t miss out on this limited time offer to experience what everybody else has been talking about.  Order your American Beauty Resistance Brazing System today at www.americanbeautytools.com/brazing  or call at 800.550.2510.

By Nick Webert, Samsung Regional Technical Trainer

Samsung was a very large presence at the 2013 ASTI/USA Convention held in Orlando, FL on March 6th and 7th.  The convention hosted about 600 technicians and business owners from all over North America.  Samsung held training classes on both laundry and refrigeration products. These classes were taught in four hour sessions, twice each day.

We are pleased to report that there was an enormous demand for Samsung product training and that more techs attended our training classes than the classes of any other manufacturer at the convention.  Samsung trained about 200 techs in those four classes, making many sessions standing room only.  Even with such a large number of attendees in each class, Samsung’s training surveys came back with the highest marks of the convention.

Samsung would like to thank all those who have attended our classes over the last couple of years for helping us sculpt our training skills.  Without your attendance and comments, we could have never raised our training skills to this level.  These skills resulted in Samsung receiving the ASTI/USA Partner award.  So when I say thank you, I also mean congratulations!  “Why congratulations?” you ask. Because you are part of the Samsung team, so the award belongs to you as much as us.

The ASTI Partner Award is bestowed on companies for excellence in technical and administrative training and for supporting ASTI/USA through information sharing and relationship building.   Samsung’s support has helped ASTI/USA grow into the largest appliance servicer organization in North America.
