LPG GAS BOTTLES 6KG

The manufacture of LPG cylinders involves several distinct stages, including cutting, forming, welding and painting.

Throughout the manufacturing process, the gas cylinders undergo numerous checks. These cover aspects such as welds, valve attachment, leak-tightness, tightening torque, and resistance to impact, drops, bending and various forms of handling. The aim is to eliminate any items with potential defects that could compromise their use or the safety of users.

The products manufactured by PROGAZ are 6 kg and 12.5 kg cylinders. These are manufactured in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements, alongside the specific expectations of each customer (graphic guidelines, etc.).
