Advantages ASS®- Moulding systems
Shock-forming is a welding preparation method in which oxygen and moisture are displaced by increased gas flow. The ASS®-Prime forming system was specially developed for this technology to ensure an efficient and smooth gas supply and to guarantee welding quality.
The displacement of oxygen and moisture prevents tarnishing and discolouration, resulting in a high-quality weld seam at the root.
The impact moulding method allows significantly faster preparation of the moulding chamber compared to traditional methods.
The ASS®-Prime forming system is developed, designed and manufactured entirely in-house at Holzer. The design, production and provision of spare parts are all carried out in-house, which ensures a high level of quality assurance and rapid availability.

ASS®- Prime
The inflatable forming system ASS®-Prime from Holzer ASS® is a forming system with a modular design that is suitable for a wide range of applications. Through years of experience with the forming systems available on the market, the ASS® -Prime forming system has been further developed to meet the requirements for the best possible absence of tarnish.
ASS®- Opti
Permanently bonded construction for Fast set-up times, 3-lip sealing discs for secure sealing and hold, sintered metal for homogeneous gas distribution. The concept "1 sealing disc → 4 applications" (Opti Flex, Opti Fix, Opti Single, Opti Flange) enables a wide range of applications. The Shock moulding speeds up the rinsing process noticeably here too.
ASS®- Opti M
For Small pipes and Narrow pipe guides. Symmetrical structure (identically designed inlet/outlet) facilitates insertion and positioning; permanently mounted "basic unit" for quick replacement of sealing discs; Sintered metal for smooth gas flow; 3-lip sealing disc for secure hold - even in bends. The system is designed for Shock moulding designed to handle small volumes Very fast conditioning.
ASS®- Pipe plugs
ASS®- Pipe plugs are the favourable alternative to the Holzer ASS®- Forming systems: fast handling, reliable sealing of the pipe ends and targeted shielding gas supply. For pipe inside diameters Ø 9-115 mm, Effective against draughts - available on request as a case set with sealing discs in all sizes. When used with shielding gas fingers, the shielding gas is introduced in a targeted manner.

Pipe weld purging technology
that has grown from practice & experience
It is not only the human condition that has evolved to this day through challenges, experiences and setbacks. Further development in moulding technology has also succeeded on the same basis. Today, we also consider the careful use of resources and sustainability. The influence of experienced, skilled and knowledgeable users must not be forgotten. All of this has been used for innovative moulding technology such as the ASS inflatable moulding system®-Prime from Holzer ASS®.
Influencing factors for tarnish colours
- Residual oxygen content
- Moisture
- Purity of the inert gas
- Surface finish
