Congratulations
FLAME ENGINEERING, INC. and its Employees on another Safety
Milestone!
Flame Engineering employees bring a passion for safety to
work everyday. This is perhaps the greatest reason for our
enduring success and our celebration of 8 Years With
No Loss Time Accidents. A safe work environment helps
Flame Engineering operate more efficiently and retain dedicated
employees.
Flame Engineering is currently certified in OSHA’s Safety
& Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP.) This
prestigious certification was first achieved in October 2000
and is currently recognized into 2011. |
In the mid 1950's, Ralph C. Pivonka and his
son, Mike, designed a propane torch for burning weeds and brush
on their Kansas family farm. As word spread about their flaming
equipment, Ralph and Mike found themselves building more and more
torches to satisfy a growing local demand. The Pivonkas soon out
grew their farm workshop and went into full production establishing
the company known as Flame Engineering, Inc., which now has expanded
into national and international markets with the popular Red Dragon
product line.
Over the years Flame Engineering, Inc. has been recognized for
achievements in the LP Gas industry. The development of liquid
spray flaming, a unique patented process, attained wide spread
acceptance as a method of controlling weeds and insects on farm
lands. The Red Dragon Engine Preheater was developed especially
for Alaskan bush pilots who required a compact, portable preheater
for starting their aircraft engines in the frigid northern climates.
In the early 1980's, at the suggestion of several customers, Flame
Engineering introduced the Red Dragon line of Roofing Torches
specifically designed to satisfy the needs of professional roofers
applying modified bitumen. The superior quality of the Red Dragon
line was quickly recognized by contractors and is now the preferred
choice throughout North America. Flame Engineering continues to
expand the roofing line with wagons, roof dryers, seam finishers,
cylinder dollies, spud bars, and accessories.
In addition, Flame Engineering was the first manufacturer to help
the American Gas Association and Canadian Gas Association Certification
write a standard for hand held, LP torches, used with a remote
fuel supply.
In recent years, Flame Engineering, Inc. has developed an entire
line of outdoor leisure products including Patio Lights and the
Weed Dragon® Torch. In addition, it has expanded the agricultural
flaming line with the development of the Red Dragon Alfalfa, Row
Crop, Berm Flamers and Poultry House Sanitizer. This diversity
has allowed the company to grow regardless of market highs and
lows.
From a single torch, developed for use on the family farm, Flame
Engineering, Inc. has expanded its product line to over 100 items.
We invite you to Contact
