In offshore and oil and gas industries, safety, reliability, and performance are essential. Cengar pneumatic air saws deliver all three. Built in the UK and trusted worldwide, they are ATEX-approved for use in hazardous areas where electric or battery tools cannot be used.
Cengar air saws offer precise, fast, and cold cutting solutions for pipelines, steel structures, and maintenance work on platforms and refineries. With models engineered for different applications, they combine power, control, and safety for professional use in the toughest environments.
Why Pneumatic Air Saws Are Essential Offshore
In environments where explosive gases or vapours may be present, pneumatic saws are the safest and most dependable cutting solution. Powered by compressed air, they remove the ignition risks associated with electric or battery-driven tools while maintaining full cutting performance.
Each Cengar air saw is designed for cold cutting, eliminating the need for a hot work permit. Their durable construction and low air consumption make them ideal for confined and high-risk areas found on rigs, refineries, and vessels.
Cengar PL905 – Reliable and Versatile
The PL905 and PL905FT models are low vibration, fast-cutting pneumatic saws designed for versatility. They cut pipes up to 100mm (4”) in diameter, as well as sections, bolts, conduits, cables, and GRP up to 50mm thick.
Operators can choose between an outside rear trigger (PL905) or inside front trigger (PL905FT) for optimal control. Both are ATEX approved (CE EX II 2G Ex h IIC T2 Gb), making them suitable for use in oil, petrochemical, and shipbuilding sectors.
Cold cutting ensures safe use without a hot work permit, while their compact, low vibration design enhances comfort and control. Each saw comes in a carry case with sample blades and oil for immediate operation.
Cengar CL75 – Robust and Adaptable
The CL75 and CL75FT air saws cut all types of steel sections and pipe up to 150mm (6”) diameter. They can be used freehand or mounted with a clamp for heavy-duty cutting.
Both models are ATEX approved (CE EX II 2G Ex h IIC T3 Gb) and are suitable for use in hazardous zones where pneumatic power is essential. The CL75 is powerful, quiet, and built for continuous industrial use, delivering precise, cold cuts across multiple applications, including fabrication and ship repair.
Supplied in a carry case with sample blades and oil, it supports Cengar MB Blue Blades (150–300mm, 10/14–24 tpi) for a wide range of materials.
Cengar CS75 – More Power for Demanding Cuts
The CS75 offers 20% more power than the CL75 thanks to its piston configuration. Designed for cutting stainless steel and other hard materials, it delivers strong performance in tough conditions.
This model cuts pipe and steel sections up to 150mm (6”) diameter, either freehand or mounted on a clamp with a blade guide for straight cuts. Like all Cengar saws, it supports cold cutting and is ATEX approved (CE EX II 2G Ex h IIC T3 Gb).
It comes complete with a clamp, sample blades, and oil, providing immediate readiness for offshore maintenance and fabrication work.
Cengar JSZ – Precision and Performance at Scale
The JSZ pneumatic saw is built for heavy-duty cutting of pipes and steel sections up to 300mm (12”) diameter. It includes a pipe and profile clamp and blade guide, ensuring clean, straight cuts.
Used widely in oil, petrochemical, and pipe fabrication industries, the JSZ eliminates hand-arm vibration issues when used mounted. Its dual-speed function provides flexibility, while automatic lubrication enhances durability and smooth operation.
The JSZ is ATEX approved (CE EX II 2G Ex h IIC T3 Gb), and supports Cengar MJ Grey Blades (300–450mm, 6–14 tpi) for large-scale industrial cutting tasks.
Built for Global Industry Standards
Cengar pneumatic saws are designed for high performance, safety, and reliability across the oil, gas, and offshore sectors. Each model is manufactured in the UK, engineered for low vibration, low noise, and long-term durability.
Every saw is supplied with blades, oil, and a carry case, ready for use upon delivery. They are supported worldwide through Cengar’s global distributor network, ensuring consistent availability of saws, spare parts, and accessories.
