Dear Patrick Bradshaw,
We hope this letter finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for the enlightening and impactful tech talk you delivered recently on HomeFill systems and oxygen concentrators. Your expertise and passion were truly evident throughout the presentation, and it left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
Your deep knowledge of the intricacies involved in HomeFill systems and oxygen concentrators was both impressive and invaluable. It was clear that your dedication to understanding these technologies inside-out stems not only from professional expertise but also from a genuine desire to serve your customers to the best of your abilities. The insights you shared about the functionalities, maintenance tips, and the latest advancements were incredibly enlightening and will undoubtedly benefit many individuals, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
Moreover, your passion for your small business and commitment to excellence were palpable. Your enthusiasm in describing how these systems can significantly impact the lives of those in need of oxygen was truly inspiring. It was evident that you don't just see your work as a job but as a mission to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Your dedication to ensuring that your customers receive not only the best products but also the necessary support and care they deserve was truly commendable.
In a world where technology can sometimes feel impersonal, your emphasis on the human aspect—your genuine care and empathy for those who rely on these devices—was refreshing and deeply moving. Your talk didn't just educate; it also reminded us of the importance of compassion and understanding in the tech industry, especially in fields as critical as medical devices.
Thank you once again, Patrick, for sharing your time, knowledge, and passion with us. Your tech talk was not just informative but also a testament to your commitment to making a positive impact. We look forward to the possibility of attending more of your talks in the future and continuing to learn from your expertise.
Wishing you continued success in your endeavors.

Oxygen Generators for Glass Production
An oxygen concentrator is an on-site oxygen generator. It draws in room air, removes the nitrogen, and delivers concentrated oxygen to your torch, so your studio makes its own oxygen instead of depending on tank rentals and refill deliveries. For many lampworkers and small glass studios, a single 10 LPM concentrator is the oxygen generator that runs the torch.
For larger production work, studios build a complete oxygen generation system: multiple concentrators combined for more flow (HVLP), or a concentrator and HomeFill that fill oxygen cylinders for torches that need higher pressure (HPLV). Tell us your torch, flame size, and production schedule, and we will help you size the right oxygen generator setup.
Wondering whether generating your own oxygen pays off? Compare it with tank deliveries using our tanks vs. concentrator cost calculator.
Choosing the Right Oxygen System for Lampworking
Glass artists commonly use one of three oxygen setups: direct delivery, HPLV, and HVLP. Here is a quick overview of each. For deeper technical details, see our dedicated guide.
Direct delivery
A concentrator feeds oxygen directly to a smaller torch. This is often the simplest starting point for bead work, small soft glass work, and lower oxygen demand applications.
View direct delivery optionsHPLV systems
High pressure, low volume systems use oxygen compression and storage for artists who want tank based work time with oxygen generated from a concentrator and HomeFill style system.

High volume, low pressure systems may use multiple concentrators with oxygen storage for heavier daily studio use. These setups require careful planning and safety awareness.

How many concentrators does my torch need?

Shop Our 10 LPM Oxygen Concentrators
For many lampworking and glassblowing setups, a 10 LPM oxygen concentrator is a stronger starting point than a 5 LPM unit because it provides more oxygen capacity and more room to grow. If your torch demand is higher than one concentrator can support, Bradshaw Oxygen can help you decide whether multiple concentrators, oxygen tanks, a HomeFill system, or another setup makes more sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which oxygen concentrator should I buy for lampworking?
For many small and moderate torch setups, a reconditioned 10 LPM oxygen concentrator is the best starting point. The right choice depends on your torch model, oxygen demand, work style, and whether you plan to expand later. If you are unsure, contact Bradshaw Oxygen before ordering.
Should I buy new or reconditioned?
Reconditioned oxygen concentrators are a strong value for many glassblowers because they cost less than new equipment while still being professionally rebuilt, tested, and supported by Bradshaw Oxygen. New equipment may be preferred when you want a brand new unit, manufacturer support, or a specific authorized reseller option.
Do I need one concentrator or more than one?
Some smaller torches can work well with one 10 LPM concentrator. Larger torches, bigger flame settings, production work, and borosilicate work may require multiple concentrators, compressed oxygen, or an oxygen storage system. Our technical guide can help you compare torch demand before buying.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. Bradshaw Oxygen ships oxygen concentrators and related equipment nationwide. If you need help choosing the best unit before checkout, call or text us.
