Hypertherm Plasma Cutter Features and Benefits

Cut metal quickly and cleanly

Plasma is created when gas is ionized by electrical energy. In Powermax systems, its intense heat (up to 22,000° C) is used to melt metal. Compressed air or nitrogen blows the molten metal away, leaving a clean edge that’s ready to weld in most cases.

Cut or gouge any electrically conductive metal

Whether in a shop, factory, at home, or in the field, Powermax systems cut and gouge all metal types and forms. Most Powermax models are available with a handheld or machine torch exactly tailored to your application.

Powermax advantages:

• Best performance in its class
• State-of-the-art consumable technology delivers faster speeds and better cut quality to help you get more done in less time
• High portability, simple controls and a stable plasma arc make Powermax systems easy to operate, even for beginners
• Long consumable life and fast cut speeds lower your cutting and gouging costs

Powermax system requirements:

• AC power source (fixed or generator)
• Compressed air – shop air, portable air compressor, or bottled air (nitrogen is often used for stainless steel) – no explosive oxyfuel! (excluding Powermax30 AIR system)
• Safety equipment – including shaded glasses or face shield, gloves, protective clothing
• Proper ventilation
