FlushCut now available for Powermax 45XP

The Powermax45 XP, the most versatile air plasma system on the market, now has additional application capability. The new range of consumables from Hypertherm means 45-amp FlushCutting is now available for Powermax45 XP systems. 

FlushCut consumables feature an angled nozzle bore that delivers the plasma arc at a 45-degree angle, ideal for challenging removal applications. Instead of locating the nozzle opening at the tip as is typically done, the FlushCut nozzle orifice is located on the side. This essentially bends the plasma arc, causing it to exit the torch at an angle nearly parallel to the workpiece. As a result, Powermax users can cut closer, or more flush, to the base metal than ever before, significantly reducing grinding work and increasing the opportunity to reuse temporary attachments

Patented FlushCut consumables have been specifically designed to allow Powermax users to cut attachments, lugs, pad eyes and other positive features as close to the base as possible without piercing or damaging the workpiece. An angled nozzle bore design and flat guiding shield enables flush cutting that leaves less than 5 mm residual material on the base or work piece, reducing grinding and secondary repair operations. This also means lugs and attachments are removed with a flat bottom, increasing the chances for them to be reused.  Not only is the flush cutting process ideal for difficult removal applications, but it can also be used in lieu of a grinder, at lower amperages, to wash away residual material or hard facing without impacting the workpiece or base material.

The 45-amp flush cutting process can also be used on the Powermax65, Powermax85 or Powermax105 at reduced amperage levels with Duramax torches, both mechanised and handheld. Flushcut is also available on the Powermax125, Powermax65 SYNC, Powermax85 SYNC and Powermax105 SYNC and is available from our online store.
