Hypertherm announced the availability of Duramax retrofit torches for five more plasma cutting systems: the Powermax600, Powermax800, Powermax900, MAX42 and MAX43.
Patented technology, such as a conical flow nozzle and spring electrode, in the Duramax series of torches, provide more reliable arc starting and enable consumables to last up to six times longer than in the original plasma cutting system torches.
"Although these plasma cutters are in some cases 20 years old, we know there are tens of thousands of people in the marketplace who still use and count on these particular Powermax and MAX systems every day. We believe they should have the benefit of the best plasma cutting technology available," said Clayton Gould, Product Marketing Manager at Hypertherm.
The new Duramax torches include an ergonomic 75 degree hand torch and convertible machine torch. In addition to the Powermax600, Powermax800, Powermax900, MAX42 , and MAX43 systems, Duramax retrofit torches are available for Powermax1000, Powermax1250 and Powermax1650 systems.
