Retrofit torches bring longer consumable life to plasma cutting systems

Hypertherm has announced the availability of Duramax™ retrofit torches for five more plasma cutting systems: the Powermax600™, Powermax800™, Powermax900™, MAX42™, and MAX43™. In addition to these, the torches also are available for retrofit to Powermax1000, Powermax1250, and Powermax1650 systems.

Patented technology in the torch series, such as a conical flow™ nozzle and spring electrode, provides reliable arc starting and enables consumables to last up to six times longer than in the original plasma cutting system torches, according to the manufacturer.

The line includes an ergonomic, 75-degree hand torch and convertible machine torch.
