Hypertherm Launches Powermax30 AIR
New Air Plasma System Includes Internal Air Compressor for On-the-go Cutting
Hypertherm, a U.S. based manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems, announced the introduction of the Powermax30 AIR, a new portable air plasma system featuring an internal compressor that offers greater convenience for on-the-go cutting.
With the built-in compressor and the ability to operate on both 120 or 240 volt lines, the Powermax30 AIR is a highly versatile system that enables metal cutting just about anywhere. Weighing only 13.5 kg (30 pounds), the Powermax30 AIR provides 30 amps of output, and has the highest power-to-weight ratio of any system in its class.
This high power-to-weight ratio is due in part to several engineering advances, including an all-new patent-pending consumable design that optimises airflow from the compact internal compressor. Coupled with a proprietary and highly-effective moisture removal system, the Powermax30 AIR provides excellent cut quality and performance in hot and humid conditions.
Benefits:
- High portability with the addition of an internal air compressor that eliminates the need for an external compressor unit;
- Greater versatility and convenience with a ‘Plug-and-Use’ model that allows the system to be used anywhere with just an electrical power point, even in remote and non-industrial environments; and
- Cost reduction with the elimination of additional costs associated with the use of an external compressor.
“Hypertherm is setting new performance and portability standards with this new model,” explains Harry Mellott, a Hypertherm Powermax specialist. “With a recommended cut capacity of 8 mm (5/16”)and a severance capacity of 16 mm (5/8”), the system can easily and quickly cut a variety of metal types and thicknesses making it a great entry-level cutting tool for a wide variety of applications.”
Powermax30 AIR system will be available for orders from authorised Hypertherm distributors, from 10 March.
