A new conversion package from Esab Cutting Systems enables manufacturers of oxy-fuel cutting machinery to convert simply to the advantages of Cooljet cutting torch technology. For fully automated cutting processes, the robust Cooljet torch features a fully integrated oxygen cooling system that enhances productivity, economy and safety.
The Cooljet heating flame heats the raw material to ignition point and at the same time a small amount of heating oxygen flows via the cool flow valve through the cutting channel. This cools the cutting nozzle and prevents hot gases from rising into the cutting channel. The oxygen passes into the heating flame, making it particularly effective.
Cooljet torches are easy to maintain, with torch and nozzle life some two or three times longer then correctional torches, according to Esab. The company also says that productivity is increased thanks to higher cutting speeds and pre-heat times that are 30 per cent shorter. Greater utilisation of the cutting machine also results in lower production costs.
The Cooljet conversion kits for acetylene or propare/natural gas/mixed fuel gas includes torches, heating and cutting nozzles, safety devices, shut-off valve, cleaning needles and nozzle cleaning kit. A range of accessories is also available.
