Powermax systems cut metal quickly, and cleanly

Plasma, and its intense heat (up to 39,000°F or 22,000°C), is created when gas is ionized by electrical energy.

Powermax® systems use plasma to melt metal, and compressed air, nitrogen or F5 gas to blow the molten metal away, leaving a good quality cut edge ready to weld in most cases.

Powermax systems are also effective for gouging metal.

Cut or gouge any electrically conductive metal

Whether in a shop, factory, at home or in the field, Powermax systems cut and gouge all metal types and forms. Most models are available with a handheld or machine torch to fit the application.

Operating a plasma system requires:

  • AC power source (fixed or generator)
  • Compressed air – shop air, portable air compressor or bottled air. Nitrogen and F5 gas are often used for stainless steel
  • Safety equipment, including shaded glasses or face shield, gloves, protective clothing and proper ventilation
