Air-cooled or water-cooled torches

Up to 130A, MetalWise torches are cooled by the plasma air. From 200A the torch is water-cooled and the unit comes with a cooler.

Air-cooled or water-cooled torches

Air-cooled units

The 45A, 60A, 100A and 130A MetalWise units use air-cooled torches. The cooling air comes from the compressor, the same source as the plasma gas, so no extra cooling equipment is needed.

Water-cooled units

The 200A, 300A and 400A units use water-cooled mechanised torches. P-METALWISE/165 ships with the Mach-401 torch and a 20L cooler, P-METALWISE/200 with a 26L cooler. Fill coolers with deionised water, or purified water at the least.

The Mach-series torches

Each MetalWise unit has its own torch family, from Mach One on the 45A and 65A units to Mach Five on the 300A and 400A units. The consumables differ by torch, and they are listed on plasmaconsumable.co.za.
