Hypertherm, a manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, has emphasised the importance of clean, dry air to enhance the performance of Powermax plasma cutters.

While many companies invest in sophisticated filtering systems for their air compressors, the journey of air from the compressor to the plasma cutter is often overlooked. Condensation, oil contamination, and impurities accumulate in the air lines, compromising the efficiency of the plasma cutter and potentially causing harm to essential components.

The Powermax air filter addresses these challenges. This 1-micron air filter is installed at the Powermax gas inlet and prevents water, particles, and contaminants from reaching the plasma cutter, ensuring dry and clean air for optimal performance.

The Powermax air filter eliminates moisture and impurities in the air supply, safeguarding the plasma
cutter from performance-deteriorating contaminants. Its seamless installation ensures extended consumable life, improved cut quality, and enhanced overall system longevity.

Rafael Barera, Marketing Director Light Industrial Plasma products said: “This filter enhances plasma cutting, streamlining operations for fabricators and manufacturers. It’s a cost-effective solution that maximises efficiency and minimises downtime from consumable-related errors.”
