Freedom 38 PPA enables plasma cutting in areas without electricity.
Hypertherm is now accepting orders for its Freedom 38 PPA, an all-in-one unit combining plasma, power and air for cutting in areas without access to electricity.
The unit combines a Powermax125 plasma system with a 38 kw generator and air compressor.
Companies needing to cut metal in remote areas can take advantage of the simplicity of operating one unit instead of three separate systems.
The unit enables users to replace their current cutting methods (oxyfuel cutting, grinding and carbon arc gouging) with plasma, thereby eliminating the costs of renting and transporting flammable gas cylinders.
Cut capacity for the included Powermax125 plasma system is 38 mm (1½”) at a speed of 18 IPM and 44 mm (1¾”) when cutting at a speed of 10 IPM. In addition, the system is capable of severing 57-mm-(2¼”)-thick material.
The Powermax125 is also capable of gouging and can be used with a number of different torch and consumable options to suit a variety of handheld and automated applications.
“From pipeline construction and repair to deconstruction, decommissioning and plant shutdown, initial response to the Freedom 38 PPA is enthusiastic,” said Russ Diefenbach, Hypertherm’s light industrial product manager.
The Freedom 38 PPA is available now from authorized distribution partners in the United States and Canada.
