Easy to use
  • Reduce operator training and troubleshooting time with fewer consumable parts to manage and replace.
  • Cartridges are color coded by application and clearly laser marked for easy identification of process and amperage.
  • Upgrading to the Hypertherm cartridge platform is easy for Powermax45® XP/65/85/105 systems via a torch adapter for Duramax® torches.
  • Used cartridge consumables are 85% metal by weight and are easily recycled using normal scrapping processes.
Productivity gains
  • Cartridges are optimized by design to maximize performance and output for life gains when handheld cutting and optimal cut quality for mechanized cutting.

HYPERTHERM CARTRIDGES PART NUMBERS

Hypertherm cartridges for Powermax systems are manufactured to uphold our high standards for quality and reliability. As part of the manufacturing process, we test-fire each cartridge to ensure proper assembly and function. As a result, there may be burn marks on the tip of the cartridge. This is normal and not a sign of damage.
