Hypertherm cartridges
The Hypertherm cartridge consumable platform is a revolutionary change to standard air plasma consumables. Each single-piece cartridge is optimized by process and amperage to ensure performance while dramatically simplifying the parts needed to cut or gouge with plasma.
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.
