The Powermax air filter eliminates moisture and impurities in the air supply, safeguarding the plasma cutter.

Dordrecht, The Netherlands, February 2024 – Hypertherm Associates, a US based manufacturer of industrial cutting systems and software, emphasizes 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.

Key features:

·Easy Installation: Mount directly on the Powermax or wall-mount using the custom bracket.

·Cost Savings: Potentially save hundreds, if not thousands, over the Powermax system's life.

·Operational Improvements: Consistent, clean air supply translates to peak performance.

Rafael Barera, Marketing Director Light Industrial Plasma products, expresses excitement about the air filter's benefits, stating, "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."

The Powermax Air Filter (Part Number: 128647) is available for purchase from authorised Hypertherm distributors. From February 19th until March 29th, Hypertherm is running a special promotion for customers based in EMEIA. With each Powermax system purchase (excluding the Powermax30 AIR), an air filter is added for free.
