The Powermax 30 AIR is an advanced plasma arc cutting system with an integrated air compressor for cutting conductive metals including mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum up to 3/8 inches (10 mm) thick and pierce thicknesses up to 1/4 inch (6 mm).
Mechanized plasma torches generate thermal plasma by harnessing direct current (DC) discharge. Thermal plasma can also be generated using alternating current (AC) or radiofrequency.
As the lightest and smallest system in its class, the ergonomic Hypertherm Powermax 30 Air lets you enjoy all the power you know and love form Hypertherm with portable convenience at your fingertips. 120 and 240 V plugs and an internal air compressor give you the freedom to take your Powermax just about anywhere.
Register your Hypertherm Powermax 30 Air to make sure you don't miss out on the confidence, quality and support of a Hypertherm warranty.
The Hypertherm Powermax 30 Air comes with everything you need to get started. A complete set of consumables are pre-installed on the AIR T30 torch, including:
With a 15-foot lead, the AIR T30 also includes a work clamp (with a 15-foot lead) and a 10-foot power cord, plus adapters for both 120-volt & 240-volt outlets.
Oxy-fuel welding and cutting (also referred as oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas-welding) are processes that use fuel gases to burn pure oxygen to achieve high temperatures—allowing the user to weld and cut metals.
The average cost of using a plasma torch is about 37% cheaper per foot, which, over time can save you a big chunk of change. In regions with high labor rates, such as the US, Canada, Europe, etc., it’s extremely important to achieve the highest efficiency possible to maximize your profit. Due to its ability to obtain a high-capacity and high-speed in fabrication operations, plasma torches are the clear-cut preference over oxy-fuel torches.
