Hypertherm, a US based manufacturer of advanced metal cutting systems, is expanding its line of Centricut? brand performance consumables for Kaliburn Spirit and ProLine cutting systems.

The consumables, designed for stainless steel cutting while using air as the plasma gas, last an average of 20 per cent longer than OEM consumables. This longer life is due in part to better cooling technology in the form of Hypertherm's patented CoolFlow nozzle.

"These Centricut consumables reduce the overall cost of operation and deliver exceptional cut quality and process reliability, while maintaining the fast cutting speeds that customers need. We are so confident in their performance that free samples are available for any customer who wants to test them," said Martin Geheran, product marketing manager for Hypertherm's Centricut brand.

The new consumables are precision manufactured to Hypertherm's tight tolerances so customers get consistent, reliable performance from their cutting system.

Hypertherm designs and manufactures advanced metal cutting systems for use in a variety of industries such as shipbuilding, manufacturing, and automotive repair. Its product line includes handheld and mechanized plasma and laser systems, consumables, as well as CNC motion and height controls and cutting software. Hypertherm systems are trusted for performance and reliability that results in increased productivity and profitability for tens of thousands of businesses. The New Hampshire based company's reputation for metal cutting innovation dates back more than 40 years, to 1968, with Hypertherm's invention of water injection plasma cutting. The company, consistently named a best place to work, has more than 1,000 associates along with operations and partner representation worldwide.
