Hypertherm's Centricut brand has announced the release of new consumables for PerCut 210M and 450M torches found on all new and upgraded Kjellberg HiFocus systems.

The Centricut brand consumables will match, and in many cases surpass, the performance of Kjellberg consumables. At the same time, they cost considerably less to purchase reducing the cost of the end user's cutting operation. At 280 Amps, the Centricut parts delivered better cut quality through the life of the consumables, thanks in part to Hypertherm's patented SilverLine electrode and CoolFlow nozzle technologies.

SilverLine technology features a hybrid copper / silver weld joint that delivers performance equal to a solid silver electrode for a fraction of the cost. Advanced cooling features reduce the operating temperature of the electrode. As a result, the hafnium pit depth is maximized and the wear rate slowed to extend electrode life. CoolFlow technology features improved cooling to help maintain the size and shape of the nozzle orifice for longer life. Centricut consumables for the Kjellberg PerCut 210M and 450M require no changes in system set up and are designed with features that permit them to work in all versions of these new Kjellberg torches.

"These new consumables reduce the overall cost of operation, both because they cost less to purchase and because they deliver increased performance improving the overall productivity of the plasma cutting system," explains Martin Geheran, product marketing manager for Hypertherm's Centricut brand.

Centricut brand consumables, like all Hypertherm consumables, are designed with critical-to-function tolerances and are precision manufactured by advanced machinists to deliver the best quality product every time.
