Next generation oxy-fuel cutting and heating
1 min read
High strength materials with a durable design, quick and efficient nozzle changes along with greater operator control are just some of the key benefits of the Saffire Elite cutter, says supplier Murex Welding Products.
Suitable for acetylene and propane cutting, the Saffire Elite Cutter has performance enhancing technical features including a drop forged brass cutting body for superior strength compared with standard brass bar produced products.
Precision machined seats ensure a perfect fit between the cutter and nozzle and there is also an increased surface area for superior heat dispersion during the cutting process. Hard silver soldered joints provide resistance to high working temperatures. The triangulated stainless steel seamless tubes are manufactured from Grade 304 steel to reduce the heat transfer to the operator and to increase the torch's durability.
A twin O-ring system gives greater control of the cutting stream whilst the positive cutting oxygen valve, with progressive bleed, ensures smooth starts. The ergonomic design with increased comfort and grip for both left and right-handed operators is highlighted by Murex while a large collar is claimed to be very strong as the handle assembly is produced from extruded aluminium grade 6061, ensuring durability and strength.
