Hypertherm has announced introduced  the Powermax30^® AIR, a new portable air plasma system featuring an internal compressor that offers greater convenience for on-the-go cutting.

 With the built-in compressor and the ability to operate on both 120 or 240 volt lines, the Powermax30 AIR is a highly versatile system that enables metal cutting just about anywhere. Weighing only 13.5 kg (30 pounds), the Powermax30 AIR provides 30 amps of output, and has the highest power-to-weight ratio of any system in its class.

 This high power-to-weight ratio is due in part to several engineering advances, including an all-new patent-pending consumable design that optimises airflow from the compact internal compressor. Coupled with a proprietary and highly-effective moisture removal system, the Powermax30 AIR provides excellent cut quality and performance in hot and humid conditions.

 Benefits:

• High portability with the addition of an internal air compressor that eliminates the need for an external compressor unit;
• Greater versatility and convenience with a ‘Plug-and-Use’ model that allows the system to be used anywhere with just an electrical power point, even in remote and non-industrial environments; and
• Cost reduction with the elimination of additional costs associated with the use of an external compressor.
