Item Details

  • The ESAB 0558009391 is a front-end consumable sleeve designed for the PT-36 mechanized plasma torch. It functions as a component of the air curtain assembly, directing a high-velocity conical secondary flow of air or gas around the plasma arc. This sleeve is engineered to maintain torch geometry and laminar flow dynamics, specifically for use with the ESAB m3 Plasma system. It serves to shroud the arc, protecting internal components from molten spatter and environmental contaminants while providing acoustic energy suppression.

Features

  • Conical Air Curtain: Creates a high-velocity shroud around the plasma arc to stabilize the cutting stream
  • Spatter Protection: Shields the nozzle and shield cap from molten metal and slag accumulation
  • Acoustic Suppression: Reduces high-decibel noise levels generated during high-amperage heavy plate cutting
  • Fume Control: Assists in the suppression and direction of particulate fumes
  • Laminar Flow Maintenance: Ensures symmetrical gas dynamics to prevent turbulent flow and maintain edge angularity
  • Dielectric Integrity: Designed to withstand radiative heat and prevent electrical breakdown at the torch front-end
  • Dry Cavity Creation: Enables the creation of a dry cavity for the arc when used in underwater or water table cutting applications
  • Universal Fit: Compatible with both standard mechanized and extended reach (XR) torch bodies
