Excellent portability with the<br />

<strong>TransCut</strong> <strong>300</strong> plasma cutting system<br />

� Compact, portable (14.6 kg) plasma cutting system for manual use<br />

� No compressed air supply needed - technological breakthrough using liquid<br />

instead of gas<br />

� Ready for operation in the blink of an eye<br />

� Cuts conventional metals up to a recommended<br />

sheet thickness of 6 mm, cutting up to 10 mm<br />

� Better working environment thanks to<br />

low emissions<br />

� One tank is enough for roughly 3 hours' non-stop cutting<br />

(this corresponds to a period of 1 month in a typical construction site)<br />

Cutting surfaces compared<br />

� The liquid working medium contains no<br />

nitrogen. This prevents nitriding of the cut<br />

edges and reduces the risk of pore<br />

formation during the next welding session<br />

� Air plasma allows the cut surfaces to<br />

nitride and oxidise more heavily<br />

<strong>TransCut</strong> <strong>300</strong> - summary<br />

� Robust and easy-to-use manual 230 V plasma cutting<br />

system<br />

� Innovative cutting technology (liquid instead of compressed<br />

air) and its light weight make it 100% portable<br />

� Cuts all usual metals (steel, aluminium, CrNi)<br />

� Recommended sheet thickness 6 mm<br />

� Cuts up to 10 mm<br />

� The "<strong>TransCut</strong> Liquid" liquid cutting medium radically<br />

reduces toxic emissions and facilitates "Green cutting"<br />
