OVERVIEW

Power and Control for Heavy Heating

When you need to get a piece of steel red-hot in record time, the ESAB Cyclone Complete OPC is the tool you reach for. This isn't your average cutting torch repurposed for heating; it is a dedicated heavy-duty heating blowpipe designed to move metal. If you work in structural steel, ship repair, or heavy equipment maintenance, you know that waiting for a part to reach temperature is wasted time. The Cyclone torch uses a unique swirling flame that "wraps" around pipes and bars, dumping heat into the material faster than standard rosebuds. This means you can bend, straighten, or pre-heat faster and get on with the job.

The "OPC" designation indicates this torch is tuned for Oxy-Propane. Propane is cleaner, cheaper, and safer than acetylene for large heating jobs, and this torch squeezes every ounce of energy out of it. The flame is incredibly stable, even if you are working outdoors in a breeze or forcing the torch into a tight corner. The handle is balanced and ribbed for a good grip with heavy welding gloves, reducing hand fatigue during those long heating cycles required for thick plate or castings.

This is a complete unit, meaning you don't have to hunt for matching mixers or necks—it's ready to hook up to your regulators and hoses. Whether you are shrinking a bearing race, flame-straightening a warped beam, or pre-heating a casting before welding, the ESAB Cyclone gives you the intense, controllable heat you need to manipulate steel at will. It’s a legendary tool in the trade for a reason: it simply works.

FAQ

This torch is designed for use with Oxygen and Propane (or other LPGs). It is not designed for Acetylene.

No, the 'Complete' designation refers to the torch assembly itself (handle, mixer, and head). Hoses and regulators must be purchased separately.

The swirling flame wraps around round objects like pipes and bars better than a straight flame, providing more even heating and faster heat transfer.

No, this is a dedicated heating blowpipe. It does not have a cutting oxygen lever or the internal geometry required for oxy-fuel cutting.

Yes, standard high-flow flashback arrestors should be installed at the regulator or torch inlet for safety.

It is widely used in shipbuilding, heavy fabrication, structural steel erection, and railway maintenance.

Purge the lines, open the fuel gas slightly, ignite with a striker, and then slowly introduce oxygen until the neutral or desired flame is achieved. Always follow ESAB safety manuals.

Yes, the heating nozzle/tip is a consumable part and can be replaced when worn or damaged.
