OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Non-Stop Welding

If you are running bulk wire in your shop, you know that a heavy 500lb or 1000lb drum is great for production but can be a headache if the wire doesn't feed right. The ESAB Payoff Assembly for 23-inch Marathon Pac Drums (899F38) is the solution to keep your wire running smoothly so you can keep your hood down and your arc on. Designed specifically to fit the standard 23-inch ESAB Marathon Pac, this unit sits securely on top of the drum and guides the wire out safely and efficiently.

One of the biggest frustrations with bulk wire is the risk of the wire tangling inside the drum or dragging heavily against the rim as it feeds out. This payoff assembly acts as a guide, preventing the wire from catching or kinking. It ensures that the wire transitions from the large coil in the drum into your conduit liner without adding unnecessary drag. Less drag means your wire feeder doesn't have to work as hard, which saves wear and tear on your drive rolls and liner, and ultimately gives you a more consistent arc at the torch.

Whether you are setting up a new station or replacing a worn-out guide, this assembly is easy to install and built to last. It helps protect the wire from shop dust and debris falling into the drum, which can clog liners and ruin contact tips. By using the genuine ESAB payoff assembly, you ensure that your high-quality ESAB wire performs exactly as it was intended, delivering clean welds without the hassle of feed stoppages. It is an essential piece of gear for any welder moving from small spools to bulk drums to save time and money.

FAQ

This assembly is specifically designed for 23-inch diameter Marathon Pac (MP) drums.

Yes, it is engineered to control the wire as it dispenses from the drum, significantly reducing the risk of tangles and bird-nesting.

Absolutely. It is ideal for robotic applications where consistent, uninterrupted wire feeding is critical for process reliability.

Typically, the conduit is sold separately or cut to length based on the distance to the feeder, but this assembly provides the connection point for the conduit.

It is designed for ESAB Marathon Pac drums. While it may fit other 23-inch drums physically, performance is guaranteed with the ESAB system.

By guiding the wire smoothly out of the drum, it reduces friction and drag, which lowers the strain on the wire feeder motor and improves arc stability.

No, the assembly is designed for quick and easy installation on top of the drum to minimize changeover time.

It is constructed from durable industrial-grade materials designed to withstand the wear of continuous wire feeding.
