OVERVIEW

Sharpen Your Cutting Edge with the Duramax HRT

Breathe new life into your trusty Powermax plasma cutter with the Hypertherm Duramax HRT Hand Torch Assembly (228788). If you are running a Powermax1000, 1250, or 1650, you don't need to buy a new machine to get better cuts and lower operating costs. This 25-foot retrofit torch is designed to plug directly into your existing system, instantly upgrading it with the high-performance features found in Hypertherm's newest equipment. It is the smartest investment you can make to extend the service life of your plasma cutter while boosting daily productivity.

Built Tougher to Last Longer

Stop worrying about cracked handles and heat damage. The Duramax HRT features a newly designed, fiber-reinforced handle that is 5 times more impact-resistant than your old torch. Whether you drop it, drag it, or expose it to intense gouging heat, this torch is built to take it. It is 20% more heat-resistant, making it perfect for high-amperage applications where standard torches fail. Plus, the new spring strain-relief design improves bend reliability by 10 times, protecting your leads and ensuring consistent power delivery shift after shift.

Save Money on Consumables

The real game-changer is the consumable technology. By switching to the Duramax HRT, you unlock the power of Hypertherm's modern consumable platform. Experience up to a 55% increase in consumable life and up to a 30% reduction in overall consumable costs. The torch produces a more stable arc for cleaner cuts and less dross, meaning less time grinding and more time fabricating. The kit comes ready to cut with a standard set of consumables installed, so you can get back to work immediately.
