94378286 - Arcair Tri-Arc 1/2-Inch Pad Washing Head Assembly

Optimize Foundry Operations with the Arcair Tri-Arc Pad Washing Head

Keep your foundry operations running smoothly with the Arcair 94378286 Head Assembly, a premium replacement part designed for the renowned Tri-Arc gouging torch. In the demanding world of metal casting and finishing, equipment reliability is paramount. The Tri-Arc torch is a staple in foundries for its ability to remove large amounts of metal quickly, and this specific head assembly is tailored for the precise task of pad washing. Pad washing involves removing temporary metal pads or risers from a casting to create a flush surface, requiring a specific angle and air flow dynamic that this head assembly provides.

This assembly is built to accommodate 1/2-inch gouging electrodes, a standard size for medium-to-heavy duty metal removal tasks. The design ensures that the electrode is held firmly in place, preventing movement that could lead to erratic gouges or safety hazards. Furthermore, the head assembly is integral to the torch's air system. It channels high-velocity compressed air parallel to the electrode, effectively blasting away molten metal as the arc melts it. This efficient slag ejection is critical for pad washing, where the goal is a clean, flat surface rather than a deep channel. A properly functioning head assembly reduces the need for secondary grinding, saving time and labor costs.

Foundry environments are notoriously harsh, with high temperatures, dust, and mechanical impact being daily occurrences. The Arcair 94378286 is manufactured with high-quality materials that resist heat damage and wear, extending the service life of your torch. Using genuine Arcair replacement parts protects your investment in the Tri-Arc system and ensures compatibility with existing cables and handles. It eliminates the guesswork associated with aftermarket parts that may not tolerate the high amperages used in foundry gouging.

Installation of the 94378286 Head Assembly is straightforward, allowing maintenance teams to get torches back into production quickly. Regular inspection and replacement of the head assembly prevent issues such as air leaks or poor electrical contact, which can compromise weld quality and operator safety. Equip your Tri-Arc torches with the correct tooling for the job; choose the Arcair 94378286 for superior pad washing performance and reliability.
