0148140882 - ESAB Cyclone Heavy Duty Oxy-Propane Heating Torch

High-Efficiency Industrial Heating Solution

The ESAB Cyclone Complete OPC is a premier heating blowpipe engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications where rapid heat input and fuel efficiency are paramount. Originating from the renowned Murex heritage, the Cyclone series is distinguished by its unique flame characteristics. Unlike traditional multi-flame heating heads that project heat in a straight line, the Cyclone utilizes a specialized mixer and nozzle design to create a high-velocity, swirling flame pattern. This aerodynamic effect improves thermal transfer efficiency by reducing the boundary layer of air on the workpiece surface, allowing the heat to penetrate the metal more rapidly.

Designed specifically for use with Oxygen and Propane (OPC), this complete unit offers a cost-effective alternative to acetylene-based heating for large-scale operations. Propane provides a high total heat output (BTU) which, when combined with the Cyclone's delivery system, makes it ideal for pre-heating thick plates, straightening structural steel, and bending large diameter pipes. The "Complete" assembly ensures that the operator has a matched system—handle, mixer, and tip—calibrated for optimal safety and performance right out of the box.

For MRO managers and procurement specialists, the ESAB Cyclone represents a durable investment. Its robust brass construction withstands the rigors of shipyard, rail, and heavy fabrication environments. The tool is designed to minimize maintenance downtime, featuring accessible valves and standard connections compatible with existing industrial gas regulation equipment. By leveraging the lower cost of propane without sacrificing heating speed, the Cyclone Complete OPC optimizes operational costs in thermal processing tasks.
