0380-0220 - Victor MT310N 3-Hose Machine Torch for Propane/Natural Gas

Precision Engineering for Automated Cutting

The Victor 0380-0220 MT310N Machine Torch represents a pinnacle in oxy-fuel cutting technology, specifically engineered for industrial automation where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. This model is part of the renowned MT 300 series, distinguished by its high-performance "straight through" design. Unlike traditional torches that may introduce turbulence into the gas stream, the MT310N's internal geometry is optimized to maintain laminar flow. This reduction in turbulence is critical for achieving high-quality cut surfaces with minimal kerf width and slag accumulation, particularly when processing thick plates up to 12 inches (304.8mm).

Designed as a three-hose system, the MT310N separates the fuel gas, preheat oxygen, and cutting oxygen streams. This configuration is essential for machine applications where the high-pressure cutting oxygen is controlled remotely via a solenoid valve rather than a torch-mounted lever. Consequently, this model is designed without a high-pressure cutting oxygen valve on the torch body itself, streamlining the profile and reducing maintenance points. The torch is calibrated for alternative fuels, specifically Propane (LP) and Natural Gas, making it a versatile choice for facilities looking to move away from Acetylene for heavy heating and cutting operations.

The physical specifications of the MT310N are tailored for standard machine mounting. It features a total length of 14 inches (355.6mm) and a barrel length of 10 inches (254mm), providing ample clearance and reach. The 7-inch (177.8mm) racking length offers significant adjustability for positioning the torch relative to the workpiece. Compatibility with Series 1 Victor Cutting Tips ensures that consumables are readily available and can be selected to match specific material thicknesses and gas pressures. This torch is a critical component for fabricators requiring consistent, high-duty-cycle performance in automated cutting environments.
