228716 - Hypertherm Duramax Machine Torch Main Body Replacement Kit

Restore Precision with Genuine Hypertherm Replacement Parts

The Hypertherm 228716 is a comprehensive replacement kit designed specifically for the main body of Duramax machine torches. In high-stakes industrial cutting environments, the integrity of your torch body is paramount. Over time, heat stress, mechanical wear, or accidental impact can compromise the internal alignment and gas flow channels of the torch structure. This OEM replacement ensures that your Powermax system continues to operate at peak efficiency, maintaining the tight tolerances required for mechanized cutting applications. By utilizing genuine Hypertherm components, operators can trust in the continued safety and reliability of their equipment.

Engineered for seamless compatibility with the M65, M85, and M105 series machine torches found on Powermax65, Powermax85, and Powermax105 systems, this kit provides a direct-fit solution that eliminates the guesswork associated with generic aftermarket parts. Using genuine Hypertherm parts guarantees that the electrical conductivity and thermal resistance meet the original factory specifications. This is critical for preventing premature failure of consumables and ensuring consistent arc initiation. The kit includes the essential components to rebuild the main body section of the torch, allowing maintenance teams to extend the lifecycle of their expensive torch assemblies rather than replacing the entire unit.

Technical Reliability and Performance

The main body of a plasma torch acts as the central hub for gas distribution and electrical current transfer. A compromised body can lead to gas leaks, arcing faults, and poor cut quality. The 228716 kit restores the torch to its original operational state, ensuring that shielding gas and plasma gas are routed correctly to the nozzle and electrode. This attention to detail in the repair process translates directly to cleaner cuts, less dross, and longer consumable life. For industrial facilities relying on the Powermax platform for automated cutting, this replacement kit is an essential maintenance item to keep on the shelf.

• Restores original factory performance to Duramax machine torches.
