0558007897 - ESAB PowerCut Water Separator Kit

Optimize Your Plasma Cutting System with the ESAB Water Separator

The ESAB 0558007897 Option Water Separator is a critical accessory designed to enhance the performance and longevity of your ESAB PowerCut plasma cutting system. In industrial environments, compressed air lines frequently accumulate moisture, oil, and particulate matter. When these contaminants enter the plasma stream, they can destabilize the arc, cause rapid deterioration of electrodes and nozzles, and ultimately lead to poor cut quality. This genuine ESAB accessory provides a robust line of defense, filtering out impurities before they reach the torch.

Engineered for seamless integration, this water separator kit is specifically compatible with PowerCut 900, 1300, and 1600 models. It mounts directly to the machine, ensuring a compact footprint and efficient routing of airflow. By delivering clean, dry air to the plasma torch, the separator prevents the phenomenon known as "double arcing" and reduces the frequency of consumable changes. This not only lowers operational costs but also minimizes downtime associated with torch maintenance.

At Josef Gas, we understand that precision is paramount in metal fabrication. The presence of water in your air line can cause hydrogen embrittlement in the cut face or porosity in subsequent welds. Installing the ESAB 0558007897 ensures that your equipment operates within its optimal parameters, delivering the clean, dross-free cuts that ESAB systems are known for. The kit comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, making installation straightforward for maintenance personnel.

Key Technical Benefits

• Moisture Elimination: Centrifugal separation effectively removes water droplets and aerosols.


• Consumable Protection: Dry air significantly extends the life of hafnium electrodes and copper nozzles.


• Arc Stability: Reduces voltage fluctuations caused by contaminants in the plasma gas stream.
