220798 - Hypertherm 220798 Max Removal Gouging Shield for Powermax 65/85/105

Hypertherm 220798 Max Removal Gouging Shield

The Hypertherm 220798 is a specialized gouging shield designed for heavy-duty metal removal applications. Engineered for use with the Duramax and Duramax RT torch series, this consumable is a critical component for operators using Powermax65, Powermax85, and Powermax105 plasma systems. Unlike standard cutting shields, the 220798 is built to withstand the unique thermal and physical stresses of plasma gouging, where the arc is used to melt and blow away metal rather than sever it.

This "Max Removal" shield is specifically optimized to work in tandem with the 220797 gouging nozzle. Its geometry protects the nozzle tip from molten splatter and reflective heat, significantly extending the life of your front-end consumables. By maintaining the correct standoff distance and gas flow dynamics, it ensures a stable, aggressive arc capable of removing large amounts of material quickly. It is also compatible with Powermax45 XP and Powermax125 systems when equipped with the appropriate Duramax torch setup.

Using genuine Hypertherm consumables like the 220798 ensures your system operates at peak efficiency. Hypertherm's patented technology delivers consistent cut quality and faster speeds, reducing the need for secondary grinding or preparation. Whether you are removing welds, preparing plates for welding, or dismantling structures, this shield provides the durability and performance required for industrial environments.
