SM-WC-TR - Steelmax Torch Runner Portable Track Burner

Automated Precision for Industrial Fabrication

The Steelmax Torch Runner is a state-of-the-art track cutting machine designed to bring automation and precision to your oxy-fuel cutting operations. In the heavy industrial sector, consistency is key to profitability. Manual cutting often results in irregular edges that require time-consuming grinding and finishing before welding can commence. The Torch Runner eliminates this bottleneck by providing a steady, motorized carriage that travels along a rail system, ensuring that every cut is straight, smooth, and ready for fabrication. This machine is an essential asset for structural steel shops, shipyards, and tank manufacturers looking to improve throughput and reduce labor costs associated with secondary finishing.

Built with the rugged demands of the job site in mind, the Torch Runner features a robust aluminum cast body that resists heat and impact. Despite its heavy-duty construction, it remains lightweight enough for a single operator to transport and set up on large plates. The unit is equipped with a high-quality motor and a precise gear drive system that ensures smooth travel at consistent speeds, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the cut and preventing flame loss. The integrated gas manifold system simplifies hose management, reducing clutter and improving safety around the cutting area. By standardizing your cutting process with the Torch Runner, you ensure that your production line maintains a high standard of quality control.

At Josef Gas, we understand that equipment downtime is not an option. The Steelmax Torch Runner is designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, with accessible components and a simple, intuitive control interface. Whether you are processing mild steel plate for structural columns or preparing beveled edges for heavy-wall pipe welding, this machine delivers the performance you need. Its compatibility with standard 1-3/8 inch torch barrels means it integrates seamlessly with your existing oxy-fuel equipment, making it a cost-effective upgrade for any fabrication facility.
