WCB12-50 - Binzel 3-Gallon Welding Water Cooler System

High-Capacity Thermal Management for Industrial Welding

The Abicor Binzel WCB12-50 Coolant Circulator is a robust thermal management solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-amperage industrial welding. Engineered for reliability and efficiency, this unit is an essential component for protecting water-cooled MIG guns, TIG torches, and plasma cutting systems from overheating. By maintaining optimal operating temperatures, the WCB12-50 not only prevents equipment failure but also ensures consistent electrical conductivity and arc stability, which are critical for high-quality weld deposition.

At the core of the system is a durable rotary vane pump, selected for its ability to deliver consistent flow rates and pressure head, ensuring coolant is effectively circulated through even long torch cable assemblies. The unit features a substantial 3-gallon (approx. 11.4 liters) reservoir, which provides a significant thermal buffer. This larger capacity allows for extended welding durations and higher duty cycles compared to smaller, standard cooling units. The tank is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the harsh environment of metal fabrication shops and to prevent contamination of the cooling fluid.

Integration into existing welding cells is straightforward, thanks to industry-standard 5/8"-18 LH water connections. The unit operates on standard 115V single-phase power, making it compatible with most shop electrical infrastructures. Designed with maintenance in mind, the WCB12-50 includes accessible fill ports and a clear fluid level indication method, allowing operators to verify coolant levels at a glance. Whether used in manual fabrication or automated welding setups, this coolant circulator provides the thermal stability required for precision joining processes.

Technical Specifications & Performance

The system is optimized for use with low-conductivity coolants, such as Binzel's BTC line, to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure dielectric safety. The vertical form factor minimizes the footprint, preserving valuable floor space in crowded welding booths. With built-in thermal overload protection, the motor is safeguarded against excessive heat, ensuring a long service life even under demanding operational conditions.
