OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Broco Slice Rods for Heavy MRO

The Broco Slice Rod OEM 3/8" x 60" (BRO3860PC-25) represents the pinnacle of exothermic cutting technology for industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). Designed for the toughest environments, these rods are essential for professionals in heavy equipment repair, demolition, and scrap processing. Unlike standard oxy-fuel cutting which relies on preheating and oxidizing steel, the Broco Slice system utilizes a patented exothermic chemical reaction that generates temperatures exceeding 10,000°F. This extreme heat allows the rod to cut, burn, or melt through virtually any material known to man, including cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, slag, and even non-metallic materials like concrete and brick.

This specific SKU features an extended 60-inch length, significantly longer than standard 18-inch or 36-inch rods. This extra length is critical for industrial safety and efficiency. It allows operators to maintain a safer distance from the heat and spatter generated during heavy piercing operations. Furthermore, the extended length reduces the frequency of rod changes, thereby increasing uptime during time-critical maintenance shutdowns. Each box contains 25 rods, ensuring your team has ample supply for substantial projects such as removing seized pivot pins on excavators or cutting through reinforced concrete pilings.

Josef Gas recommends these rods for facilities managing diverse material waste or heavy machinery. The versatility of the Broco Slice rod eliminates the need for multiple cutting tools; whether you are dealing with mud-caked tracks, rust-covered beams, or composite materials, the BRO3860PC-25 delivers consistent performance. The rods are designed to work with the standard Broco Slice torch and require an oxygen supply and a 12-volt ignition source (battery or striker). Once ignited, the rod continues to burn as long as oxygen flows, making it an indispensable tool for field repairs where high-amperage electrical power sources may not be available.

Key Industrial Benefits:

  • Universal Material Compatibility: Cuts ferrous and non-ferrous metals, refractory, and rock.
  • Extended Reach: 60-inch length improves operator safety and access to deep recesses.
  • High Efficiency: Reduces downtime associated with frequent rod changes.
  • Reliability: Proven performance in mining, military, and rescue applications.

FAQ

You need a Broco Slice torch (or compatible exothermic torch), an oxygen cylinder with a high-flow regulator, and a 12-volt battery or striker plate for ignition.

Yes, Broco Slice rods can cut and pierce concrete, brick, and rock because the exothermic reaction generates temperatures high enough to melt these materials.

No. Electricity (12V) is only required to ignite the rod. Once the rod is burning, the reaction is sustained by the flow of oxygen alone.

The 60-inch length provides greater reach for deep piercing and keeps the operator further away from heat and sparks, enhancing safety during heavy-duty cutting.

This SKU contains 25 rods per box.

These are 3/8-inch diameter rods, which is a standard size for most exothermic cutting torches.

Absolutely. Unlike oxy-fuel torches, Broco Slice rods cut non-ferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel effectively.

Yes, Broco Slice rods typically feature a coating that helps prevent the rod from arcing against the side of the cut (if using power assist) and improves handling.
