PAK-FEEDASSIST-B - ESAB Pneumatic Wire Feed Booster Kit

Optimize Bulk Wire Delivery with ESAB Feed Assist

The ESAB Feed Assist Package (PAK-FEEDASSIST-B) is a critical solution for industrial welding environments utilizing bulk wire systems. When welding wire is dispensed from large drums or Marathon Pacs, especially over long distances or through complex conduit routing, friction becomes a major enemy. This friction forces the primary wire feeder to work harder, leading to drive roll slippage, wire shaving, and premature wear of consumables. The ESAB Feed Assist solves this by providing a pneumatic push at the source, effectively neutralizing the drag within the conduit.

Designed for high-volume fabrication shops and robotic cells, this package includes the pneumatic assist unit and necessary mounting hardware to integrate seamlessly with your existing bulk wire setup. By maintaining a positive feed pressure, the unit ensures that the wire arrives at the feeder with zero tension, allowing the feeder to perform its primary job of metering wire speed with precision. This is particularly beneficial for softer wires like aluminum or flux-cored wires that are prone to deformation under high pulling tension.

Installation is straightforward, and the device operates on standard shop compressed air. The "PAK" configuration ensures you have the essential components to get the system running immediately. Whether you are running 50-foot conduits or simply want to reduce the strain on your equipment, the ESAB Feed Assist is an investment in process reliability and equipment longevity.
