The Arcair K3000 Manual Gouging Torch (SKU: 01-065-001) is a medium-duty air carbon-arc torch designed for efficient metal removal and surface preparation. Engineered for industrial fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations, this torch operates at up to 600 Amps, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of gouging applications. The K3000 utilizes a compressed air stream in conjunction with a carbon electrode to melt and blow away molten metal, creating clean, precise grooves.
This torch is optimized for performance with a specific focus on air flow dynamics. It features a four-hole head assembly that directs air efficiently to the arc, ensuring effective slag removal from the groove edge. The system requires a compressed air supply of 80 PSI (5.5 kg/cm²) and a flow rate of 22 CFM (0.62 m³/min). It accommodates a variety of carbon electrode shapes and sizes, including pointed electrodes from 1/8" to 3/8", jointed electrodes from 5/16" to 3/8", and flat electrodes in 3/8" and 5/8" widths. The half-round electrode capacity is 5/8".
The K3000 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. It incorporates durable front insulators that resist breakdown from the intense heat produced during gouging. The torch body features a natural 15-degree angle, which provides a comfortable working position for the operator. The assembly includes an insulated connection boot and hook-up kit, designed to simplify installation and virtually eliminate the risk of arcing when contacting electrically hot parts. The improved cable electrical conduction design (when paired with appropriate cable assemblies) decreases heat build-up, extending the service life of the equipment.
A key feature of the K3000 is the Air Assist Positive Air Shut-Off. This mechanism minimizes the cycling of the air supply unit, allowing the torch to be used effectively even when the air supply is marginal. The positive grip handle ensures the torch remains stable in the operator's hand, enhancing safety and precision during complex gouging tasks.
