The Hypertherm 428938 is a specialized 105 A SmartSYNC cartridge engineered specifically for max removal gouging applications. Designed for use with the Powermax105 SYNC plasma cutting systems, this consumable represents a significant leap in thermal cutting technology. By consolidating the traditional five-piece consumable stack (shield, retaining cap, nozzle, electrode, and swirl ring) into a single, unified cartridge, Hypertherm has eliminated the complexity of parts management and the risk of incorrect installation.
This cartridge is distinguished by its Green color coding, indicating its specific application for hand torch gouging. The "Max Removal" designation signifies that the internal geometry is optimized for aggressive metal washing and achieving deep gouge profiles, making it ideal for heavy industrial demolition and preparation work. The cartridge features an integrated RFID chip that communicates directly with the SmartSYNC torch and Powermax system. This communication automatically sets the power source to the correct amperage (105 A) and operating mode, removing the potential for operator setup errors.
Beyond automated setup, the SmartSYNC technology provides valuable operational data. The cartridge tracks arc-on time and usage, communicating end-of-life status to the operator to prevent torch damage and ensure consistent cut quality. For users with older Duramax torches, this cartridge can still be utilized via the optional cartridge adapter (428951), although automated process setup features are exclusive to SmartSYNC torches. This component is essential for professionals requiring high-efficiency metal removal with minimal downtime.
