01082002 - Arcair K4000 Angle-Arc Manual Gouging Torch 1000A

Heavy-Duty Metal Removal with the Arcair K4000

The Arcair K4000 Angle-Arc Manual Gouging Torch is the industry standard for air carbon-arc metal removal, designed to handle the most demanding industrial applications. Known for its rugged reliability, the K4000 "Extreme" torch is engineered for heavy-duty gouging, weld preparation, and casting finishing. With a massive amperage capacity of up to 1000 Amps, this torch powers through steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other metals with exceptional speed and precision.

Optimized Performance and Airflow

Efficiency is at the core of the K4000's design. It features a specialized four-hole head assembly that optimizes airflow directly to the arc. This improved air stream efficiently blows away molten slag from the groove edge, resulting in cleaner cuts and reduced cleanup time. The torch also utilizes an air assist positive air shut-off valve, which minimizes the cycling of the air supply unit and allows the torch to operate effectively even when the air supply is marginal. This ensures consistent performance in shops with fluctuating air pressure.

Durability and Operator Safety

Built to withstand harsh environments like shipyards and pressure vessel shops, the K4000 includes a heavy-duty cable assembly. The cable features improved electrical conduction to decrease heat build-up, extending the life of both the cable and the torch. A superior outer cable cover resists breakdown caused by the intense heat and abrasion typical of gouging operations. For safety, the torch comes with an insulated connection boot and hook-up kit, virtually eliminating the risk of arcing when the connection point contacts electrically hot parts. Whether you are removing welds, preparing plate edges, or cleaning castings, the Arcair K4000 delivers the power and durability required for professional fabrication.
