The Broco 1/2" x 48" Exothermic Lancing Rods represent the pinnacle of thermal cutting technology for industrial demolition and heavy equipment repair. Designed to function with the Broco Prime Cut system, these rods utilize an exothermic chemical reaction to generate temperatures exceeding 10,000°F. This extreme heat allows the rods to cut through materials that are typically resistant to standard oxy-acetylene torches, including cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and even non-ferrous materials like concrete and rock.
Each rod is constructed from a high-quality steel tube containing a bundle of alloy wires. When oxygen is fed through the tube and the tip is ignited, the rod becomes a self-consuming fuel source. The 1/2-inch diameter of this specific SKU provides a substantial fuel load, making it ideal for heavy-duty piercing operations where volume and heat input are critical. The 48-inch length is particularly advantageous for deep hole piercing or when the operator needs to maintain a safe distance from the heat and spatter of the cutting zone.
Industrial professionals rely on Broco lancing rods for the most challenging maintenance tasks. Common applications include removing seized pins from heavy earth-moving equipment, cutting through mixed-metal scrap, and piercing reinforced concrete structures. Because the system requires only oxygen and a 12-volt ignition source (such as a vehicle battery), it is highly portable and effective in field conditions where electrical power for plasma cutters or arc gouging is unavailable. This box contains 25 rods, ensuring you have ample supply for extensive demolition projects.
Safety and efficiency are built into the design. The internal wire configuration is engineered to promote a smooth, even burn, reducing the likelihood of the rod extinguishing mid-cut. Whether you are working in a scrap yard, a mine, or a construction site, Broco lancing rods provide the raw cutting power needed to minimize downtime and maximize productivity.
