0445800900 - ESAB RobustFeed U82 Advanced Water-Cooled Wire Feeder

Extreme Durability Meets Advanced Control

The ESAB RobustFeed U82 PP is not just another wire feeder; it is a paradigm shift in portable welding technology. Designed for the most demanding environments on the planet, from offshore oil rigs to muddy construction sites, the RobustFeed series boasts an industry-leading IP44 protection rating. This means the unit is sealed against water splashes from all directions and solid objects greater than 1mm, ensuring that internal electronics and the wire spool remain pristine even in torrential rain or dusty workshops. The double-walled design acts as a shock absorber, protecting the precision drive mechanism from drops, drags, and impacts that would destroy lesser feeders.

At the heart of this unit is the advanced U82 Control Panel. Unlike basic voltage/wire-speed knobs, the U82 interface unlocks the full potential of ESAB's Aristo power sources. It provides access to SuperPulse™ technology, which allows for TIG-like aesthetics and heat control using the MIG process. Operators can utilize pre-programmed synergic lines for a vast array of materials, including difficult alloys like aluminum and stainless steel. The "PP" designation indicates this unit is Push-Pull ready, making it the ultimate solution for feeding soft aluminum wires over long distances without bird-nesting.

This specific model (0445800900) comes equipped with water cooling capabilities and a standard Euro connector, allowing for the use of high-amperage liquid-cooled torches necessary for heavy fabrication. The internal wire compartment is even heated to prevent condensation, safeguarding your consumables against moisture absorption and subsequent weld defects. Whether you are welding structural steel in the freezing north or fabricating pipe in a humid shipyard, the RobustFeed U82 delivers shop-quality precision in a military-grade package.
