0156252880 - ESAB TPC 75 Flux Recovery Strainer Screen

Optimized Flux Recovery for Submerged Arc Welding

The ESAB Flux Strainer (0156252880) is a critical component engineered specifically for the TPC 75 Flux Recovery Unit. In the demanding environment of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), the efficient management and recycling of welding flux are paramount to maintaining operational cost-efficiency and weld integrity. This strainer acts as the first line of defense in your recovery system, ensuring that the flux returned to the hopper is free from contaminants that could compromise future welds.

Precision Filtration and Slag Separation

During the SAW process, a portion of the flux melts to form a protective slag over the weld pool, while the excess unfused flux can be recovered and reused. However, this recovery process often picks up fused slag chips, wire clippings, and other debris. The ESAB TPC 75 Flux Strainer is designed with a precise mesh geometry that effectively separates these unwanted particulates from the reusable granular flux. By filtering out oversized slag, the strainer prevents contamination of the weld zone, which is essential for achieving the mechanical properties and radiographic quality required in heavy industrial applications.

Protecting Your Equipment

Beyond weld quality, this strainer plays a vital role in protecting the TPC 75 unit itself. Without effective filtration, large slag particles can enter the suction system, leading to blockages in the hoses, wear on the venturi ejectors, or clogging of the dust filter. By installing the genuine ESAB 0156252880 strainer, you ensure unrestricted airflow and consistent suction pressure, prolonging the lifespan of your recovery equipment and minimizing downtime associated with maintenance and unclogging procedures.

Genuine ESAB Quality and Compatibility

As an OEM replacement part, this flux strainer is manufactured to the exact specifications of the TPC 75 system. It fits perfectly within the assembly, ensuring a seal that prevents bypass of unfiltered material. Constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the abrasive nature of ceramic and fused fluxes, this strainer is built for longevity in harsh industrial environments. Whether you are welding pressure vessels, structural steel, or pipe, relying on genuine ESAB accessories ensures your automated welding systems perform at their peak.
