0339719880 - ESAB OPC Flux Recovery Suction Unit

ESAB OPC Flux Suction Device Overview

The ESAB 0339719880 Flux Suction Device is a critical component designed for the OPC (One Piece Construction) flux recovery systems used in Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). This device is engineered to provide efficient, reliable suction to recover unused welding flux directly from the weld seam, allowing it to be recirculated and reused. By integrating this suction device into your SAW setup, you ensure optimal material utilization and maintain a cleaner working environment.

Operating on a pneumatic principle, this device utilizes compressed air to create a vacuum (Venturi effect), eliminating the need for electric motors at the suction point. This design choice enhances durability and safety, particularly in heavy industrial settings where electrical components may be prone to failure due to dust or heat. The unit is designed to handle the abrasive nature of welding flux, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance requirements.

The 0339719880 is specifically calibrated to work within the ESAB OPC ecosystem, ensuring seamless compatibility with ESAB welding tractors and heads. It effectively separates reusable flux from slag and fine dust, ensuring that only clean, high-quality flux is returned to the hopper. This precise separation is vital for maintaining weld quality and preventing defects associated with contaminated flux.

Installation is straightforward, designed to mount directly onto the welding head or tractor assembly. This proximity to the arc ensures maximum recovery efficiency. Whether used in beam fabrication, pipe welding, or tank manufacturing, the ESAB Flux Suction Device is an essential tool for maximizing the efficiency of submerged arc welding operations.
