OVERVIEW

Reliable Flux Management for Submerged Arc Welding

The Lincoln Electric K389 Flux Hopper Assembly is an essential component for professionals utilizing Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) processes. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Lincoln Electric welding systems, this assembly provides a robust solution for holding and dispensing welding flux directly to the joint. In the demanding world of industrial fabrication, having reliable equipment is paramount, and this genuine Lincoln Electric part ensures that your operations run smoothly without interruption.

This complete assembly takes the guesswork out of setting up your flux delivery system. It includes not only the durable flux hopper itself but also all the necessary mounting hardware required for a secure installation. Whether you are setting up a new welding station or replacing a worn-out component on an existing tractor or beam system, the K389 provides the fit and finish expected from a top-tier manufacturer like Lincoln Electric. The hopper is constructed to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial environments, resisting wear and impact common in shop floors and field sites.

Proper flux management is critical for the efficiency of the SAW process. The K389 hopper is engineered to facilitate a steady gravity-fed flow of flux, ensuring that the arc remains fully submerged during the welding operation. This helps in maintaining the integrity of the weld, protecting the molten pool from atmospheric contamination, and producing the smooth, high-quality beads that submerged arc welding is known for. By investing in a genuine Lincoln assembly, you are investing in consistency and reliability.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the included brackets and fasteners. The design allows for easy refilling and monitoring of flux levels, minimizing downtime and keeping your welders focused on the job at hand. For businesses looking to maintain their equipment with high-quality OEM parts, the Lincoln K389 Flux Hopper Assembly is the logical choice for maintaining peak performance in submerged arc applications.

FAQ

The K389 Flux Hopper is designed to hold and dispense granular flux onto the weld joint during Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), ensuring the arc is fully covered.

Yes, the Lincoln K389 assembly includes the flux hopper and all necessary mounting hardware for installation.

It is designed for Lincoln Electric submerged arc systems, but you should check your specific welding head or tractor manual to confirm compatibility with the K389 part number.

The hopper is constructed from durable, industrial-grade materials designed to withstand the abrasive nature of welding flux and the harsh conditions of a welding environment.

No, this hopper is specifically designed for granular flux used in Submerged Arc Welding and is not suitable for gas-shielded processes like MIG or TIG.

The flux typically feeds via gravity from the hopper down to the weld zone, often controlled by a valve or the natural angle of repose of the flux pile.

Yes, the K389 is a genuine OEM part manufactured by Lincoln Electric.

No, the K389 is the hopper assembly only. Flux recovery systems are typically sold separately.
