OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB A2 Flux Hopper for Submerged Arc Welding

The ESAB Flux Hopper A2 (Part Number: 0332837001) is a critical component designed for the rigorous demands of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). As an authorized distributor of ESAB industrial solutions, Josef Gas provides this genuine OEM replacement part to ensure your automated welding systems maintain peak performance. The flux hopper is the heart of the material delivery system on A2 welding tractors and heads, responsible for providing a steady, uninterrupted flow of granular flux to the weld puddle. Without a reliable hopper, the integrity of the submerged arc process is compromised, leading to potential porosity or lack of shielding.

Constructed from high-durability materials, this hopper is engineered to withstand the harsh environment of heavy fabrication shops, shipyards, and pipe mills. It resists the abrasion caused by abrasive flux materials and the radiant heat generated during high-amperage welding. The design features appropriate geometry to prevent flux bridging or clogging, ensuring that gravity feeds the material smoothly into the nozzle assembly. This specific unit is designed for direct compatibility with the ESAB A2 Series, including the popular A2 Multitrac and A2 Tripletrac systems, guaranteeing a hassle-free installation without the need for retrofitting or adapters.

Maintenance managers and welding engineers understand that using genuine ESAB parts extends the lifecycle of their capital equipment. The 0332837001 Flux Hopper meets all original factory specifications for fit, form, and function. Whether you are replacing a damaged unit or stocking critical spares to prevent production downtime, this hopper is an essential item for any facility utilizing ESAB's A2 automation technology. Trust Josef Gas to supply the industrial-grade components necessary to keep your automated welding lines moving efficiently.

FAQ

This hopper is specifically designed for the ESAB A2 series of submerged arc welding equipment, including the A2 Multitrac and A2 S Mini Master.

No, this part number (0332837001) typically refers to the hopper container assembly itself. Nozzles and hoses are usually sold separately or as part of a different assembly.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB part, ensuring perfect compatibility and durability for your A2 system.

It is constructed from a durable, industrial-grade composite material designed to withstand the heat and abrasion associated with welding environments.

The A2 and A6 systems often have different component sizes. It is recommended to check your A6 parts manual, but this specific part is designated for the A2 series.

The hopper attaches to the mounting bracket on the A2 welding head. Installation is straightforward and uses the existing mounting points on your machine.

A damaged hopper can restrict flux flow or allow moisture ingress. Consistent flux flow is required to shield the arc and shape the weld bead properly.

Most ESAB hopper assemblies include the necessary lid to prevent contaminants from entering the flux, but verify the specific contents upon arrival as packaging can vary.
