The ESAB Mounting Flux Hopper A2 (SKU: 0147645003) is a critical structural component designed for the A2 series of submerged arc welding (SAW) equipment, including the A2 Multitrac and A2 Tripletrac systems. In automated welding environments, the precise delivery of flux is paramount to achieving weld quality, slag coverage, and arc stability. This mounting assembly provides the necessary mechanical interface to secure the flux hopper to the welding head, ensuring that the gravity-feed mechanism remains aligned with the contact tip and the weld seam.
Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous OEM specifications, this part is engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of heavy industrial fabrication. The assembly is constructed from high-grade materials that resist deformation under the load of a full flux hopper, which is essential for maintaining consistent flux burden height over the arc. Misalignment or instability in the hopper mounting can lead to irregular flux coverage, resulting in porosity or flash-through, thereby compromising the integrity of the weldment.
This component is supplied as a direct replacement for worn or damaged mounting brackets. It integrates seamlessly with existing A2 system architecture, requiring no modifications for installation. Maintenance personnel and welding engineers can rely on this genuine ESAB part to restore the structural integrity of their automated welding tractors, minimizing downtime and ensuring compliance with welding procedure specifications (WPS) that demand consistent equipment performance.
