30338 - ESAB Thermal Dynamics Air Regulator and Filter Assembly with Bracket

Precision Air Management for Plasma Systems

The ESAB 30338 Regulator-Filter Assembly is a critical component designed to ensure the longevity and performance of high-precision plasma cutting equipment. In plasma cutting, the quality of the air supply is paramount; moisture, oil, and particulate contamination can rapidly degrade electrode and nozzle life, leading to poor cut quality and increased operating costs. This assembly addresses these challenges by integrating a robust filtration unit with a precise pressure regulator.

Engineered to OEM specifications, this unit provides stable air pressure regulation, smoothing out fluctuations from the shop air supply that could otherwise destabilize the plasma arc. The integrated filter element effectively captures condensation and debris, ensuring that only clean, dry air reaches the torch head. This is essential for maintaining the energy density of the plasma stream and preventing 'double arcing' caused by conductive impurities.

The assembly comes complete with a heavy-duty mounting bracket, pre-configured for easy attachment to compatible ESAB and Thermal Dynamics power sources. This eliminates the need for custom fabrication during replacement. Whether you are performing maintenance on a legacy machine or upgrading an existing air inlet system, the 30338 offers a reliable, all-in-one solution for pneumatic control.
