Thermal cutting lances

The HOT SHOT Kit Prime-Cut has been revamped by BROCO.The manufacturer has added a spacious, higher quality carrying case that holds additional gear such as a regulator, clothing and everything else needed to get the job done. The welding gloves were also upgraded and the glasses were replaced with a protective mask. The central unit of the BROCO HOT SHOT kit Prime-Cut consists of the handle for the lances, which holds the burning rods with special collets and the integrated oxygen valve to regulate oxygen supply towards the end of the lances. The 3 meter long oxygen pipe, which is connected to the handle, is to be connected to a conventional oxygen pressure regulator. We screw the set together fitting to the European standards.(Pressure regulator and oxygen bottle are not included in the set)Functioning:The following articles and accessories are required to work with Hot-Shot thermic lances:Art-No 60300 - Hot-Shot KitBattery with min. 12 volt and 10 Ah. A battery for motorbikes with these characteristics is sufficient.Oxygen bottle (the size depends on the quantity of material you want to cut and existing means of transport /space.Pressure regulator for oxygenAppropriate quantity of thermic cutting rods for the planned application Connect the pressure regulator to the oxygen bottle and the end of the oxygen hose to the exit of the pressure reducer. The clamps of the strike plate and the handle of the tool are connected to the battery according to the colour code (red to +, blue to -). Select the appropriate cutting rod and collet depending on the object you want to cut. Unscrew the nut of the handle in order to place the collet then tighten the nut slightly. Now place the thermic rod in the collet (the hollow end of the rod must be placed in the collet/handle) and tighten the nut completely. Now open the valve of the oxygen bottle and adjust the level of oxygen pressure using the pressure reducer. Now touch the strike plate with the tip of the thermic rod in order to create short circuit sparks. Push the mechanism of the handle, in order to let the oxygen flow through the cutting rod and thus igniting the rod. It is possible to adjust the oxygen pressure again in order to start cutting. The higher the oxygen pressure /throughput, the higher the temperature at the tip of the rod. While higher temperature allows faster cutting it will also result in a faster burning of the thermic rod. In order to cut, place the tip of of the rod directly on the surface of the object you want to cut.  When selecting the thermic cutting rods to be used keep in mind that the diameter of the rod and the length of the rod, in combination with the oxygen pressure used, influence the speed of the cut. The oxygen pressure that is optimal depends on the material that is to be cut. The producer recommends the following approximate oxygen pressures for different types of metals: 0.6 - 1.4 bar for the punc  turing hard metal plates1.5 - 3.0 bar for the cutting of steel plates up to 0.7 mm thickness3.0 - 3.5 bar for the cutting of steel plates up to 15 mm thickness3.5 - 4.2 for the cutting of steel plates from 15 mm to 50 mm thickness4.2 - 5.5 for the cutting of steel plates over 50 mm thickness Unfortunately the producer does not give recommendations for the cutting of concrete, bullet proof glass or other materials. Users can quickly find out the optimal oxygen pressure through some short testing, though. 

 

 

Easylight 2 cutting rods are Broco's new and improved version of a torch that can be ignited by means of a 9V battery, a mechanical spark or a naked flame. This makes ignition much more convenient and quicker.The Easylight 2 thermal cutting rods were designed to fulfil the requirements, operations and capabilities of the user. Being a Broco product, Easylight 2 offers unequaled performance in terms of burn time, cut length per rod, evenness of combustion as well as minimal smoke.Advantages of the Easylight 2 cutting rods:• Easy to light with a 9V battery, mechanical spark or naked flame• No need for large battery, striker plate and cables• Long burn time - 1 minute, 30 seconds for more cuts per rod• Contain no hazardous substances• Consumes about 0.3 m³ O2 per rod• The cutting rods are easy to transport and store• Easylight 2 rods are approx. 610 mm long and have a diameter of 9.53 mm
