Plasma Consumables Opens a Refill Plan Matched to Torch Series

KEMPTON PARK: Most cutting shops find out they are short of nozzles on the morning a nest has to go out. Plasma Consumables, a trade counter in Kempton Park near O.R. Tambo, runs a refill subscription that puts electrodes, nozzles, shields, swirl rings and retaining caps on a standing order sized to how a shop really cuts.

The plan starts from five questions: which torch series is on the floor, the usual amperage band, cutting hours per week or month, the main material and thickness range, and whether the work is mostly production cutting, short runs, fine-cut detail or marking. A shop piercing short runs all day wears parts differently from one running long straight nests on mild steel plate, so the first allocation is based on current burn rate and adjusted once real usage shows up.

Stock is grouped by torch family. M1 covers 30 to 45 A hand torches, M2 covers 60 to 85 A, M3 covers 105 to 125 A machine torches, M4 covers 200 A mechanised torches and M5 covers fine-cut and marking setups. Shops running more than one torch type can mix series in one plan, and bulk packs come in where monthly volume justifies them.

“We look at the worn parts before we look at the order,” said the company’s counter coordinator. “If the electrode is pitting early, sending more electrodes is not the answer. Air quality or the wrong amperage is usually the first thing to check.”

The counter sells consumables only, not machines, tables, power units or repairs. Orders can be collected in Kempton Park or sent by courier to every province.

The full range by torch series is on the Plasma Consumables website. Plasma cutting machines and other workshop equipment are available through am.co.za.
