Cutting Nozzle ANM 3,2mm

The ANM 3.2mm Cutting Nozzle is a heavy-duty, two-piece oxy-acetylene tip engineered for the South African mining, heavy engineering, and scrap-metal sectors. Designed for use with standard long-neck ANM-style cutting torches, it is the primary choice for professional burners who require maximum heat and oxygen velocity to pierce and cut extremely thick steel. The 3.2mm (1/8") orifice is the "powerhouse" of the ANM range, specifically calibrated to handle massive plates ranging from 150mm up to 300mm in thickness.

Key Performance Features

• High-Volume Oxygen Orifice: Features a precision-bored 3.2mm center channel designed to deliver a massive, high-pressure oxygen stream capable of "blasting" through the thickest structural sections.
• Reinforced Solid Copper Construction: Manufactured from a heavy-gauge copper alloy for superior thermal conductivity, ensuring the tip remains cool even during prolonged "deep-cut" operations.
• Multi-Port Pre-Heat Design: Specifically engineered to provide a wide, intense pre-heat flame, essential for bringing heavy-duty mild steel plates to ignition temperature rapidly.
• Standard Industrial Compatibility: Fully compatible with all major South African NM-style (Nozzle Mix) torches used in heavy-duty workshops and site maintenance.

Ideal Applications

• Heavy Mining Maintenance: The industry standard for cutting through heavy-duty excavator buckets, thick-walled crusher components, and underground mining equipment.
• Industrial Demolition & Salvage: Perfect for dismantling heavy-duty I-beams, thick structural columns, and large-scale scrap metal processing.
• Ship Repair & Marine Salvage: Provides the extreme cutting power required for thick-walled hull plating and heavy-duty marine structural frames.
• Heavy Foundry Operations: Ideal for removing massive "risers" and "gates" from large-scale steel and cast iron castings.

Product Benefits

• Maximum Piercing Power: The 3.2mm orifice provides the sheer volume of oxygen needed to "pierce" thick plate without the molten metal "blowing back" and clogging the tip.
• Extreme Heat Resistance: The heavy-walled copper construction is designed to withstand the intense reflected heat generated when cutting deep into large steel masses.
• Square, High-Velocity Cut: Produces a powerful, focused stream that ensures a clean exit on the underside of thick plate, reducing the need for expensive post-cut remediation.

Pro Tip: When cutting 200mm+ plate with a 3.2mm nozzle, ensure your Oxygen pressure is set between 6.0 and 8.5 Bar to maintain the velocity needed to clear the kerf. For maximum safety and performance on heavy cuts, always use a High-Flow Flashback Arrestor and ensure your gas cylinders have sufficient volume to maintain the high flow rate required by this nozzle.
