The ANM 2.0mm Cutting Nozzle is a professional-grade, two-piece nozzle-mix (NM) tip engineered for the South African structural steel, mining, and heavy engineering sectors. Designed for use with standard NM-style long-neck cutting torches, it is the primary choice for industrial burners who require a balance of high cutting speeds and vertical accuracy. The 2.0mm (5/64") orifice is the "heavy-duty workhorse" for fabrication, specifically calibrated to handle steel plate thicknesses ranging from 75mm up to 150mm.
Key Performance Features
- High-Pressure Oxygen Core: Features a precision-drilled 2.0mm central cutting oxygen port designed to maintain a stable, high-velocity jet that clears molten slag efficiently from deep kerfs.
- Heavy-Duty Solid Copper Construction: Manufactured from a high-purity copper alloy for superior heat dissipation, ensuring the nozzle remains dimensionally stable and cool during prolonged heavy-plate cutting.
- Six-Port Pre-Heat Configuration: Optimized for oxy-acetylene gas mixing, providing an intense, concentrated pre-heat flame that rapidly brings heavy sections to ignition temperature.
- Standard NM-Style Compatibility: Fully compatible with all major South African industrial cutting torches (NM250 and similar models) used in professional workshops and site maintenance.
Ideal Applications
- Heavy Structural Steelwork: The industry standard for cutting 75mm+ I-beams, thick-walled trusses, and industrial warehouse frames.
- Mining Equipment Maintenance: Perfect for cutting and prepping heavy-duty excavator buckets, structural plates for underground machinery, and conveyor supports.
- Heavy Agricultural Manufacturing: Ideal for fabricating heavy-duty multi-row plough frames and structural components for heavy trailers.
- Ship & Marine Maintenance: Provides the necessary cutting power for thick-walled hull sections and structural bulkheads in marine environments.
Product Benefits
- Clean Vertical Edges: The 2.0mm orifice produces a highly focused oxygen stream that minimizes "undercutting" and ensures a square exit on the underside of thick plate.
- Efficient Gas Consumption: Engineered for maximum thermal efficiency, allowing the operator to reach ignition temperatures faster and complete cuts with less wasted fuel gas.
- Exceptional Service Life: The robust copper head is highly resistant to "spatter-clogging" and thermal deformation, making it a reliable long-term investment for high-volume workshops.
Pro Tip: For optimal performance on 100mm plate with a 2.0mm nozzle, ensure your Oxygen pressure is set between 4.5 and 5.5 Bar. Always use a Nozzle Cleaner to keep the six pre-heat ports and the central cutting port free of carbon buildup; a partially blocked port causes turbulence in the oxygen stream, which is the leading cause of "ragged" cuts and excessive slag adhesion.
