The ANM 2.4mm Cutting Nozzle is a professional-grade, two-piece oxy-acetylene tip engineered for the South African structural steel, mining, and heavy engineering sectors. Designed for use with standard NM-style (Nozzle Mix) long-neck cutting torches, it is the primary choice for industrial burners who need to balance high cutting speeds with clean, vertical edges. The 2.4mm (3/32") orifice is the "workhorse" for heavy-duty fabrication, specifically calibrated to handle steel plate thicknesses ranging from 100mm up to 200mm.
Key Performance Features
- High-Velocity Oxygen Stream: Features a precision-drilled 2.4mm central cutting oxygen port designed to maintain a stable, high-pressure 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 cool and dimensionally stable 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 thick-walled I-beams, bridge girders, and large-scale industrial trusses.
- Mining Equipment Repair: Perfect for cutting and prepping heavy-duty excavator buckets, structural plates for underground machinery, and conveyor frames.
- Heavy Agricultural Manufacturing: Ideal for fabricating heavy-duty multi-row plough frames and thick-plate structural components for grain trailers.
- Ship & Marine Maintenance: Provides the necessary cutting power for thick-walled hull sections and structural bulkheads in marine environments.
Product Benefits
- Clean Vertical Cuts: The 2.4mm orifice produces a highly focused oxygen stream that minimizes "undercutting" and ensures a square exit on the underside of thick plate.
- Reduced 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 resistant to "spatter-clogging" and thermal deformation, making it a reliable long-term investment for busy workshops.
Pro Tip: For optimal performance on 150mm plate with a 2.4mm nozzle, ensure your Oxygen pressure is set between 5.5 and 7.0 Bar. Always use a Nozzle Cleaner to keep the 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.
