Cutting Nozzle PNM 2,0mm

The PNM 2.0mm Cutting Nozzle is a professional-grade, two-piece oxy-propane tip engineered for the South African structural steel, scrap metal, and heavy engineering sectors. Designed specifically for use with Propane or LPG fuel gases in standard NM-style (Nozzle Mix) cutting torches, it is the primary choice for industrial burners who require a cost-effective, high-heat solution for thick steel. The 2.0mm orifice is precision-calibrated to handle steel plate thicknesses ranging from 75mm up to 150mm, providing a stable, high-velocity oxygen stream for clean dross-free edges.

Key Performance Features

• Two-Piece Propane Design: Features a heavy-duty copper outer sleeve and a fluted brass inner member, specifically designed to optimize the combustion of propane, which requires a larger volume of oxygen for the pre-heat flame.
• Precision 2.0mm Oxygen Orifice: Engineered to deliver a concentrated, high-pressure central jet that maintains its velocity through thick sections, ensuring a square exit and minimal "slag-stick."
• Advanced Fluted Pre-Heat Ports: The inner brass component features precision-machined flutes that create a stable, wind-resistant pre-heat flame, ideal for outdoor site work and shipyard environments.
• Corrosion-Resistant Copper Outer: Manufactured from high-purity copper for superior thermal conductivity, ensuring the nozzle remains cool during prolonged "deep-cut" operations on heavy structural beams.

Ideal Applications

• Heavy Structural Fabrication: The industry standard for cutting and prepping 75mm+ I-beams, thick-walled trusses, and industrial carports.
• Scrap Metal & Demolition: Perfect for dismantling heavy machinery, thick-walled storage tanks, and large-scale structural frames where propane is the preferred economical fuel.
• Agricultural Equipment Repair: Ideal for cutting through heavy-duty plough frames, tractor hitches, and earthmoving attachments.
• Mining & On-Site Maintenance: A reliable primary tool for mobile repair bakkies working in rugged environments where LPG/Propane is more readily available than acetylene.

Product Benefits

• Cost-Effective Operation: By utilizing Propane/LPG, this nozzle offers a significantly lower fuel cost per meter of cut compared to acetylene-based systems.
• Cleaner Cutting Edges: Propane produces less carbon soot, resulting in a cleaner cut surface that requires less post-cut grinding before welding or painting.
• Enhanced Safety: Propane is inherently more stable than acetylene for heavy-duty, high-heat cutting, reducing the risk of "backfire" in extreme industrial conditions.

Pro Tip: To achieve the best results with a 2.0mm PNM nozzle, ensure your Oxygen pressure is set between 4.5 and 6.0 Bar. Because propane is a "cooler" burning gas than acetylene, allow an extra 2–3 seconds for the pre-heat flame to bring the steel to a bright cherry red before engaging the cutting oxygen lever. Always keep the internal flutes clean with a soft wire brush to maintain an even pre-heat flame.
