Water cooled MIG torches have longer
hoses
Normally MIG welding torches are available in 3 or 4,5m lengths, but a Finnish manufacturer has introduced 6m and 8m hoses with its water-cooled 300A and 600A models.
Kemppi (UK), the Bedford based welding equipment manufacturer and subsidiary of Finland's Kemppi OY, has launched two new revolutionary water cooled 300A and 400A MIG welding torches called 'WeldsnakeT, which are able to reach 6m and 8m from the wire feed unit Normally MIG welding torch hoses are available in 3 or 4.5m lengths only, unless you use a push pull motor in the welding gun when longer lengths are available

Aluminium welds are spatter-free
When one of the World's leaders in On and Off-Road motorcycles, CCM Motorcycles, needed to improve production outputs they turned to Kemppi's PRO 4000 Synergic MIG welding equipment.
'WeldsnakeT' has no push pull motor in the torch, but relies on Kemppi's torch construction techniques and their new DL-teflon low friction liner with its two layer construction, which reduces the force required to push wire through the feed line to about 1/6th of normal, making it ideal for feeding 1.2mm aluminium and 1.0mm-1.2mm stainless steel welding wires.
This new liner all but eliminates wire feed and contact tip problems such as pinching and grabbing.
'WeldsnakeT' is lightweight, well balanced and has been designed to fit the welder's hand with a non-slip surface handle.
It is supplied with a Euro connector, so that they are compatible with most MIG/MAG welding machines equipped with a Euro connector.
