Tech Support
Many fabricators process metal that’s rusty, dirty, and pitted—whether it’s from buying secondary mill material, which is often delivered corroded, or whether it’s material that’s rusted from sitting in the yard after delivery.
Even sandblasting material to clean it up may not be a solution when shops don’t have air conditioning or heating to control the temperature, or doors that are often open, letting in dust and humidity as they move material.
This leads to a question that we are often asked. Can our CNC tube plasma cutting machines process rusty or dirty material?
The answer is yes, absolutely! In fact, the majority of EMI customers use our machines to process this type of material, every day and without issues.
Cutting secondary, dirty, rusty pipe in shops without climate control is the norm rather than the exception. So our CNC tube plasma cutting machines are engineered to perform reliably in the most challenging environments and when working with far-from-perfect material.
All critical machine components are protected and feature sealed, air-conditioned electric cabinets to prevent overheating. With basic regular maintenance, EMI tube plasma cutting machines will operate consistently run after run, even when your environment and the material you’re working with is less than optimal.
The Bottom Line: Tube Plasma Cutting Dependability You Can Count On
No matter the conditions, EMI CNC tube plasma cutting machines will rise to the occasion. We build them with reliability in mind to deliver better performance, less maintenance, and far fewer downtime incidents than other manufacturers’ equipment.
