cut 50 plasma cutter

[Frank S]

Whats the set up for filters on plasma cutters to remove moisture from air? What type of filters should be used in home use? I have a new plasma cutter and 150L compressor but not sure on filter set up.

For most of the newer plasma cutters if you drain the tank regularly and have a water trap drop canister where the air enters from the top through a tube than extends down into the trap several inches and has a couple of perforated disks the air has to pass through before exiting the top of the trap the goes to an inline filter like those used for paint guns at a regulator then this will be sufficient. Older early generation plasma cutters were ultra sensitive to any moisture some even required bottled gas that had been scrubbed dried and purified to establish a stable plasma stream.
I use my Miller Spectrum all the time without even having a filter other than the small canister filter inside the machine with a little 120 volt 5 hp compressor
