Oxy-Fuel Cutting

Oxy-Fuel Cutting for Thick Heavy Plate

Proplate USA operates advanced oxy-fuel cutting systems capable of processing steel plate up to 300 millimeters thick. The facility features seven large cutting machines with tables reaching up to 42 meters in length and 5 meters wide, enabling efficient production of structural and manufacturing components.

Each system combines multiple propane oxy-fuel torches with high-definition plasma capabilities. According to the company, “oxy-fuel cutting is especially effective for industrial steel” components exceeding 60mm thickness.

The facility’s operational design allows simultaneous staging of multiple plates, reducing downtime while maintaining consistent production schedules.

A Reliable Method for Extremely Thick Plate

Gas cutting serves as the preferred approach for heavy plate beginning around 50mm. The process supports applications in structural fabrication, wear-resistant components, heavy equipment manufacturing, and energy industries.

Underwater Oxy-Fuel Cutting

Proplate USA employs underwater cutting to minimize heat-affected zones created during traditional oxy-fuel processes. The machines accommodate up to eight burners simultaneously, improving both safety and working conditions for operators.

Weld Preparatory Cutting

Bevel cuts for welded components can be produced directly within cutting machines using either oxy-fuel or plasma methods, delivering pre-fabrication-ready parts.

Large Format Cutting Tables up to 42 Meters

The facility’s seven modern machines support underwater cutting capabilities while maintaining precision for high-volume production.
