Underwater cutting system Broco

- Approved for Navy Use (ANU)
- Cut, pierce or gouge underwater
- Safer, faster, lower operating costs


Broco Underwater systems easily cut sheet pile, remove tubular supports, trim damaged propellers and more. Slag free gouging means safe and easy weld removal and edge preparation. ANU (Approved for Navy Use) designated and featured in the U.S. Navy's "Underwater Cutting and Welding" manual, the Broco Underwater Ultrathermic Cutting System is used by navies around the world.

 

Consisting of the Cutting Torch, High-volume oxygen Regulator, UW/KS Knife Switch, and Ultrathermic Cutting Rods, the Broco Underwater system provides the fastest, most efficient and cost effective means of completing underwater tasks involving cutting, piercing, or gouging.

The Ultrathermic Cutting Rod produces a temperature in excess of 10,000° F - hot enough to quickly cut or melt through almost anything including cast iron, stainless steel, brass, other ferrous and non-ferrous metals and concrete. 10,000° F means more cut per inch of rod than any other on the market. The Ultrathermic Cutting Rod cuts through marine growth, rust, and mill scale eliminating the need for pre-cleaning and helping lower operating costs and reducing bottom time.

The Underwater Ultrathermic Cutting System uses only oxygen and maximum of 150 amps. Other equipment may require as much as 500 amps to cut. Our Ultrathermic Cutting Rod readily ignites from a spark generated by a 12 or 24 volt auto or marine battery and will continue to burn with electrical current removed until the flow of oxygen is stopped or the rod is consumed. The need for expensive support equipment is reduced while a safer diving environment is maintained. The recommended oxygen working pressure of 90 psi over bottom economizes oxygen consumption.
