optional accessories:
Bubble muffler - When used in conjunction with a water pump recirculating water
from the table and by using compressed air, this device creates a bubble of air which
enables a PT-36 Plasmarc Cutting Torch to be used underwater with less sacrifice of cut
quality. This system also permits operation above water as the flow of water through
the muffler reduces fume, noise, and arc U.V. Radiation.

air curtain - This device when supplied with compressed air is used to improve the
performance of the PT-36 Plasmarc Cutting Torch when cutting underwater. The de-
vice mounts onto the torch and produces a curtain of air. This allows the plasma arc to
operate in a relatively dry zone, even though the torch has been submerged to reduce
noise, fume, and arc radiation. to be used in underwater applications only.
