How it Works

Combustion products jet through an engineered nozzle for approximately 2 seconds. The escaping jet is a combination of vaporized metal and particulate which quickly heat the target above its melting point and erodes the target material away.

Cartridges contain a unique thermite formulation for maximum temperature and velocity for optimized cutting performance. The cutting jet burns hotter than 4000°F. Cartridges are designed to contain this intense pressure and thermal energy safely within inches of the operator’s hand.

System Design

The cartridge is completely self-contained with an internal igniter. The handles supply a small amount of electrical power to the cartridge for ignition. Handles are designed with redundant safety features to ensure intentional ignition.

The system is designed to be COMPACT. At 1.5-inch diameter and an assembly length of 12-14 inches (depending on product options).

The system is designed to be SAFE. In-house and outside testing has been performed to verify function, reliability, and safety. We have put the product through a gamut of worst case and extreme scenarios to ensure operator safety.
