Solid wire bulk packaging
21 February 2014
Jumbo Marathon Pac 2 from ESAB Welding & Cutting Products is a GMAW bulk wire drum system that is designed to offer a high-productivity solution for continuous, high-volume welding applications.
The system is the next-generation of Marathon Pac, re-engineered to provide a more robust packaging design and to guarantee trouble-free feedability. It features a near-round shape that maximises packaging strength and minimises the impact of shipping and handling on wire feedability. An all-new decoiling system ensures high productivity by reducing feeding stops for continuous, trouble-free operation.
Jumbo Marathon Pac 2 increases welding efficiency by carrying more solid wire for a total load capacity of 500kg. The new system offers the same compact footprint as its predecessor and is fully compatible with all of its accessories, making it an effortless transition for current Marathon Pac users.
The main drum components are made of cardboard material with no metal parts and are foldable to assure easy disposal and recycling of the package material after use.
ESAB’s new Jumbo Marathon Pac 2 is suitable for the most demanding of production environments. It is also available in an 'endless' version, which makes it possible to combine the content of a series of Marathon Pacs to form a continuous, in-line supply source, virtually eliminating the need to stop for wire changes. The 'endless' version is suitable for multi-robot stations.
Jumbo Marathon Pac 2 is currently offered in a drum size of 500kg. The product offering will be extended to include a 250kg drum in the near future.
