MARATHON PACS NOW AVAILABLE TO MID-VOLUME FABRICATIONS
30 June 2007 - ESAB Group

ESAB Marathon Pacs with 250 or 475 kg of wire considerably enhance productivity and quality for large-volume users of stainless steel MIG welding wire, and now mid-volume users can enjoy the same advantages without the consumption requirements and capital investment associated with the full-size Marathon Pacs.

ESAB's Mini Marathon Pacs have 100 kg of wire and can be used with all of the accessories that have been developed for use with the 250 kg Marathon Pacs.

Compared with traditional spools, Marathon Pacs substantially reduce the number of times the welding process has to be halted for the wire to be changed. Not only does this save downtime and labour, but it also reduces the number of fabrications that have to be scrapped or reworked as a result of the wire running out.

Additional benefits accrue because the wire in the Marathon Pacs is wound in such a way as to give low-force feeding over long distances, straight wire delivery and consistent wire positioning, there is less wear on the welding equipment compared with the use of spools, a more stable arc with less spatter, plus the packaging design protects the wire from contamination.

There are currently four grades of stainless steel wire of 1.0 or 1.2 mm diameter are available in 100 kg Mini Marathon Pacs suitable for manual, semi-automated and robotic welding applications.
