Wire feed units offer durability and
mobility
Kemppi, whose UK company Kemppi UK is based in Bedford has launched two new wire feed units, MF 29 and MSF 57, for its 3-phase 230V/440V FastMig Basic and Synergic MIG/MAG welding systems
The units are designed for use in industrial applications such as shipbuilding, offshore, transport and general fabrication industries The MF 29 wire feed unit is designed for the FastMig basic power sources KM300, KM400 and KM500 using 200mm wire spools and the MSF 57 for FastMig Synergic power sources KMS300, KMS400 and KMS500 using with both 200mm and 300mm wire spools

Lightweight welder can go anywhere
The Minarc 151 is a new 110V lightweight, MMA/scratch start TIG inverter welding machine.
Both units have a double skinned impact resistant plastic casing making them durable in both outdoor and indoor environments.
The MF29 is light weight and compact making it mobile and easy to carry.
It has the latest Duratorque 200 two roll wire feed mechanism with its low energy consumption motor and a very accurate gearing and transmission assembly enabling it to respond accurately to rapid wire feed acceleration and deceleration, making it easy to start and stop welding.
Due to its small size and weight, this feed mechanism has been specifically designed for smaller and lightweight welding machines.
The feed rolls are durable and the shape of their drive wheels allows the wire to be gripped without damaging the wire during feeding.
It can also be fitted with a gas flow regulator as an optional extra.
The MSF 57 has the Duratorque 400 four roll wire feed mechanism providing a steady and trouble free wire feed.
It has the option of either the SF54 or SF53 control panels.
Mounted on the front of the feeder the selected panel is protected by an impact clear plastic cover.
The SF54 has a digital display, stepless welding voltage and wire feed rate controls, gas test button, wire feed switch and a MMA welding option.
The SF53 panel is designed for the most demanding welding operations and has all the features of the SF54 panel plus crater filling, hot start, creep start, synergic programs for most materials as well as memory channels for saving MIG/MAG welding parameters.
As an option Kemppi's Fastroot software for root pass welding is available for the SF53.
This provides added productivity as well as fast control of root closure, especially when welding ferrous and stainless steel pipe.
Both wire feed units have optional hanging frames and protective slides for easy moving.
