Plasma torch for thermal spraying

Longterm collaboration between ProjectSoft HK a.s. company and the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IPP) resulted in the development of a hybrid plasma system WSP^®H 500 usable namely in plasma spraying and plasma treatment of materials.

Hybrid plasma torch WSP^®H 500 combines the benefits of gas and water vortex stabilization of plasma, providing unique features:

1. Extremely high thermal output (enthalpy) of plasma
2. Exceptionally low argon consumption compared to competitive plasma systems (no other gases needed)
3. Plasma formed from water vapor – only 3 liters of water needed for one hour of operation
4. High power enabling the deposition of more than 30 kg of powder per hour

ProjectSoft HK a.s. company specializes in industrial automatization and developed the control and cooling systems for the hybrid plasma torch. IPP is a Czech public research institute with more than 30 years of experience in the research of thermal plasma with extreme temperatures and with the development of plasma systems for heavy-duty thermal spraying. Our customers benefit from the joint know-how of ProjectSoft HK a.s. and IPP, as we are not only the re-sellers, but primarily co-authors of the whole system!

Systems delivered so far serve in institutional research laboratories as well as in industrial production. The latest unit was installed in 2022 in Japan, designed for highthroughput manufacturing of ceramic components used in the electrotechnical industry.
