28X28 - Victor C-67-20 3-Hose Machine Torch for Propane/Natural Gas

Technical Overview of the Victor C-67-20 Machine Torch

The Victor C-67-20 Machine Torch is a specialized oxy-fuel cutting tool designed for integration with automated cutting machines, such as track burners, gantries, and beveling equipment. Identified by the internal SKU ESB28X28, this model is engineered specifically for use with alternative fuel gases, denoted by the "FG" designation. This includes Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene, making it an ideal choice for facilities that have moved away from Acetylene for cost or safety reasons. The torch features a 20-inch barrel length, providing adequate clearance and reach for standard industrial cutting tables and mechanized setups.

A defining feature of the C-67 series is its 3-hose configuration. Unlike 2-hose torches that mix gases internally or at the regulator for preheat, the 3-hose design supplies Cutting Oxygen, Preheat Oxygen, and Fuel Gas separately to the torch head. This separation allows for precise, independent adjustment of the preheat flame intensity without affecting the cutting stream pressure. This is particularly critical in automated applications where consistent travel speeds and cut quality are paramount. The torch is equipped with a standard gear rack, ensuring compatibility with most motor-driven torch lifters and carriages for smooth, jitter-free motion.

Constructed from high-grade brass and engineered with Victor's renowned quality, the C-67-20 is built to withstand the thermal stresses and physical demands of continuous industrial operation. The injector mixing system is optimized for the lower burning velocities of alternative fuels, ensuring a stable flame that resists flashback and pop-outs. With the correct cutting tips, this torch is capable of severing steel plates up to 8 inches thick, making it a versatile asset for heavy fabrication, shipyards, and structural steel manufacturing.
