Refill subscription
Our refill subscription keeps plasma consumables moving into your shop on a standing order matched to torch series, amperage range and weekly cutting hours. We adjust pack sizes as your workload changes so you are not left with the wrong mix of electrodes, nozzles and support parts.
What the refill subscription covers
This service is for shops that burn through the same consumables every week or month and want stock planned properly instead of buying ad hoc. We supply plasma consumables only, grouped by torch series, and build the refill around the parts you actually replace: electrodes, nozzles, shields, swirl rings and retaining caps.
Your plan is set against one series or a mix of series if your floor runs more than one torch type. We do not include plasma machines, cutting tables, power units, torches or repairs. The point is a clean consumables schedule with the right part count for the work you cut most often, not a general equipment account.
- Standing refills by torch series
- Single-site or multi-bay usage planning
- Bulk packs where monthly volume makes sense
- Consumable-life guidance tied to wear patterns
- Counter collection in Kempton Park or courier dispatch countrywide
How we size the standing order
We start with the torch series and the amperage band you cut in most of the time. After that we look at your average cutting hours, whether the torches are hand or mechanised, the material thickness range, and whether your work is mostly piercing, profile cutting, fine-cut detail or marking. Those points matter because wear does not land evenly across every part.
A shop cutting mild steel plate for long straight nests will consume differently from one doing short runs with frequent starts and stops. If your operators switch between standard cutting and finer kerf work the pack mix changes as well, so we do not force one fixed basket onto every account. The first allocation is based on your current burn rate, then tidied up once the first cycles show real usage.
- Torch series used on site
- Normal amperage range per torch
- Cutting hours per week or month
- Main material types and thickness band
- Typical jobs: production cutting, short-run work, fine-cut or marking
- Whether you want buffer stock held in the refill plan
From first brief to the first refill run
The process is straightforward. You send your torch series details and present usage through our contact form, then we map a starting pack list. If you already know your monthly counts by part type, that is ideal. If not, we can build from cutting hours and the wear pattern you are seeing on the floor.
Once the opening list is agreed, we set a refill frequency and note the pack sizes for each part. Some shops need a weekly top-up for electrodes and nozzles with a slower cycle for shields and retaining caps. Others prefer a larger monthly drop to reduce purchase admin. We keep the refill aligned with actual part movement and current shop usage.
After the first period, we review what moved and what sat. If nozzle wear is higher than expected, or if machine torch work picked up after a new contract landed, we adjust the next release. That is where the subscription earns its keep because the order can shift without the whole plan being rebuilt from scratch.
- Step 1: send torch series and usage details
- Step 2: receive a starting consumables mix by part type
- Step 3: approve refill frequency and pack quantities
- Step 4: collect from our Kempton Park counter or arrange courier dispatch
- Step 5: review wear and adjust the next cycle
What your shop should prepare
A useful refill brief includes the torch series, part numbers if you have them, current monthly usage, and a note on the jobs that push wear hardest. It also helps to mention whether compressed air quality is steady because poor air will shorten part life and can distort the numbers badly.
If your store room has mixed old stock, count what is still usable before starting the plan. That prevents over-ordering in the first cycle. For busy fabrication floors, a simple notebook tally from each bay is enough to get going. It need not be fancy.
- Torch series for each active torch
- Approximate monthly use by part type
- Material thicknesses cut most often
- Any shift changes affecting torch hours
- Current on-hand stock count
- Collection or courier preference
How pricing is worked out
Pricing is based on the parts in the refill, the pack size, and the expected volume over the chosen cycle. A larger, steadier draw usually suits bulk packing better than frequent small purchases, especially where the same electrode and nozzle set moves every period. If your plan covers several torch series, each line is priced on its own usage rather than blended into one vague figure.
There is no repair allowance or machine servicing bundled into this service because we do not sell those items. Courier charges, where needed, depend on destination and parcel size. Kempton Park counter collections remove that leg entirely. When your usage changes the rand value changes with it, so the refill can grow or shrink without forcing parts you do not need.
For shops running close stock control, we can structure the refill around a minimum holding level and a top-up quantity above that line. That keeps shelf stock sensible and makes month-end buying less erratic.
Aftercare and ongoing adjustments
The best refill plans are checked against real wear. If an operator starts changing electrodes earlier than expected, or if nozzles are showing uneven damage, the answer may be a quantity change or a cutting-condition issue rather than simply ordering more parts. Our consumable-life guides help your team read those signs and keep the refill honest.
As jobs shift through the year your standing order can be altered by series, by part type or by frequency. A shop that takes on more fine-cut stainless work for a quarter should not be held to the same mix it used on heavier plate the month before. Small corrections matter, and they stop dead stock from piling up at the back of the cage.
When you need a plan reviewed, send the latest counts through our contact form and we will re-balance the next cycle around what your floor is actually doing.

Questions we get asked
Can one subscription cover more than one torch series?
One refill can cover different torch series, with separate lines for each one so the counts stay accurate by part type and amperage range.
Do you include machines or torch repairs in the plan?
The subscription covers plasma consumables only. We do not sell machines, tables, power units or repair work.
What if our cutting volume changes during the month?
The standing order can be adjusted. Send the latest usage and stock counts through our contact form so the next refill reflects the change instead of repeating an old quantity.
