One of the biggest risks facing metal fabricators today isn’t machine failure — it’s unknowingly using fake Hypertherm consumables. They’re cheaper, sure. But they’ll cost you way more in the long run.

Here’s the truth: counterfeit consumables look very similar to the real thing. But inside, they’re made with low-grade materials that burn out quickly and damage your torch. We’ve seen it too often in shops across Faridabad and Delhi — cut quality drops, nozzles wear out after a few jobs, and the torch fails before its time.

So how do you spot the fakes?

• Packaging: Original Hypertherm parts come in sealed, well-marked packaging with part numbers and branding.

• Price: If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.

• Dealer: Only buy from authorised suppliers. Trusted names like EGP Sales Corporation are known for supplying 100% genuine parts.

• Performance: If your cut quality is suddenly inconsistent or the parts don’t fit right, they may be fake.

Protect your torch and your business — stick to authentic Hypertherm consumables. They’re tested, reliable, and designed for long-term performance.
