Powerful but precise
The Minarc M gives you the freedom to take 220 Amps wherever you need to weld. The Minarc M 233P model offers the versatility and control of pulse welding.
Light but tough
Weighing just 11 / 12 kg, the Minarc M is ready to go and offers one of the best power-to-weight ratios in its class. Despite its sleek looks, the robust casing and metal wire-feeder mechanism are built to endure and keep going.
Simple but brilliant
Minarc M offers fast set-up, big controls for ease-of-use, and a large, clear digital screen and visual interface. True to Kemppi arc quality, MIG welding with the Minarc M is stable, precise and easy to control.
Exceed Expectations
Minarc M is a single-phase 110V/230V MIG/MAG machine that delivers serious power in a compact, portable package. With two models weighing just 11 and 12 kg, and up to 220 A of output, it offers one of the best power-to-weight ratios in its class. The precise digital wire feed control and wide range of filler materials & curves enable a variety of high-quality welding applications.
Built for real site treatment, Minarc M features a robust casing and a high-strength metal wire-feeder mechanism. Designed to get you welding fast; thanks to a large, easy-read display and clean controls that keep setup simple and downtime to a minimum.
Need more cooling control and process versatility? The Minarc M 223P steps up with pulse welding capability, a Euro-connector, and an optional cooler which is ideal for fabrication environments where consistency and finish quality are non-negotiable. Both models come as a ready-to-weld package with the power source, gas hose, drive rolls, shoulder strap, earth return, power cable, separate pistol grip and gun package.
Exceed expectations with Kemppi’s Minarc M: the small but mighty MIG.
Strong, robust and lightweight
This new machine is perfect for welders on the move: it features 220 amps welding power, can withstand knocks and bumps and is lightweight (11/12 kg)

How Rapid Welding and Kemppi Built a Partnership That Lasts
Rapid Welding has worked with Kemppi since the company opened in 1990. Co-founder and Managing Director Roy Edwards highlighted the principles behind that 36-year partnership, from choosing the right welding solution and supporting equipment throughout its life to addressing the skills shortage and finding the right place for automation and laser welding.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
