Little giants of the MMA welding world
Minarc 150 and 220 Classic MMA welding machines are light in weight, robust, durable and impact resistant, ideal for workshop and site environments.
Superior arc performance based on high voltage reserves and automatic ‘Arc Force’ control, guarantee the arc will remain stable in all welding positions, even when connected with extra-long welding and power cables, up to 100m.
Automatic Hot Start gives perfect ignition in all conditions and the Anti-sticking function decreases the risk of the MMA electrode sticking to the base material and aids short arc control. Protection against overload, humidity and dust ingress, gives excellent reliability, and TIG welding is made possible with the scratch -TIG function and GV TIG torches. Minarc 220 features a remote-control option.
Specified Minarc Classic models feature VRD function (Voltage Reduction Device), lowering the open circuit voltage for welding environments that may present wet, damp or humid conditions. Minarc 151 Classic is designed to be used with 110V site transformers.
Impact-resistant
Minarc 150 features an impact-resistant case and control protection.

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.
