Kemppi launches a renewed portable DC TIG machine and powerful carbon arc gouging machine

March 31, 2025

Kemppi is introducing the new small but mighty Minarc T 223 DC TIG welding machine. It has been designed for high-quality DC TIG and stick (MMA) welding applications, where small size and portability are primary considerations. Minarc T 223 DC models replace the legendary MinarcTig Evo models, which have served the TIG welding markets for over a decade.

At 9.6kg, the Minarc T 223 DC is easy to carry and protected by its tough and stylish molded casing. It is ideal for workshop and site welding applications, where multi-voltage connectivity provides optimal deployment usability.

  • The new Minarc for TIG welding offers a few key benefits for the market:

  • With a robust modern body, fast set-up, and simple controls, the Minarc T 223 DC helps every welder deliver a smooth, stable arc in all conditions.

  • Outputting 220 amps for only 9.6kg, the Minarc T 223 DC can be taken anywhere, and the welder can be confident it'll get the job done.

Every single Minarc is designed, engineered, built, and tested in Finland by Kemppi – from the first power circuits to the casing.

Minarc T 223 DC package has the DC TIG power source, a carrying strap, an earth return cable, a gas hose, and a Flexlite TX welding TIG torch (available in 4m or 8m lengths).

New Minarc T DC models are available at Kemppi dealers during April.

800 amps of carbon arc gouging power

With the new Minarc T DC models, Kemppi has also released a brand-new gouging machine. X3G FastGouge 800 offers a powerful, robust, and simple solution for heavy-duty carbon arc gouging applications.

Based on the X3 FastMig, launched last summer, the X3G FastGouge 800 meets the most challenging demands. It delivers exceptional carbon arc gouging performance with 800 amps of power and a 50% duty cycle.

Robust steel structure and dust filter guarantee a go-to gouging solution for professionals in marine fabrication, metal workshops, foundries, reclamation sites, and heavy structure fabrication.

The X3 FastGouge package includes a gouging power source, cable packages, and a gouging torch.

Also, the X3G FastGouge 800 is available at Kemppi dealers during spring.
