A system for performing exothermic operations or oxygen delivery uses a rod and handle configuration to create a flowpath of oxygen. The rod includes cables having stainless steel fibers that burn using the oxygen within a hollow center area. While burning, the rod cuts through material. A sheath covers the covers to contain the gases and prevent unraveling of the cables. The handle attaches to the rod and provides control of the flow of oxygen to the rod. A manifold fixing in place bottles of oxygen connects to the handle and can be fixed to provide different mixtures from different bottles. The rod is disconnected when needed to fix a mask thereto for delivering breathable oxygen to a patient.

Automated systems and methods for making cuts in large masses of materials, including lateral cuts to reduce the lengths of steel slabs and produce therefrom slabs of desired sizes for producing steel plates. Such a system includes an apparatus having a support that supports the material, and a torch arm translatable in a Y-direction of the material and supporting a torch that emits a torch flame to make a cut in a Z-direction of the material while supported by the support. The apparatus has a deburring device associated with the torch arm and translatable in the Y-direction to perform a deburring operation by emitting an oxidizing gas stream that simultaneously removes burrs along the lateral cut produced by the torch in synchrony with translation of the torch in the Y-direction as the lateral cut is produced by the torch to oxidize the burrs before the burrs solidify.

The invention relates to an ozone supply unit (26) for a flame burner apparatus and/or an oxygen cutting apparatus (10), comprising an oxygen inlet (28) to be supplied with oxygen (18), an ozone generator (32) coupled to the oxygen inlet (28) and configured to convert at least a part of the oxygen (18) supplied to the oxygen inlet (28) into ozone (18a), and an outlet (30) coupled to the ozone generator (32), wherein the outlet (30) provides at least a part of the oxygen (18) supplied to the oxygen inlet (28) and at least a part of the ozone (18a) converted by the ozone generator (32). The ozone supply unit (26) is configured to be integrated into a flame burner apparatus and/or an oxygen cutting apparatus (30). The invention further relates to a method for supplying ozone to a flame burner apparatus and/or an oxygen cutting apparatus (30).
