Why this machine
Extends equipment life
Reduces thermal stress on the torch and cable assembly, per the manufacturer's stated benefit of extending equipment life.
Portable between setups
At 17kg and 457 x 254 x 330mm, it's compact enough to move between a water-cooled MIG or TIG torch as needed.
AWS CoolMate 9L: a water cooler for welding machine and torch setups that need active cooling
The AWS CoolMate 9L (item code WRC-300D) is Amalgum Welding Shop’s own-brand water cooler for welding machine and torch setups that run water-cooled. It circulates coolant through a water-cooled MIG or TIG torch and back through its own radiator, holding the torch at a safer operating temperature so it can run harder for longer without cutting out on heat.
What does a water cooler for a welding machine actually do?
It pumps coolant through the torch’s water lines and back through an internal radiator, pulling heat away from the torch tip and cable during high-amperage or high-duty-cycle work. A water-cooled torch cannot function without one — it will overheat almost immediately if run dry or without circulation.
Do I need a water cooler, or is my air-cooled torch fine?
Only if your torch is specifically a water-cooled model, such as our MB501 water-cooled MIG welding torch. An air-cooled torch has no coolant lines and gains nothing from a cooler. If a high-amperage, high-duty-cycle job keeps tripping your air-cooled torch on heat, moving to a water-cooled torch plus this cooler is the standard fix.
What's the cooling capacity of the CoolMate 9L?
3,760W maximum cooling capacity at a coolant flow rate of 1.7L/min, from a 9-litre reservoir. Housing is rated IP21 for basic dust and splash protection.
What welding setups is it compatible with?
AWS states the CoolMate 9L is compatible with “various welding setups” without naming specific machines or torch models on the spec sheet. Confirm your torch’s water-line fittings and connector type against the CoolMate before ordering — send us your torch model or a photo and we’ll check compatibility first.
What's the input power and protection rating?
220V ~ 50/60Hz single-phase per the AWS spec sheet. The unit’s own rating plate states AC 230V, 1~50/60Hz with a rated current of 0.4A — both figures sit within normal single-phase supply tolerance, so either reading is fine on standard South African 220–230V power. Protection rating is IP21.

Common questions
Before you buy.
What is a water cooler for a welding machine, and do I need one?
It's a unit that circulates coolant through a water-cooled welding torch to stop it overheating during high-amperage or high-duty-cycle work. You only need one if your torch is a water-cooled model — an air-cooled torch has no coolant lines and gains nothing from it.
Which welding torches and machines is the AWS CoolMate 9L compatible with?
The AWS spec sheet states it is compatible with "various welding setups" without naming specific machines or torch models. Send us your torch model or a photo and we'll confirm fitting and connector compatibility — including with our own MB501 water-cooled MIG welding torch — before you order.
What is the cooling capacity of the CoolMate 9L?
3,760W maximum cooling capacity at a coolant flow rate of 1.7L/min, from a 9-litre reservoir.
Is the input voltage 220V or 230V?
The AWS spec sheet states 220V ~ 50/60Hz, while the unit's own rating plate states AC 230V, 1~50/60Hz with a rated current of 0.4A. Both figures sit within normal single-phase supply tolerance for standard South African 220–230V power — ask us if you're unsure.
What protection rating does the housing have?
IP21 — basic protection against dust ingress and dripping water, suited to workshop use rather than open outdoor exposure.
What's included in the box?
Box contents aren't listed on the AWS spec sheet. Ask us to confirm exactly what ships with the unit before you order.
What warranty applies?
Warranty and return terms for this unit haven't been confirmed yet. Ask us for the written terms before you buy — your rights under South African consumer law still apply regardless.
