Portable unit filters out welding fumes

Portable welding fume extraction system filters contaminated air and re-circulates it into the work area, resulting in a cleaner environment for welders.

Portable welding fume extraction system filters contaminated air and re-circulates it into the work area, resulting in a cleaner environment for welders.

Lincoln Electric announces the Mobiflex fume extractor, a portable, low vacuum system designed for the intermittent and continuous removal and filtration of welding fumes.

Designed to reduce welding dust, smoke and fumes in the work environment, Mobiflex securely filters contaminated air and re-circulates it into the work area.

With proper use, this could result in a cleaner work environment and significant energy cost reduction.

Its lightweight and rugged design, along with standard rear wheels and front caster wheels, make it easy to move.

The Mobiflex is great for shops, such as maintenance departments and general fabrication and welding shops, that need a mobile fume extraction system.

With the combination of the mobility of the unit and the flexibility of the extraction arms available in 3.1m (10ft) and 4.1m (13ft), the welding point is easier to reach.

The Mobiflex increases worker flexibility through its ability to adapt to various work locations and arc welding applications, including stick (MMA), TIG, MIG and flux cored wire.

The Mobiflex is available in two models.

The Mobiflex 200-M draws air through the extraction arm and spark arrestor, capturing welding fumes inside the unique LongLife filter.

Particulates are collected on the inside of the cartridge, keeping hands clean during filter maintenance.

The Mobiflex 400-MS uses a RotaPulse self-cleaning filter process.

The cleaning of the filter is done segment by segment, with compressed air, and results in a consistently high airflow.

When the filter becomes dirty, a pressure sensor activities the cleaning system.

Compressed air from the tank releases through multiple air jets to clean one section of the filter at a time.

A complete cleaning cycle can be activated by a manual switch.

Dust is knocked off of the cartridge into a plastic bag accessed through a hatch at the bottom.
