PERFORMANCE

Mechanical Filtering Technique

The LongLife® filter has a surface area of 50 m2 (164 ft2), making it one of the largest disposable filter cartridges in its class for collection of weld fume particulate. The combination of this with an ExtraCoat® pretreatment and the unique 3D-pleated structure results in a 99.8% filter efficiency, a longer life, and low operational costs. The ExtraCoat® pretreatment fills the micro pleats in the filter and reduces moisture. This increases its efficiency from the start of usage.

A pressure differential filter indicator located at front of unit, moves gradually from white to red as the filter becomes saturated with welding fume particulate, indicating when system maintenance and filter replacement is necessary. The washable aluminum prefilter sits inside the LongLife® filter to remove the large particulates and pro- vide spark entrapment.

Extraction Arms

No matter if you are working in a small work station, under a low ceiling, or in a large fabrication area, one of Lincoln Electric’s® various fume extraction arms for welding will work for you. The flexible extraction arms are built the Lincoln® way—rugged and reliable. Low vacuum extraction arms are designed for high vol- ume/low velocity air movement to enable the arm to be positioned at a distance of 6-12 inches (152-304 mm) from the welding source. Designed with the welder in mind, the arms provide welders optimal motion and reach for their specific welding position(s) and work area.

The arms come equipped with the 360° rotatable hood for optimal positioning to welding source. This allows a larger work envelope with less repositioning of the arm and increased operator visibility. With the extraction arm correctly positioned, the welding fume par- ticulate can be effectively drawn away from the operator’s breathing zone, as well as eliminate the residual fume particulate that often rises and hovers within the facility.

With a unique spring-balanced internal mechanism, Lincoln’s® fume extraction arms provide a long-lasting, user-friendly solution. The extraction arms external shell is made of solid, lightweight 203 mm (8 in.) diameter dent and scratch resistant tubing. Incorporated into the arm is an airflow throttle valve and extraction focus spoiler. A clear halogen lamp and automatic start/stop are available as rec- ommended optional features. With the use of an arc sensor, the system automatically starts and stops the fan unit, providing hands- free operation and helping to conserve energy. All this combined provides a highly effective system with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption to welder productivity.
