FILTAIR 2000-12000 Centralized Weld Fume Extraction Systems ®

Custom-Engineered Solutions to Fit Your Needs Compliance and regulations have increased awareness and the need for fume extraction. FILTAIR Centralized Weld Fume Extractors can improve your operating efficiency in many ways, including: • OSHA and EPA compliance • Higher productivity, more motivated employees and fewer absences • Less downtime spent cleaning welding helmet lenses and equipment • Cleaner shop equipment • Lower insurance premiums

Industrial Strength Fume Extraction Each FILTAIR® Industrial Centralized Weld Fume Extractor model moves large volumes of air making it an ideal solution for industrial applications. Five base models ranging from 2,000 to 12,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) can be customized for a wide variety of welding environments. FILTAIR extraction arms remove welding fumes at the welding “source.” Drawing the welding fumes from within 6 to 18 inches of the welding arc, each arm connects to the central FILTAIR filtration units through a network of ducts. This allows a single extraction unit to remove fumes from multiple welding sources.

FILTAIR Industrial Centralized Weld Fume Extractors offer: • Custom-engineered solutions to fit your needs

- Configured to source capture weld fume



- Configured for ambient collection

• 65% smaller footprint than cartridge units •H  igher-efficiency filtering that reduces operating costs •S  uperior suction power to ensure long-lasting airflow

Unlike any other in the industry, our design provides up to a 65% smaller footprint versus the traditional cartridge filter collector. Not only saving space but also providing a completely packaged system with unsurpassed performance.

FILTAIR 2000-12000 extractors utilize premium high-efficiency motors and standard integrated silencer housing to reduce sound for a safer, more productive work area. Note: Quietest operation is while filtering. Pulse cleaning cycle has a higher noise level than filtering.

Traditional 8-cartridge filter collector

Smaller package, bigger savings FilTek™ XL revolutionary filter pack technology allows for its expanded filtration ability to be packed into a significantly smaller space. Combined with its exceptional MERV rating of 15, this technology allows one filter pack to replace up to three traditional cartridge filters.

Cleaner Air with FilTek™ Filters The FilTek XL Filter’s Higher MERV Rating Means Unrivaled Filtering Performance. Filters are rated on a MERV scale which measures filter efficiency based on particle count. MERV ratings range from 1-16, with 16 being the best at filtering small particles - such as those found in weld fumes. The vast majority of weld fumes are less than one micron in diameter, or roughly 1/100th the width of a human hair. Filters in common air filtration systems often have MERV ratings between 7-11. FilTek XL filters are rated at class-leading MERV 15-16 to capture up to 95% of weld fume particulates.

Up to 95% of welding particles generated in your welding environment are smaller than

one micron in size.
