The Model 500 Python Micro-Pleat fume extractor is engineered for applications that require heavy-duty and high volume fume extraction. This powerful air purification system is capable of providing up to 1300 CFM of air volume and is available in various source-capture configurations. One popular option is a 12’ L by 6” diameter flame-retardant, flexible “python” hose, which is available in singular, dual, and quad options to accommodate one or more operators.
This system is equipped with cleanable Micro-Pleat Series 1 Particulate Filters and is designed for applications such as production welding (MIG, TIG, Stick, Plasma Cutting), grinding, powder weighing, some dust collection applications, multiple operator fume extraction (classroom settings, multiple soldering, welding, and brazing stations), and more. Over a year of research and testing was performed in developing this particulate media filter.
The Particulate Filters are engineered to be easily cleaned with the use of pressurized air. This form of self-contained cleaning does not require removal of the filters; the operator simply sprays air into the filter media to clean and rejuvenate them while excess dust and waste falls into the internal dust pan, allowing for simple and clean debris removal. The included magnehelic gage is an excellent tool for determining filter saturation. Once the pressure levels begin to increase, the operator can clean the filters and the pressure reduction will be noted on the gage.
The Model 500 is portable and requires no exterior-ducting or makeup air. Heavy-duty locking casters and a variety of extraction arm options make this fume extractor the perfect solution for applications that require a powerful respiratory engineering control with maneuverability. This unit comes equipped with a Variable Speed Controller and Magnehelic Gage.
The Model 500 is also available with Activated Carbon Filtration.
