Fume Extractor with Large Capture Zone Increases Safety and Productivity

ZoneFlow technology in the SWX-ZF weld fume extractor from Miller Electric features a capture zone that’s over 3X larger than traditional systems.

With a capture distance up to 5 ft deep and 4 ft wide vs. the traditional 12 in to 18 in, ZoneFlow technology in a FILTAIR SWX-ZF stationary wall- or column-mounted weld fume extractor from Miller Electric moves clean air out of the arm at approximately a 90 deg angle, creating a large negative pressure zone or curtain that extends the capture distance and funnels weld fume particulate toward the center of the arm to be captured.

An expanded capture zone plays a critical role in an overall cleaner facility, leading to less maintenance and cleaner air throughout the workplace while also reducing arm interactions for improved productivity. Available in a disposable cleaning filter model in the FILTAIR® SWX-ZF stationary wall- or column-mounted weld fume extractor from Miller Electric Mfg. LLC (Appleton, WI), ZoneFlow technology features a capture zone that’s over 3X larger than traditional systems. With a capture distance up to 5 ft deep and 4 ft wide vs. the traditional 12 in to 18 in, operators prefer fume extraction equipment with ZoneFlow. Instead of having to constantly adjust the arm to be close to the source – or worse, not adjust it and be exposed to fumes – they can continue welding, improve productivity and stay protected. How does it work? ZoneFlow moves clean air out of the arm at approximately a 90 deg angle, creating a large negative pressure zone or curtain that extends the capture distance and funnels weld fume particulate toward the center of the arm to be captured.
