Filtering units

Extractability, a division of Weldability-Sif, is a UK based ‘one stop source’ for welding fume extraction solutions. The company has announced the ProtectoCube, a new product line of filtering units equipped with filter cartridges, applicable for almost every task in the area of fume and dust extraction.

 

The first range of products in the ProtectoCube series has been launched under the ECOCUBE range. ECOCUBE is a complete filter unit, inclusive of a fan and filter cartridges. Polluted air is extracted by means of the ventilator and guided towards the filtering section.

The welding fumes are deposited on the surface of the filter cartridge, which is then cleaned automatically by a blast of compressed air. This detaches the welding fumes, and pushes them into a dust collecting tank. Cleaned air is recycled to the working space without any heat loss.

Suitable for use as the central suction unit for several manual welding stations with extraction arms, the unit can also be used as the suction unit for welding robots, cabins, extraction hoods and cutting tables.

The main parts of the ECOCUBE are the fan, pneumatic housing, filter section including cartridges, sparklatch and dust collecting section as well as the control unit for filter cleaning. The system will be delivered ready for connection: only the system modules must be placed and connected. The housing consists of a stable steel plate construction and is powder coated, and the control unit is delivered completely present and ready to go.

The control element is specially developed to monitor and control the filter unit. All functions can be easily accessed and adjusted according to the operation parameters. The ECOCUBE is equipped with filter cartridges of the filter category BIA M, and a special auxiliary filtering substance is coated on these cartridges while at the factory.

The ECOCUBE’s extraction capacity is 3500 / 4000 / 5000m3/h, and the filter capacity is greater than >99%. It can be purchased with a motor power of 2.2, 3 or 4kW and the noise level with the nozzle installed is 78dB(A). It weighs 130kg and the filter surface area is 40-80 m².

As well as this, the ECOCUBE’s filter unit can be purchased separately, as the ECOBLOCK. The ECOCUBE’s fan, too, can be purchased on its own, as the FAN-BLOCK. Additional to the low vacuum solution, the FAN-BLOCK is supplied as a central high vacuum exhaust fan that is robust, powerful and suitable for continuous operation. It is delivered in silence housing, and the static and dynamics of every fan have been balanced to ensure that it runs quietly and smoothly.
