Miller Fume Extractor FILTAIR 130 300595

Bought this fume extractor and it is worth every penny! A lot quieter than expected, very powerful and well built. All I did was attach the hose, plug the machine in to the outlet and it was running like a charm out of the box. This fume extractor sucks! hahaha Seriously, it's a great piece of hardware for the shop and I would recommend purchasing it. It also weighs 46 pounds which is beneficial for moving it around without breaking a sweat. Careful using it too close to your shielding gas welding because it can suck the gas right up in it (trust me on this lol). Thanks for reading!

We recently picked this unit up to act as a source capture for some mechanized FCAW we are performing in a confined space. In our shop mock up of the weld system we set up this fume extractor to verify it was going to work for our application, this first thought when we turned it on was just how quiet this little guy is! It's no louder than a small shop vac, maybe quieter. As for how much pull it has, we ran it through the 17' hose and the magnetic nozzle, you need to have it within about 6" of the nozzle for best results, but it successfully captured a majority of the weld fume. The flow does not seem to be strong enough to disturb shielding gas, at least not in the configuration we were using. Hopefully it can withstand the true test of 48 hours continuous welding!
