Appleton, Wis., October 13, 2009—Miller Electric Mfg. Co. today introduces the latest in its line of welding fume extraction devices, the FILTAIR™ 130. Designed specifically for welding, the FILTAIR 130 provides contractors, maintenance and repair operations and other intermittent welding applications with the highest level of fume filtration in its category in a light and portable package.
Whereas nearly 90 percent of welding fumes are between .1 and .4 microns, the FILTAIR 130 captures particles down to .1 micron, compared to competitive units that only capture particles .4 microns and larger.
For reduced operator downtime and maintenance costs, the FILTAIR 130 features a quick manually cleanable filter using compressed air for extended filter life. The FILTAIR 130 is easily carried or rolled wherever welding is required. Plus, the unit’s variable speed 1hp motor filters up to 132 CFM at just 68.5 decibels, making it one of the quietest units available.
The FILTAIR 130 comes with a standard 8-ft. collection hose; also available are optional 17- and 34-ft. hoses, all of which connect to funnel or slotted nozzles or a fume extraction welding gun.
