The Tweco Eliminator Compact Fume Extraction MIG Gun (SKU: 1048-1235) is engineered to address one of the most critical safety challenges in the welding industry: hazardous fumes. Designed for high-amperage applications, this 400 Amp air-cooled gun features an integrated vacuum chamber that captures particulate matter and smoke directly at the source—the weld pool. This "source capture" method is widely recognized as the most effective way to protect the welder's breathing zone and maintain cleaner shop air, ensuring compliance with stringent occupational safety regulations.
Unlike traditional fume extraction guns that can be heavy and cumbersome, the Eliminator Compact series prioritizes operator comfort. The handle is significantly reduced in size and weight, offering a feel closer to a standard MIG gun. This ergonomic improvement reduces wrist strain and fatigue during long shifts, allowing welders to maintain precision and productivity without compromising on safety. The patented ball-and-socket cable connection further enhances maneuverability, making it easier to weld in out-of-position scenarios.
This model comes equipped with a 15-foot cable and a Euro-Kwik back-end connection, making it instantly compatible with a wide range of wire feeders that utilize the European standard port. It is set up for 0.035" to 0.045" wire diameters, covering the most common industrial fabrication needs. The adjustable vacuum shroud allows the operator to fine-tune the suction flow, ensuring that fume capture is maximized without disrupting the shielding gas envelope essential for a quality weld.
