The Tweco Compact Eliminator (Model ELC425116) is a high-performance MIG welding gun designed specifically for source capture of welding fumes. Engineered for heavy-industrial applications, this 400-amp air-cooled gun integrates a vacuum chamber and shroud directly into the nozzle assembly, allowing it to remove hazardous particulate matter and gases before they enter the welder's breathing zone. This specific configuration comes with a 25-foot (7.6-meter) cable assembly and is set up for running 1/16-inch (1.6mm) welding wire, making it ideal for high-deposition structural steel or flux-cored applications.
The "Compact" (ELC) designation refers to the handle ergonomics, which are streamlined to reduce operator fatigue—a common complaint with traditional, bulkier fume extraction torches. The gun utilizes Tweco's proven consumable platform, ensuring easy availability of replacement contact tips, nozzles, and diffusers. The vacuum shroud is adjustable, allowing the operator to fine-tune the balance between fume capture efficiency and shielding gas coverage, ensuring weld quality is maintained even while extracting smoke.
Constructed with a durable coaxial cable, the Eliminator withstands the rigors of shop floor abuse while maintaining flexibility. The backend is a standard Tweco connection, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of wire feeders and power sources equipped with Tweco-style receptacles. For facilities prioritizing occupational health and safety compliance (OSHA/hexavalent chromium control), the Tweco Eliminator is a critical tool in the welding arsenal.
