K2751-3 - Lincoln DownFlex 400-MS/A Automatic Cleaning Downdraft Table

Industrial Fume Extraction and Workbench Solution

The Lincoln Electric DownFlex 400-MS/A (K2751-3) represents a significant advancement in shop floor safety and efficiency. Designed for the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication, this unit functions as both a robust workbench and a high-capacity fume extraction system. By integrating the extraction directly into the work surface, the DownFlex 400-MS/A captures welding fumes and grinding dust at the source, preventing them from rising into the operator's breathing zone or dispersing throughout the facility. This approach is often more effective than overhead hoods for smaller assemblies, as it utilizes gravity and downward airflow to manage heavy particulates.

The "MS/A" designation indicates a Mechanical system with Automatic cleaning. This is a critical feature for high-production environments. Unlike manual systems that require downtime for filter maintenance, the K2751-3 utilizes an onboard compressed air system to periodically pulse-clean the filter cartridges. This automatic cleaning cycle dislodges accumulated particulate into the collection trays, maintaining optimal airflow and extending the lifespan of the filter media. This feature significantly reduces maintenance man-hours and ensures consistent performance throughout the workday.

Versatility is a core component of the DownFlex design. It is engineered to handle multiple processes including:

• Welding: Captures smoke from Stick, TIG, MIG, and Flux-Cored processes.
• Grinding: The integrated spark arrestor and heavy particulate drop-out make it safe for grinding operations.
• Plasma Cutting: Effective at capturing the fine, high-velocity smoke generated during manual plasma cutting.

The unit is constructed with a durable grid and backdraft panel, creating a containment zone that pulls air away from the user. The three-stage filtration system ensures that the air returned to the shop environment is clean, helping facilities meet OSHA and local air quality regulations. For industrial operations looking to maximize floor space while prioritizing worker safety, the Lincoln DownFlex 400-MS/A is a premier choice.
