KP1852-1 - Lincoln Electric Activated Carbon Odor Filter for Prism and Mobiflex Extractors

Advanced Odor Control for Industrial Fume Extraction

The Lincoln Electric KP1852-1 Activated Carbon Filter is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the capabilities of Prism Mobile, Prism Wall Mount, Mobiflex 200-M, and Statiflex 200-M fume extraction systems. While standard cellulose or polyester filters are highly effective at trapping particulate matter and metallic fumes, they often allow gaseous contaminants and strong odors to pass through back into the facility. This activated carbon element addresses that gap in filtration by utilizing the principle of adsorption, where gas molecules adhere to the vast internal surface area of the carbon media.

This filter is particularly engineered for applications involving the welding of galvanized steel, which is notorious for producing unpleasant and persistent odors. It also aids in the reduction of ozone and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during the arc welding process. The KP1852-1 is designed as an outer layer that fits snugly over the primary filter cartridge (specifically models KP1673-1 MERV 14 and KP1673-9 MERV 16). This configuration allows the primary filter to handle the heavy particulate load while the carbon layer polishes the air stream of gaseous impurities before it is recirculated.

Industrial hygiene and safety are prioritized not just during operation, but also during maintenance. Saturated carbon filters can retain concentrated contaminants. Recognizing this, Lincoln Electric supplies the KP1852-1 as a complete maintenance kit. Each package includes a high-quality dust mask, protective gloves, and a heavy-duty plastic disposal bag. This ensures that the technician replacing the filter is protected from exposure to the concentrated fumes and dust trapped in the old element, facilitating a compliant and safe disposal process.

By integrating the KP1852-1 into your facility's air filtration strategy, you ensure a more comfortable working environment, reduce complaints regarding process odors, and extend the functional versatility of your existing Lincoln Electric extraction equipment.
