KP1673-1 - Lincoln Electric KP1673-1 MERV 14 Cellulose Filter for Mobiflex & Statiflex

Technical Overview of the Lincoln Electric KP1673-1

The Lincoln Electric KP1673-1 is a high-efficiency replacement filter cartridge engineered specifically for the Mobiflex® 200-M, Statiflex® 200-M, and Prism® series of fume extraction systems. This unit represents the core filtration component for these industrial air quality devices, designed to meet rigorous MERV 14 standards. The filter utilizes a cellulose-based media that has been treated with Lincoln's proprietary ExtraCoat® technology. This treatment is critical for industrial applications as it conditions the filter surface to release dust more effectively during the cleaning cycle (if applicable to the system configuration) and resists moisture absorption, thereby extending the operational lifespan of the cartridge.

From a specification standpoint, the KP1673-1 boasts a filtration efficiency of 99.8%, with the capability to capture up to 84% of airborne particulates in the 0.3 to 1.0-micron range. This level of filtration is essential for compliance with industrial hygiene standards regarding welding fumes, particularly those containing hexavalent chromium or manganese. The physical dimensions of the cartridge are approximately 23.72 inches in height by 21.65 inches in width and depth, providing a substantial surface area for particulate loading. This large surface area helps maintain a lower pressure drop across the filter, reducing the strain on the extraction motor and maintaining consistent airflow (CFM) at the extraction hood.

The product is supplied as a complete maintenance kit. Recognizing the hazards associated with handling saturated filters loaded with heavy metal particulates, Lincoln Electric includes a disposal bag, a dust mask, and protective gloves within the packaging. This ensures that maintenance personnel can perform the change-out procedure while adhering to safety protocols, minimizing direct contact with hazardous waste. The unit weighs approximately 60.63 lbs, reflecting the density and quality of the filtration media packed into the frame.
