KP1673-5 - Lincoln Electric Prism Aluminum Pre-Filter & Spark Arrestor

Optimize Your Fume Extraction with the Lincoln KP1673-5

The Lincoln Electric KP1673-5 Pre-Filter is an essential component designed to maximize the efficiency and safety of your welding fume extraction system. Engineered specifically for the Prism® Mobile and Prism® Wall Mount units, as well as select Mobiflex and Statiflex models, this filter serves as the first line of defense in your air filtration process. It is constructed from a robust aluminum mesh that is fully washable, allowing for repeated use and a significant reduction in long-term consumable expenses.

In industrial welding environments, sparks and heavy particulate matter are common byproducts that can pose a threat to filtration equipment. The KP1673-5 functions primarily as a spark arrestor, cooling and stopping hot sparks before they can reach the combustible cellulose or fiberglass material of the main filter cartridge. This feature is critical for preventing internal fires and ensuring the safety of your facility. Additionally, by capturing larger airborne particles such as grinding dust and heavy soot, it prevents the main filter from clogging prematurely, thereby extending its operational life and maintaining optimal airflow.

Maintenance of the KP1673-5 is straightforward. The aluminum mesh can be easily removed, cleaned with a mild detergent or compressed air, and reinstalled, ensuring your system remains operational with minimal downtime. Whether you are performing heavy fabrication, structural welding, or general maintenance, integrating this pre-filter into your Prism system is a smart investment in equipment longevity and shop safety.
