K1655-9 - Lincoln Electric LFA 4.1 Prism Wall-Mount Extraction Arm, 13 ft

Industrial Air Quality Solutions

Maintaining a clean and safe environment in industrial welding facilities is paramount for compliance and worker health. The Lincoln Electric Prism Wall-Mount Fume Extraction Arm (K1655-9) offers a robust solution designed to capture welding fumes directly at the source. By removing hazardous particulates before they enter the welder's breathing zone or disperse into the general facility air, this extraction arm is a critical component in a comprehensive industrial hygiene strategy. Its wall-mounted configuration is particularly advantageous for facilities looking to maximize floor space, keeping aisles clear for forklifts and personnel while providing overhead extraction capabilities.

The LFA 4.1 model features an impressive 13-foot (approximately 4 meters) reach, providing extensive coverage for large work bays. This extended range allows operators to work on substantial assemblies without the need to constantly reposition the base unit or struggle with limited reach. The arm is constructed with a sophisticated internal balance system that ensures stability once positioned. Unlike inferior arms that may drift or sag over time, the Lincoln Prism arm remains fixed in place, ensuring consistent fume capture without requiring constant readjustment by the operator. This stability translates to better workflow efficiency and higher adherence to safety protocols.

Durability is a key factor in the design of the K1655-9. Industrial environments are tough on equipment, and extraction arms are often subjected to impact and abrasion. Lincoln Electric has engineered this arm with dent and scratch-resistant materials, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and extending the service life of the unit. The integrated baffle system allows for precise airflow management, enabling facility managers to balance the ventilation system effectively. Whether used in heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, or automotive repair, this extraction arm delivers the reliability and performance expected from the Lincoln Electric brand.

Investing in the Prism Wall-Mount Extraction Arm is an investment in workforce longevity and operational efficiency. By effectively mitigating welding fumes, businesses can reduce the risk of occupational health issues, improve visibility at the arc, and maintain a cleaner shop environment. The unit's design facilitates correct positioning—recommended at 6 to 12 inches from the source—ensuring optimal capture velocities and protection for the entire team.
