K1653-4 - Lincoln Prism Mobile Fume Extractor Base Unit (MERV 14) - K1653-4

Advanced Mobile Filtration for Industrial Environments

The Lincoln Electric Prism Mobile (formerly known as the Mobiflex 200-M) Base Unit (K1653-4) represents a versatile solution for low-vacuum welding fume extraction. Designed specifically for smaller manufacturing facilities, fabrication shops, and training centers, this system addresses the need for effective particulate removal in variable locations. Unlike fixed overhead systems, the Prism Mobile can be easily maneuvered to the source of the fumes, providing targeted extraction that protects the operator's breathing zone. The unit operates on standard 120V, single-phase power, drawing only 7.6 Amps, making it highly compatible with existing electrical infrastructure in most industrial settings.

High-Efficiency MERV 14 Filtration

At the heart of the K1653-4 is its superior filtration capability. The unit comes equipped with a MERV 14 main filter, which is engineered to capture a minimum of 84% of airborne contaminants ranging from 0.3 to 1 micron in size. This level of filtration is critical for maintaining a safe working environment during MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux-Cored welding processes. The filter boasts an impressive surface area of 538 square feet, a design choice that significantly increases the dust-holding capacity. A larger surface area translates directly to reduced airflow resistance and longer intervals between filter changes, ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership for the facility.

Operational Safety and Maintenance

Lincoln Electric has integrated key safety features into the Prism Mobile to ensure reliable operation. An internal spark arrestor acts as a pre-filter, effectively trapping larger particles and preventing hot sparks from contacting the main filter media, thereby reducing fire risks. For maintenance efficiency, the unit features a color-coded filter status indicator. This visual gauge allows operators and maintenance personnel to monitor filter life at a glance, ensuring that the system is always running at peak efficiency. The housing is constructed from durable plastic designed to withstand the rigors of an industrial shop floor, while the front casters and large rear wheels provide exceptional mobility. Please note that this SKU is the Base Unit only; an extraction arm (available in various lengths) must be purchased separately to complete the system. This unit is not suitable for cutting or arc gouging operations.
