951517 - Miller Filtair SWX-S Self-Cleaning Fume Extractor with 10ft Standard Arm

Miller Filtair SWX-S Single Arm Fume Extractor Overview

The Miller Filtair SWX-S (951517) is a premier wall or column-mounted fume extraction solution designed specifically for industrial welding environments. This package includes the high-performance SWX-S self-cleaning filter cabinet, a powerful FEB-1 blower, and a 10-foot standard extraction arm. Engineered for durability and efficiency, the system utilizes Miller's proprietary FilTek™ XL Filter Technology, which offers a MERV 15 rating to capture up to 95% of weld fume particulates, including sub-micron sizes often found in hexavalent chromium and manganese fumes.

Self-Cleaning Technology

The standout feature of the SWX-S model is its self-cleaning mechanism. Ideal for high arc-on time environments, this system uses a reverse pulse of compressed air to clean the filter from the inside out. The one-minute cleaning cycle is activated by a simple push-button on the control panel, dislodging particulate matter into an integrated disposal drawer. This feature not only extends the life of the filter—up to two times that of treated cellulose filters—but also ensures consistent suction power is maintained throughout the filter's lifespan.

Standard Extraction Arm & Performance

This package comes equipped with a 10-foot standard fume extraction arm (SA-W810-WM). Unlike internal support arms that restrict airflow, this arm features external adjustments, allowing air to pass through with minimal resistance. This design contributes to the system's class-leading suction power, generating 1,200 CFM at the fan and an Accu-Rated™ minimum of 875 CFM at the hood. The arm is easy to position and stays in place, while the durable bellmouth-shaped hood rotates 360 degrees to capture fumes effectively from any angle.

Installation and Specifications

Designed for ease of integration, the SWX-S operates on standard 115V single-phase power. The system is intended to be mounted on a wall or column, saving valuable floor space in manufacturing and fabrication shops. The unit requires a compressed air supply for the self-cleaning mechanism. With its robust construction and superior filtration capabilities, the Miller Filtair SWX-S is an essential asset for maintaining regulatory compliance and a clean working environment.
