K3972-5 - Lincoln X-Tractor Mini Portable Fume Extractor with EN 20 Nozzle

High-Vacuum Portable Fume Extraction for Industrial MRO

The Lincoln Electric X-Tractor Mini (K3972-5) is a high-performance, portable fume extraction system engineered for light-duty welding applications and maintenance operations. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, this unit combines a powerful 2.4 HP motor with a multi-stage filtration system to effectively remove welding fumes and particulate matter at the source. The system delivers a substantial airflow of 95-108 CFM, ensuring efficient capture of hazardous contaminants in confined spaces or hard-to-reach areas where traditional overhead hoods are impractical.

At the core of the X-Tractor Mini is its advanced filtration capability. The unit utilizes a LongLife-H main filter coupled with a HEPA filter, achieving a filter unit efficiency of 99.7%. This high level of filtration ensures that recirculated air is clean and safe for shop employees. The system is also equipped with a pre-filter to capture larger particles, extending the life of the main filters. A key technical feature is the integrated Current Sensor, which provides automatic start/stop capability. By sensing the welding current through a sensor hook laid across the welding lead or ground cable, the extractor activates only when an arc is struck and deactivates approximately 10 seconds after the arc is extinguished. This feature not only conserves energy but also reduces background noise and extends the lifespan of the motor brushes.

Operational maintenance is streamlined through intelligent design features. The Carbon Brush System monitors brush consumption and provides alerts based on 750 run hours, preventing unexpected downtime. Additionally, the System Airflow Check allows operators to easily observe extraction performance and determine when filter maintenance is required. Weighing approximately 40 lbs and running on standard 120V single-phase power, the X-Tractor Mini is a versatile tool for contractors, maintenance crews, and fabrication shops requiring mobile, high-vacuum fume control.
