K2497-14 - Lincoln Mobiflex 400-MS Mobile Fume Extractor Base Unit

High-Efficiency Mobile Fume Extraction for Industrial Environments

The Lincoln Electric Mobiflex® 400-MS (K2497-14) represents a significant advancement in mobile welding fume extraction technology. Designed for manufacturing facilities that require flexibility and high performance, this base unit serves as the foundation for a cleaner, safer work environment. The system is engineered to handle light to medium-duty welding applications, effectively capturing and filtering particulate matter before returning clean air to the facility. Its robust design incorporates a generous airflow capacity of 735 CFM, ensuring that fumes are pulled away from the operator's breathing zone efficiently.

A standout feature of the Mobiflex 400-MS is the RotaPulse® automatic filter cleaning system. In traditional units, filters can become clogged rapidly, leading to reduced suction and frequent downtime for maintenance. The RotaPulse system utilizes compressed air pulses to clean the filter from the inside out, dislodging particulate buildup into a collection bin. This mechanism maintains consistent airflow over longer periods and significantly extends the lifespan of the filter cartridge. Combined with a large filter surface area of 538 square feet (50 square meters), this unit offers a lower total cost of ownership by reducing the frequency of expensive filter replacements.

Safety and durability are paramount in the K2497-14's design. An internal spark arrestor acts as a pre-filter, preventing larger hot particles from reaching the main filter element, thereby reducing fire risks. The unit is mounted on a sturdy carriage with front casters and large rear wheels, allowing for effortless positioning around large workpieces or between different workstations. Please note that this SKU is the base unit; extraction arms (LFA 3.1 or 4.1) are typically selected separately based on the reach required for your specific facility layout.
