45001010 - Tweco TSC-96 Portable Welding Fume Extractor 120V

Industrial-Grade Air Quality Management

The Tweco TSC-96 Smoke Collector (Part Number 4500-1010) represents a critical investment in industrial hygiene and worker safety. Designed to address the rigorous demands of modern fabrication environments, this unit provides targeted source capture of welding fumes, ensuring that hazardous particulates are removed from the breathing zone before they can disperse into the facility. By utilizing a standard 120V power input, the TSC-96 offers exceptional versatility, allowing maintenance teams and fabricators to deploy high-efficiency filtration exactly where it is needed without requiring specialized high-voltage electrical drops.

In the context of regulatory compliance, maintaining air quality below permissible exposure limits (PELs) for substances such as hexavalent chromium and manganese is paramount. The Tweco TSC-96 aids facilities in meeting these OSHA and safety standards by capturing fumes at the source. This method is widely recognized as the most effective engineering control for welding emissions. The unit's portable nature means it can be easily maneuvered around large workpieces or moved between workstations, ensuring that safety protocols are maintained regardless of the project's physical constraints.

Tweco has long been a standard-bearer in the welding industry, known for producing equipment that withstands the harsh conditions of metalworking shops. The TSC-96 is built with this heritage in mind, featuring durable components designed for longevity. For facility managers, this translates to reduced downtime and lower long-term maintenance costs. The system effectively filters out smoke and particulate matter generated during MIG, TIG, and Stick welding processes, returning cleaner air to the environment and protecting not only the welder but also sensitive equipment that can be damaged by the accumulation of metallic dust.

Investing in the Tweco TSC-96 is an investment in workforce efficiency. Clean air contributes to better visibility and reduced operator fatigue, leading to higher quality welds and increased productivity. Whether used in a dedicated welding cell or for on-site maintenance repairs, this smoke collector delivers reliable performance that professionals trust.
