K52011-1040 - Lincoln ST450 10x40 Downdraft Fume Extraction System with APC

Industrial-Grade Fume Extraction for Large Format Cutting

The Lincoln Electric ST450 10 X 40 SYSTEM w/APC (K52011-1040) represents a premier solution for managing industrial fumes and particulates generated during large-scale thermal cutting processes. Designed specifically to accommodate a massive 10-foot by 40-foot cutting area, this system is engineered to integrate seamlessly with high-capacity plasma and oxy-fuel cutting tables. The ST450 system addresses the critical need for air quality control in heavy fabrication environments, ensuring that smoke, dust, and hazardous particulates are effectively captured at the source before they can disperse into the facility.

Advanced Technology with APC

A standout feature of this system is the inclusion of APC (Automatic Pulse Cleaning) technology. In high-production environments, filter saturation is a constant challenge that can lead to reduced suction and increased downtime. The APC system automatically monitors filter pressure and initiates a reverse pulse of compressed air to clean the filter cartridges while the unit is in operation. This ensures consistent airflow, extends the lifespan of the filter media, and significantly reduces the frequency of manual maintenance interventions. The result is a system that maintains peak efficiency even during long, continuous cutting shifts.

Modular and Robust Design

The ST450 is built with a modular downdraft configuration, allowing for precise airflow management across the entire 10x40 footprint. This zoned approach ensures that suction is concentrated where it is needed most, improving capture efficiency and energy usage. Constructed from heavy-gauge materials, the system is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial manufacturing, including exposure to hot sparks, heavy plate loading, and abrasive dust. The system includes easy-to-access dust collection bins, making the disposal of accumulated particulate safe and straightforward.

Compliance and Safety

Implementing the Lincoln Electric ST450 system is a proactive step towards meeting OSHA and other regulatory standards for indoor air quality. By effectively removing thermal cutting fumes, facilities can protect the health of their workforce, improve visibility in the shop, and prevent the accumulation of conductive dust on sensitive electronic equipment. Whether used for mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum processing, the ST450 10x40 System delivers the reliability and performance expected from Lincoln Electric.
