CK652-1 - Lincoln Electric X-Tractor 1GC Portable Welding Fume Extractor 120V

Efficient Fume Management for Light Duty Applications

The Lincoln Electric X-Tractor 1GC (CK652-1) is a high-vacuum, low-volume portable fume extractor designed specifically for the needs of light-duty welding environments. Engineered for versatility and ease of use, this unit is an essential addition to small fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and home workshops where air quality and safety are paramount. Operating on standard 120-volt power, the X-Tractor 1GC offers a plug-and-play solution that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without the need for complex electrical installations.

One of the standout features of this unit is its intelligent Automatic Start/Stop Sensor. This system detects when welding begins and activates the extraction only when needed. This not only conserves energy but also significantly extends the lifespan of the motor and reduces background noise in the facility. When the arc is extinguished, the unit powers down, ensuring that resources are not wasted during downtime. This feature makes the X-Tractor 1GC a cost-effective choice for businesses looking to optimize their operational efficiency.

Maintenance is often a pain point with fume extraction systems, but Lincoln Electric has addressed this with a unique Filter Cleaning System. The unit utilizes a rotary air jet system that allows the internal polyester filter to be cleaned using compressed air without ever having to remove it from the machine. This innovative design keeps the filter functioning at peak efficiency for longer periods and prevents the operator from coming into direct contact with captured particulates during cleaning. The result is a cleaner shop environment and lower long-term consumable costs.

Designed for portability, the X-Tractor 1GC is compact enough to be moved easily between workstations. It is compatible with a single fume extraction welding gun or a suction nozzle attachment, providing flexible options depending on the specific welding task. With a sound level of less than 74 dBA, it operates quietly, minimizing disruptions and allowing for better communication on the shop floor. For facilities requiring a reliable, low-maintenance solution for welding fume control, the X-Tractor 1GC delivers professional-grade performance in a compact package.
