K4260-4 - Lincoln X-Tractor 1GC Portable Fume Extractor One-Pak with SHM-300 Nozzle

High-Efficiency Portable Fume Extraction System

The Lincoln Electric X-Tractor 1GC One-Pak (K4260-4) represents a sophisticated solution for localized fume control in light-duty industrial environments. Engineered as a high-vacuum system, this unit is specifically calibrated to remove and filter welding fumes at the source, utilizing high air speeds (4,000 to 5,000 FPM) to capture particulate matter effectively. The "One-Pak" configuration simplifies procurement by bundling the core X-Tractor 1GC unit with the essential SHM-300 Aluminum Suction Nozzle and a 16-foot flexible hose, providing a turnkey system immediately ready for deployment in maintenance shops, repair facilities, and general fabrication zones.

Technologically, the X-Tractor 1GC distinguishes itself with an intelligent Automatic Start/Stop Sensor. This sensor hook, when draped over the welding lead or ground cable, detects the magnetic field generated by welding current. It automatically activates the extraction turbine when the arc is struck and deactivates it approximately 10 seconds after the arc is extinguished. This feature significantly reduces energy consumption and extends the lifespan of the motor brushes and filter. Furthermore, the unit addresses the common challenge of filter maintenance with a built-in rotary air jet cleaning system. By connecting a compressed air line, operators can clean the polyester filter cartridge internally without removing it from the housing, ensuring consistent airflow performance and reducing downtime.

Weighing only 37 lbs, the X-Tractor 1GC is highly portable, allowing technicians to easily transport the unit between workstations or to remote areas within a facility. The system operates on standard 120V, 15-amp service, making it compatible with ubiquitous shop power outlets. The included SHM-300 nozzle features a magnetic mounting stand, allowing for precise positioning near the weld pool on ferrous materials, ensuring optimal fume capture efficiency. With a noise level of just 74 dBA, it maintains a comfortable working environment while delivering robust filtration capabilities for Stick, TIG, MIG, and Flux-Cored processes.
