K3965-1 - Lincoln X-Tractor 3A High Vacuum Fume Extraction Unit 230V

Industrial High-Vacuum Fume Extraction

The Lincoln Electric X-Tractor 3A (K3965-1) is a premier high-vacuum, low-volume weld fume extraction unit designed for the rigorous demands of industrial manufacturing. Engineered to capture welding fumes directly at the source, this system is optimized for use with fume extraction guns and suction nozzles. By utilizing high vacuum pressure, the X-Tractor 3A effectively removes particulate matter before it enters the welder's breathing zone or disperses into the facility, ensuring compliance with air quality standards and promoting a safer work environment.

At the core of the K3965-1 is a robust 230V, 3-phase motor operating at 60Hz, providing the consistent power necessary for continuous duty cycles in heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and structural welding applications. Unlike low-vacuum systems that rely on moving massive volumes of air, this high-vacuum unit focuses on high static pressure to pull fumes through smaller diameter hoses over longer distances, making it ideal for complex shop layouts where flexibility is required. The unit is capable of supporting multiple extraction points simultaneously, allowing several operators to work off a single central unit without a drop in performance.

Maintenance and efficiency are addressed through the integrated automatic filter cleaning system. This feature utilizes pulses of compressed air to dislodge particulate buildup from the filter cartridge, depositing it into a collection bin for easy disposal. This self-cleaning mechanism not only extends the lifespan of the filter but also ensures that the unit maintains peak extraction efficiency throughout the shift. The system includes an internal compressed air regulator and a starter/overload switch, providing a complete, ready-to-install solution for facility managers seeking to upgrade their air filtration infrastructure.

The X-Tractor 3A is housed in a rugged enclosure designed to withstand impact and harsh industrial conditions. Its compact footprint allows it to be positioned near workstations or mounted centrally without consuming valuable floor space. With its combination of powerful suction, automatic maintenance features, and industrial-grade electrical components, the K3965-1 represents a critical investment in occupational safety and process efficiency.
