CK2389-1 - Miniflex Activated Carbon Filter for Odor and Ozone Removal

Advanced Gas and Odor Filtration for Welding Environments

The Lincoln Electric FAC HV (Carbon Filter), identified by SKU CK2389-1 (often cross-referenced as KP2389-1), is a specialized filtration accessory designed for high-vacuum fume extraction systems such as the Lincoln Miniflex. While standard cellulose or HEPA filters are excellent at capturing solid particulates like metal oxides and soot, they are ineffective against gases, vapors, and odors. This activated carbon filter bridges that gap, providing a critical layer of protection against volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and noxious smells generated during the welding process.

Constructed with high-quality activated carbon media, this filter offers a vast surface area for adsorption. It is particularly effective at neutralizing ozone, a common byproduct of TIG welding and aluminum welding, which can cause respiratory irritation and headaches. The filter is designed to fit seamlessly into the FAC HV and Miniflex units, often installed as a final stage or supplementary stage depending on the specific machine configuration. Regular replacement of the carbon filter ensures that the recirculation of air within the shop remains pleasant and safe for operators.

Integrating this carbon filter into your fume management strategy helps maintain compliance with air quality standards and improves the overall working environment. It is an OEM-quality component ensuring perfect fitment and optimal airflow characteristics, preventing unnecessary strain on the extractor's vacuum motor.
