0155966001 - ESAB Paper Filter Bag for Origo Vac C10

Technical Overview of the ESAB 0155966001 Filter Bag

The ESAB 0155966001 is a specialized paper filter bag engineered for use with the ESAB Origo Vac C10 mobile fume extraction unit. In the hierarchy of filtration within the Origo Vac system, this bag serves as the primary collection stage. By capturing the majority of coarse and medium-sized particulates generated during welding and grinding operations, it plays a critical role in maintaining the system's overall pneumatic efficiency and longevity.

Constructed from high-density filtration paper, the bag is designed to withstand the abrasive nature of metallic dust while allowing sufficient airflow to maintain the vacuum pressure required for effective fume capture at the source. The structural integrity of the paper ensures that the bag does not burst under the pressure of the vacuum, even as it nears capacity. This component is essential for protecting the downstream main filter (often a cartridge or HEPA filter) from becoming rapidly clogged with bulk debris, thereby extending the service intervals and reducing the total cost of ownership for the extraction unit.

From a maintenance perspective, the 0155966001 facilitates the safe and hygienic disposal of collected hazardous materials. Welding fumes often contain hexavalent chromium, manganese, and other toxic elements; containing these within a sealed, disposable paper bag minimizes the operator's exposure during maintenance cycles. The bag is designed for a precise fit within the Origo Vac C10 housing, ensuring a proper seal that prevents particulate bypass and ensures that all aspirated air is properly routed through the filtration media.

Regular replacement of this filter bag is mandated by the manufacturer's maintenance schedule to prevent excessive backpressure on the vacuum motor. Running the unit with an overfilled bag can lead to reduced suction velocity at the extraction hood, compromising the capture zone and potentially exposing the welder to fugitive fumes. Therefore, stocking genuine ESAB 0155966001 bags is a standard requirement for any facility utilizing the Origo Vac C10 for source-capture fume extraction.
