The Lincoln Electric KP3370-3 is a high-performance replacement filter cartridge engineered specifically for the Statiflex Filter Bank system. In the realm of industrial hygiene and welding safety, the quality of air filtration is paramount. This cartridge features a MERV 16 (High Efficiency) rating, making it capable of capturing extremely fine particulate matter generated during complex welding processes. By utilizing a thermal bonded PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane, the filter operates on the principle of surface loading rather than depth loading. This technology allows the filter to capture particles on the surface of the media, which significantly enhances the effectiveness of pulse-cleaning systems, thereby maintaining lower pressure drops and extending the usable life of the filter.
With a massive surface area of 161 square feet, the KP3370-3 is built to handle high-volume fume extraction without choking airflow. This is critical for maintaining the capture velocity required at the hood or extraction point to ensure welder safety. The design improvements over its predecessor, the KP3370-2, focus on longevity and ease of maintenance. The PTFE membrane is inherently more resistant to the sticky nature of certain welding fumes, allowing for more efficient cleaning cycles. When it is finally time to replace the unit, Lincoln Electric has prioritized safety and convenience. The cartridge comes with a complete replacement kit, including a dust mask, protective gloves, and a heavy-duty plastic bag for the containment of the spent filter, ensuring that hazardous particulates are not re-released into the facility during maintenance.
This filter is an essential component for facilities utilizing the Statiflex Filter Bank in demanding environments. It is ideally suited for heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and robotic welding cells where fume generation is continuous and dense. The cartridge features distinct color-coded bands and a sturdy pull-strap, simplifying the identification and physical removal process for maintenance personnel. By investing in MERV 16 PTFE filtration, facilities can ensure compliance with air quality standards and provide a safer, healthier working environment for their staff.
