The Miller Filtair Capture 5 (951639) represents a significant leap forward in source-capture fume extraction. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of heavy equipment manufacturing, fabrication, and training centers, this unit addresses the primary limitation of traditional extraction arms: the capture zone. Standard arms typically require positioning within 12 to 18 inches of the arc to be effective. The Capture 5 utilizes exclusive ZoneFlow™ technology to create a negative pressure zone that extends the capture distance up to five feet deep and four feet wide. This is achieved by moving clean, filtered air out of the arm at a 90-degree angle, creating a "curtain" of air that funnels weld particulate toward the center suction intake. This expanded capture area ensures compliance with ACGIH recommended weld fume transport velocities while maintaining 900 CFM of airflow.
At the core of the Capture 5 is Miller's proprietary FilTek® XL Filter Technology. Unlike common cellulose filters that trap particles in the depth of the media (leading to rapid clogging), FilTek XL utilizes a surface-loading nanofiber media. This design captures up to 95% of weld fume particulate, including sub-micron particles, earning it a MERV 15 rating. The surface-loading characteristic is critical for the unit's automatic cleaning system. Every time the extractor is powered down, an automatic pulse cleaning cycle activates, using compressed air to blow particulate off the filter from the inside out. The dislodged debris falls into a dedicated particulate disposal bin, extending filter life up to two times that of treated cellulose alternatives and ensuring consistent suction performance.
Built for the shop floor, the Capture 5 features a rugged metal cabinet design mounted on large rear wheels and lockable front swivel casters, allowing for easy positioning around large weldments. The included 10-foot extraction arm is pre-assembled and constructed from aluminum and steel for durability. Its balanced design utilizes external adjustments, keeping the interior of the arm smooth to minimize airflow resistance and turbulence. With toolless adjustments and a 360-degree rotation capability, the arm stays exactly where positioned without drifting, providing reliable protection for welders in dynamic environments.
