951574 - Miller Filtair Capture 5 Mobile Fume Extractor, 460V, 10ft Arm

High-Efficiency Industrial Fume Extraction

The Miller Filtair Capture 5 Fume Extractor (460V) with a 10-foot arm represents a significant advancement in mobile fume extraction technology for industrial environments. Designed specifically to address the rigorous demands of heavy equipment manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance operations, this unit integrates Miller's exclusive ZoneFlow technology. Unlike traditional source-capture systems that require the extraction arm to be positioned within 18 inches of the arc, ZoneFlow creates a large negative pressure zone that effectively funnels air to the center of the arm from distances up to five feet away. This extended capture range is critical for maintaining compliance and air quality in dynamic welding setups where frequent repositioning is impractical.

Advanced Filtration and Maintenance

At the core of the Capture 5 is the FilTek XL Filter Technology, which boasts a MERV 15 rating. This high-efficiency filter is engineered to capture up to 95% of weld fume particulates, including sub-micron particles often generated during MIG, TIG, and Flux-Cored welding. The system utilizes surface-loading filter media rather than depth-loading, which allows for far more effective cleaning. The unit features an automatic pulse cleaning cycle that activates every time the machine is powered down. This mechanism cleans the filter from the inside out, depositing particulate into a convenient disposal drawer, thereby extending filter life and ensuring consistent airflow (900 CFM) throughout operation.

Robust Design and Specifications

Built for the industrial floor, the Capture 5 operates on 460V, 3-phase power, drawing 5.8 Amps. The 10-foot extraction arm is pre-assembled and constructed from durable aluminum and steel. It features external adjustments to minimize airflow resistance and allows for toolless positioning. The balanced arm design ensures it stays in place once positioned, while the lockable swivel casters on the base unit provide mobility and stability. A filter pressure gauge is included to monitor system health, and the unit requires a dry compressed air connection to operate the self-cleaning mechanism.
