951521 - Miller Filtair SWX Dual-Arm Add-On Kit, 12ft Standard Arm

Miller Filtair SWX Dual-Arm Add-On Package Overview

The Miller Filtair SWX Dual-Arm Add-On Package (SKU: 951521) is an industrial-grade expansion solution designed to transform single-arm SWX fume extraction installations into dual-arm systems. This package is engineered for facilities looking to maximize their floor space and equipment utility by servicing two welding zones from a centralized mounting location. The kit includes the robust FEB-1 blower motor, a 12-foot standard extraction arm, and all necessary mounting hardware to integrate seamlessly with your existing Filtair infrastructure.

At the core of this package is the high-performance fan, capable of generating 1,200 CFM of free air flow. When coupled with the 12-foot standard arm, the system delivers an Accu-Rated minimum of 875 CFM at the capture hood. This rating is critical for industrial hygiene, ensuring that sufficient capture velocity is maintained to pull weld fumes—including hexavalent chromium and manganese—away from the operator's breathing zone. The system is compatible with major welding processes, including MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux Cored welding, making it a versatile addition to heavy fabrication shops and training centers.

The 12-foot standard arm is designed with external adjustments. Unlike arms with internal support mechanisms that obstruct airflow and collect particulate buildup, the Miller Filtair arm allows air to pass through with minimal resistance. This design not only improves suction efficiency but also simplifies maintenance. The arm is terminated with a durable bellmouth-shaped hood that features 360-degree rotation, allowing for precise positioning. The hood's aerodynamic design enables it to capture fumes from greater distances than conventional hoods, reducing the need for the welder to constantly reposition the arm during long passes.

This add-on package is a comprehensive solution for expanding your shop's safety capabilities. It includes the blower, control box, mounting bracket, flexible ducting, and backdraft dampers. Please note that 115V wiring is not included and must be supplied during installation. By upgrading to a dual-arm configuration, facilities can significantly improve air quality and regulatory compliance without the footprint of installing completely separate units.
