951810 - Miller FILTAIR 6-Inch x 10-Foot ZoneFlow Extraction Arm

Advanced Fume Capture Technology

The Miller FILTAIR® Fume Extraction Arm (Model #951810) represents a significant leap forward in industrial hygiene and welding safety. Engineered with Miller's proprietary ZoneFlow™ Technology, this 6-inch by 10-foot arm is designed to solve the common limitations of traditional source capture systems. Unlike standard extraction arms that require the hood to be positioned within 12 to 18 inches of the arc, the ZoneFlow system creates a negative pressure zone that extends the capture distance up to 5 feet. This expanded capture area is approximately three times larger than conventional counterparts, ensuring that fumes are effectively removed even when the welder is working across a broader section of the base material.

Optimized Airflow and Efficiency

At the heart of this system is a high-performance fan design integrated into the hood mechanism, capable of delivering a class-leading 1,200 CFM of suction power, resulting in a nominal extraction rate of 875 CFM at the capture point. The arm features external adjustments, which removes internal obstructions and reduces airflow resistance, thereby maintaining high efficiency and reducing noise. The ZoneFlow Motor Control Box, included with the arm, operates on standard 110/115/120 V single-phase power, making it easy to integrate into existing shop electrical infrastructures. Operators can choose between a 180-degree capture zone for focused extraction or a full 360-degree zone for maximum coverage, providing versatility for various joint configurations and welding positions.

Integration and Ergonomics

Designed for seamless integration with Miller's FILTAIR® SWX or Centralized systems, this arm is also compatible with competitive equipment requiring a high-performance capture device. The preassembled nature of the arm simplifies installation, whether mounted to a wall, pedestal, or column. The ergonomic design ensures that the arm is easy to operate, with smooth articulation that stays in place once positioned. By reducing the frequency of arm adjustments, the ZoneFlow technology directly contributes to higher arc-on time and reduced operator fatigue, making it an essential component for high-volume fabrication environments prioritizing both safety and efficiency.
