Weldability ProtectoXtract Filters

WELDABILITY PROTECTOXTRACT FILTERS / SPARES

Fume extraction is now an integral part of any commercial welding facility.  With the HSE enforcement implemented in February 2019, all businesses carrying out any welding in an indoor environment must utilise extraction.

The Weldability ProtectoXtract has been an extremely popular cost effective fume extraction solution.  These units feature a 5 stage filtration system in the body of the LEV.  Here we have listed all filters used in conjunction with the ProtectoXtract LEV.

For ease of reference, the following diagram shows the filters inside the unit in the correct order:

Filter lifespans (from top to bottom of diagram) as follows:
