OPERATION
The operation description below applies to all versions of the base
unit. The air which contains welding fume is captured, extracted
and filtered, in which the filtered air can be either recirculated or
exhausted.
•
First, the welding fume is extracted through one or two
adjustable
fume extraction arm(s) by one or two external
extraction fan(s).
•
Second, the fan unit(s) exhaust(s) the welding fume via a hose or
duct into the Statiflex filter unit.
•
Third, as the welding fume enters the Statiflex unit, it passes
through the prefilter. The prefilter separates larger particles,
debris and sparks prior to the welding fume entering the
LongLife
filter.
•
Fourth, the welding fume passes through the LongLife filter
cartridge (stabilized).
•
Fifth, after passing through the LongLife filter, the filtered air
exits
the Statiflex via the outlet opening(s) at top of unit.
•
The filter cleaning system inside the Statiflex starts automatically
when the pressure drop reaches a certain maximum value during
use. The filter cartridges are cleaned from the inside by
compressed air pulses. An integrated
alarm lamp
indicates when
the
filter cartridges need to be replaced. Pressing the Manual
clean
button activates the cleaning cycles. It will pulse a total of
10
times, 5 pulses on each filter
- refer to figure B.2.
