PRODUCT DESCRIPTION X-TRACTOR 1GC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The X-Tractor 1GC is a self contained system for the removal and
filtration of welding fume particles and other point source particu-
late. It is a high vacuum, low volume system with the capability to
easily and comfortably clean the filter cartridge with compressed
air. It is suitable for medium duty welding applications. When in
“Auto” mode, a current sensor turns the system on only when
needed, thereby extending the brush life of the motors. The sys-
tem is powered by two 120V or 230V blowers.
Machines manufactured after April, 1997 have a circuit breaker
and a Mode switch that allows selection of Low/High Mode. When
in “Low” mode, only one of the two blowers operates; when in
“High” mode, both blowers operate. Machines built after April,
1999 have a Low/High mode switch, but use circuit protection
built-in to the main power switch rather than a circuit breaker.
The X-Tractor 1GC is designed to supply suction for one fume gun
or small suction head designed for High Vacuum fume extraction.
Air enters the system through a 2" (50mm) OD connection. It then
passes through a heavy particle trap, then through the filter, leav-
ing fume particles on the outside of the cartridge. This particulate
free air then passes through the blower and exits through the side
of the machine.
When the filter becomes loaded with fume particles, the filter is
cleaned with compressed air while still inside the machine. By
connecting compressed air to the fitting on the rear of the
machine and rotating the fitting, particles are blown from the out-
side surface of the filter by air jets released from the cleaning
device. The internal canister is then removed and particulate can
be poured out.
