GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
The X-Tractor 8A is a self-contained, high vacuum system for the
removal and filtration of welding fume particles and other point
source particulate. It is designed to supply suction for six fume guns
or small suction heads and is suitable for heavy duty welding appli-
cations and continuous use.
Welding fume enters the X-Tractor 8A through a connection on the
rear side of the machine. It then passes through the filter, the blower
and exits through an internal silencer.The blower is powered by a
three phase electric motor. A special direct cooling system assists in
cooling the blower.
The vacuum level depends upon the amount of airflow through the
blower. Therefore, extraction performance will vary depending on the
number and type of extraction devices in use.
The X-Tractor 8A features an integrated automatic filter cleaning
system. A timer signals a pulse of compressed air that shakes the
particulate from the outside surface of the filter so that it falls into the
dustbin. This air jet is released from an on-board tank of compressed
air that is pressurized from an external source through a fitting on the
front of the machine.
Unit includes:
• Filter Cartridge
• Automatic Filter Cleaning System
• Automatic Operation Connection
