Introduction
Thank you for choosing the RoboVent ProCube filtration machine. This
high-vacuum unit is designed for industrial environments, collecting
both fumes and dust at the source in welding and related processes. The
energy-efficient motor is directly coupled to the regenerative blower and
operated by onboard controls, combining what might otherwise be a very
complex operation into a simple, user-friendly package. It ships completely
assembled and pre-tested, making it easy to set up and use.
The ProCube machine has been designed for production use and has a few
standout characteristics:
Regenerative blower:
The backbone of the machine, it requires little
maintenance, and the advanced design provides the powerful suction
required.
Vertical cartridge filters:
Vertical cartridge filters have superior loading
and cleaning performance; RoboVent Endurex filters improve on these
inherent characteristics with proprietary design features that optimize
performance and promote effective pulse cleaning.
Pulsing system:
Automatic and efficient, the pulse system ensures filter
life is maximized. Online and offline modes work together as needed to en-
sure filter is consistently cleaned: a quick pulse sheds dust from the filter,
causing it to fall into the hopper area and collect in the disposable contain-
ment tube. Effective pulsing is combined with a filter chamber designed to
prevent re-entrainment of dust, resulting in maximum filter life.
Intuitive controls:
Simple, intuitive controls are equipped with auto and
manual blower modes. Optional sensors integrate filtration with welding
processes. Additional electronics monitor airflow and motor speeds to indi-
cate operating condition with green and yellow lights.
With user-friendly electronics and only requiring connections to electricity
and compressed air, the ProCube machine is simple to set up. Additional
details can be found in the section titled “Prerequisites for Use”.
Persons involved with installing, operating, maintaining, and servicing this
RoboVent ProCube machine must read these instructions prior to use. Keep
this manual in a safe and convenient place for reference. In the case of loss
or damage, please contact RoboVent for replacement.
RECEIVING & INSPECTION
The equipment will arrive on a pallet or in a crate. Perform a visual inspec-
tion before removing from the truck. If there is any damage, it should be
noted on the shipping documents and photographed. It is the receiver's
responsibility to file shortage reports and damage claims with the carrier.
The carrier is responsible for any damage to the equipment while it is
in transit. Notify RoboVent if any damage has occurred so repair can be
arranged.
The filter cartridge will be shipped inside the machine.
Before discarding packing material, make sure no small parts are con-
cealed within wrapping.

PURPOSE & LIMITATIONS
The ProCube filtration machine is designed for use with fume extraction
welding guns in production applications. Its powerful suction, simple
controls, and small footprint are suited for use in many facilities, including
fabrication shops, production facilities, shipbuilding, and large structures.
Optional smooth-rolling wheels and lifting handle enhance mobility for use
in portable applications.
This machine is intended for filtration of airborne fumes and non-explosive
dry dust captured at the source. The design and controls are optimized for
welding processes, especially when used with fume extraction welding
guns, but it can be used intermittently for related processes such as grind-
ing or sanding.
