Lincoln Electric MOBIFLEX 400-MS fume extractor

The Mobiflex 400-MS is a mobile fume extraction system used primarily in welding, cutting, and grinding applications. Its main purpose is to capture harmful fumes and particulate matter generated during these processes, filtering the air and helping to create a safer work environment for welders and other workers.

 

Key Features and Specifications

 

From the images and known product information, here are some details about your unit:

  • Manufacturer: Lincoln Electric

  • Model: MOBIFLEX 400-MS (as seen on the rating plate in IMG_0467.HEIC)

  • Function: Mobile welding fume extraction unit. It's designed to be easily moved around a shop floor, which is clear from the wheels and compact design.

  • Motor Power: 1 HP (Horsepower) (from the rating plate).

  • Electrical Requirements: 115V / 1 / 60Hz (from the rating plate), which is standard single-phase North American power.

  • Extraction Arm: The unit features a flexible, red extraction arm (seen in IMG_0465.jpg) that the operator positions close to the welding or cutting point to capture the fumes right at the source.

  • Control Panel: The front panel (seen in IMG_0466.HEIC) includes:

    • Power switches.

    • Indicators for the filter status (often showing when the filter needs cleaning or replacement).

    • A button for filter cleaning (this unit has an internal cleaning system).

    • An alarm indicator.

  • Filter System: This model is known for having a high-efficiency filter to capture fine particles and often uses a self-cleaning mechanism (a pulse-jet system) to extend the life of the filter.

  • Fume extractors like the Mobiflex 400-MS are critical for workplace safety:

    1. Health: Welding fumes contain various hazardous substances (like manganese, chromium, and nickel) that can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory problems and metal fume fever. The extractor significantly reduces the welder's exposure to these contaminants.

    2. Compliance: They help companies comply with occupational safety and health regulations (like those set by OSHA in the US).

    3. Air Quality: They improve the overall air quality in the workspace, which benefits everyone in the area.
