The Product
The OX3000 is an ambient air cleaner with a T-Style airflow pattern that pulls air through dual side inlets and pushes filtered air through a center grill/fan for continuous circulation.
Built for welding, it uses dual micro-glass fiber disposable filters that provide greater filter area and reduced static pressure for highly efficient fume capture.
- 3,000 CFM airflow
- 2 H.P. belt drive fan
- 8-10 air changes per hour
The Challenge
A small local welding shop was struggling with severe ventilation issues. Welding smoke and fumes built up to dangerous levels, creating a thick fog throughout the workspace.
The Solution
One OX3000 ambient air cleaner was installed directly over the main welding work area to stop smoke and fumes from building up.
Its T-Style airflow creates continuous circulation throughout the compact workspace, without taking up any floor space.
Key features
- 3,000 CFM: airflow capacity
- Single unit: sized for small to medium weld shops
- Dual filters: more filter area, lower static pressure
- Compact install: made for space-constrained shops
The Results
A dramatic reduction in harmful welding fumes from a single unit.
Fumes Reduced
Harmful welding smoke and fumes were greatly reduced from the air.
Fog Eliminated
The thick fog that used to fill the workspace is gone.
Better Circulation
Air now circulates continuously throughout the work area.
Safer Shop
A healthier, safer environment for daily welding operations.
Even compact welding shops with limited space can achieve effective fume control with the right equipment placement.
