The Product
The OX3000 is a welding air cleaner with a T-Style airflow pattern that pulls air through dual side inlets and exhausts filtered air through a center grill/fan for optimal circulation.
Its dual micro-glass fiber disposable filters provide greater filter area and reduced static pressure for higher efficiency and extended filter life.
- 3,000 CFM airflow
- 3/4 H.P. direct drive fan
- 2-year warranty on all parts (not filters)
The Challenge
AIS Construction Equipment is a John Deere and Komatsu heavy equipment dealer. Their fabrication team of 3-6 workers builds attachments and modifies or repairs equipment for customers, and the shop faced two air quality problems:
The Solution
Multiple OX3000 units were strategically installed throughout the fabrication shop to tackle both the plasma cutting haze and the welding smoke.
The OX3000's T-Style airflow pulls air in through both ends and returns clean, filtered air through the center, keeping the whole shop circulating.
Key features
- 3,000 CFM: airflow capacity per unit
- Dual filters: more filter area, lower static pressure
- Multi-unit install: full coverage of welding and plasma cutting areas
The Results
The impact was immediate and transformative.
Welding Smoke Eliminated
Smoke problems during welding were completely eliminated.
Haze Gone in 5 Minutes
Plasma cutting haze now clears in five minutes instead of an hour.
Better Workplace
A significantly improved work environment for the fabrication team.
Our problems with welding smoke during the welding process have been eliminated!
