Lincoln Electric’s®Mo iflex™400-MS is a porta le, low vacuum/high volume self-cleaning filtration
system designed for heavy duty extraction and filtration of welding fumes.
The lightweight and rugged design of the Mo iflex™400-MS along with the standard front caster and
rear wheels allows for easy porta ility. It is ideal for facilities that require welding fume extraction in
multiple locations, including maintenance departments, general fabrication and job shops, and industrial
welding environments. Because of the self-cleaning function, the obiflex™400- S can also be used in
production environments where welding duty cycles are longer and more frequent.
The Mo iflex™400-MS can e configured with Lincoln’s LFA 3.1 or LFA 4.1
fume extraction arms or with the 152 mm (6") diameter, 5 m (16’) long flexi le
hose and hood set. Lincoln Electric’s®fume extraction arms are designed to
provide welders optimal motion and reach for their specific welding position(s)
and work area. The arm lengths range from 3.1 m (10 ft.) to 4.1 m
(13 ft.). For hard to reach areas such as confined spaces, the flexible hose
and set can be easily carried to locations where an extraction arm just is not
feasible.
The internal extraction fan is designed specifically for weld applications.
It extracts weld fume through the arm, into the internal spark arrestor and
finally through the self-cleaning filter cartridge capturing the welding fume
particulate. As the particulate is collected on the outside of the filter cartridge
and builds up, the filter is then automatically cleaned causing the particulate
to fall into the collection bin for easy, hands free disposal.
The Mo iflex™400-MS filter is recommended for consuma le use of approximately
6,000 lbs. (2722 kg) of IG wire or 4,000 lbs. (1814 kg) of stick or flux-cored wire before replacing.
Filter performance will be affected by process and application variables including:
base metal(s), consumables(s), and coatings (oil) if applicable.

A CLOSER LOOK
PERFORMANCE
Extraction Arms
No matter if you are working in a small work station, under a low
ceiling, or in a large fabrication area, one of Lincoln Electric’s®vari-
ous fume extraction arms for welding will work for you. The flexible
extraction arms are built the Lincoln®way—rugged and reliable.
Low vacuum extraction arms are designed for high volume/low
velocity air movement to enable the arm to be positioned at a
distance of 6-12 inches (152-304 mm) from the welding source.
Designed with the welder in mind, the arms provide welders optimal
motion and reach for their specific welding position(s) and work
area.
The arms come equipped with the 360° rotatable hood for optimal
positioning to welding source. This allows a larger work envelope
with less repositioning of the arm and increased operator visibility.
With the extraction arm correctly positioned, the welding fume par-
ticulate can be effectively drawn away from the operator’s breathing
zone, as well as eliminate the residual fume particulate that often
rises and hovers within the facility.
With a unique spring-balanced internal mechanism, Lincoln’s®fume
extraction arms provide a long-lasting, user-friendly solution. The
extraction arms external shell is made of solid, lightweight 203 mm
(8 in.) diameter dent and scratch resistant tubing. Incorporated into
the arm is an airflow throttle valve and extraction focus spoiler. A
clear halogen lamp and automatic start/stop are available as rec-
ommended optional features. With the use of an arc sensor, the
system automatically starts and stops the fan unit, providing hands-
free operation and helping to conserve energy. All this combined
provides a highly effective system with maximum efficiency and
minimal disruption to welder productivity.

Self-Cleaning Filter
Mobiflex™400-MS Reach
Self-Cleaning Filter
The Mobiflex 400-MS filter has a surface area of 30 m2(325 ft2) with
ExtraCoat®pretreatment and the unique 3D-pleated structure
results in a high filter efficiency, a longer life, and low operational
costs. The ExtraCoat®pretreatment fills the micro pleats in the filter
and reduces moisture. This increases its efficiency from the start of
usage.
An electronic pressure differential system measures the static air
pressure as it enters and exits the filter cartridge. If the air pressure
entering the filter unit is greater than the air pressure exiting the fil-
ter unit, the electronic circuit signals the cleaning system to clean
the filter cartridge. The cleaning of the filter, segment by segment,
with compressed air results in maximum airflow.
Compressed air from the internal tank releases through multiple air-
jets to clean one section of the filter at each air burst. A complete
cleaning cycle can be activated by depressing a manual switch on
the front of the control panel. The particulate is blown off the filter
cartridge into a plastic collection bin. If cleaning the filter cartridge
is no longer effective, the electronic circuit will indicate a full filter
cartridge by blinking the light on the front control panel.
