Recirculatory A2 size filter unit for aerosol adhesives, lacquers, solvents, paints, solders, particles and dust. Units can be used in two positions either reclined (on back stand) or upright on the work bench. Filtration of particles down to 5 micron. Carbon fibre filter assists in the reduction of solvent odours. Portable and easy to use system. Features dual fans with particle and carbon filters.
Specification
Description
Steel construction finished in dove grey - plastic replaceable spray/ fume shield - back stand/ carry handle - particulate filter - carbon impregnated fibre filter - axial fan (s) - external rotor motor type brushes - UL, VDE and CSA approved (A200S has two fans) - sealed electrical wiring and switch, downstream of filters. *110V 60Hz version available if required.
Operation
All WS filtration systems and extraction systems carry a lifetime warranty, are quiet in operation and can be assembled in seconds. Place onto a desk, bench or trolley and then simply plug in and switch on. These units can be used in two positions. Reclining position (on back-stand) – For Spray Mount, aerosol lacquers and fixatives etc. applied to artwork placed onto the filter. A200S up to A2. Upright position – For model sprays and airbrush use – light grinding particles – solder fume displacement – general solvent dilution etc.
Filtration
The particulate (intake) filter is a three stage graduated fibre filter with a high ‘dust’ holding capacity for long life. Filtration to 5 micron particles. NB: Spray particulate sizes vary from 10 to 20 microns. The carbon impregnated fibre filter (behind intake) assists in the reduction of solvent odours. Through the process of filtration, adsorption and dilution, operator exposure to potentially hazardous substances is vastly reduced.
These units are designed predominantly for studio / classroom / workshop cleanliness and for immediate operator protection from concentrations of airborne contaminants. They are not recommended for continual usage, i.e. production applications, particularly in confined and/or badly ventilated areas. (See extraction cabinets A300S-D, A200H-D & A100H-D for complete vapour extraction or TechFlo range for higher specification filtration).
Demonstrating adequate control of the risks to the health of employees students and the general public, from dusts, powders, mists, fumes and vapours is the fundemental requirement of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH).
