K4384-3 - Prism Mobile Fume Extractor with 13ft Arm and Auto-Cleaning

High-Efficiency Mobile Fume Extraction for Industrial Environments

The Lincoln Electric Prism® Mobile with Mechanized Cleaning (K4384-3) represents a significant advancement in mobile welding fume control. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of small manufacturing facilities, fabrication shops, and plant maintenance operations, this system delivers a robust 735 CFM of airflow. The unit is engineered to capture welding fumes at the source, returning filtered air to the facility and maintaining a safer, cleaner working environment for personnel. This One-Pak® package is a comprehensive solution that includes the base unit, a high-efficiency MERV 14 filter, and a 13-foot flexible extraction arm, providing immediate operational readiness upon delivery.

Advanced Filtration and Maintenance Reduction

At the core of the Prism Mobile's efficiency is the MERV 14 filtration system, capable of capturing fine particulates generated during welding processes. What sets this unit apart is the integrated RotaPulse® automatic filter cleaning system. This mechanized cleaning feature utilizes pulses of compressed air to dislodge dust and particulate matter from the filter surface, depositing it into a collection bin. This technology significantly extends the lifespan of the filter, reduces the frequency of manual maintenance, and lowers long-term consumable costs. By maintaining cleaner filters automatically, the system ensures consistent airflow performance throughout the workday.

Operational Safety and Flexibility

Safety is paramount in the design of the K4384-3. The unit features an internal spark arrestor that functions as a pre-filter, effectively trapping larger particulates and preventing sparks from reaching the main filter element. This multi-stage approach to filtration enhances fire safety and protects the integrity of the primary filter. The inclusion of a 13-foot extraction arm offers exceptional reach and flexibility, allowing operators to position the hood precisely where it is needed without constantly moving the base unit. The arm's design facilitates optimal motion, making it suitable for dynamic work environments where weldments vary in size and location.

Mobility and Application

Built for versatility, the Prism Mobile is equipped with heavy-duty front casters and large rear wheels, ensuring smooth maneuverability across shop floors. Whether utilized in welding schools for training purposes or in active fabrication cells, the unit can be easily positioned to accommodate changing workflow requirements. The system is an ideal choice for facilities seeking to improve air quality and comply with safety standards without committing to complex, fixed ductwork installations.
