ABOUT THE PRODUCT
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The ENVIROMAC Mobile Welding
Smoke Extractor/Mobile Dust Extractor
(107.1017) is a HEPA media type Air
Cleaner operating on a three-stage
filtration principle. After the contaminant
is picked up at the hood of the Snorkvac
Fume Extractor Flex Arm it is then
drawn through the flex arm and through
the fan assembly and discharged to the
inside part of the prefilter which traps the
larger particles. The air then enters the
HEPA filter. The filter efficiency of the
HEPA media is 99.997% down to a size
of .3 micron. The filtered air from the
HEPA filter is discharged out the 2
doors. The 2 doors contain charcoal,
which eliminates some gases that might
be in the filtered air stream. The prefilter
and HEPA filters collect particulate only
and do not filter gases, which is the sole
purpose of the charcoal door filters.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
The ENVIROMAC Mobile Welding
Smoke Extractor/Mobile Dust Extractor
(107.1017) is a self-contained unit
comprised of a fume extractor flex arm
(for source capture), fan and motor
assembly, (1) throwaway paper prefilter,
(1) HEPA filter, (2) carbon door filters,
complete cabinet housing and an
electrical compartment which also
includes a contactor overload.
A) PREFILTER AND HEPA FILTER
This filter combination is the most
efficient combination of filters available.
The suction will deteriorate at the hood
as the filters load up with particulate.
Eventually the filters will have to be
replaced. The prefilter (107.1016) is a
throwaway paper filter. To commence
replacing the prefilter, you must remove
the door at the front of the machine. This
door is removed by removing the (2)
plastic knobs near the bottom of the door
and then pulling the door out on an angle
so the door is free from the (2) welded
bolts. You then pull down on the door to
let it slide down from the top of the door.
You remove the combination prefilter
and HEPA filter by lowering the scissor
jack with a ratchet. Then slide out the
assembly. You remove the prefilter from
the inside of the HEPA filter. You can
now put the new prefilter inside of the
HEPA filter. DO NOT BLOW OUT
THE LARGER HEPA FILTER. THIS
IS A THROWAWAY FILTER. THE
MEDIA IS VERY SENSITIVE AND
YOU WILL BLOW A HOLE IN THE
MEDIA IF CLEANED WITH
COMPRESSED AIR. You can now
install the complete filter assembly back
into the machine and tighten the filter by
raising the scissor jack. Make sure the
filter is resting on the back of the filter
cradle butted up against the tab locators.
Make sure that the top of the filter fits
inside the top plate that has a 1” lip on it.
Make sure the scissor jack is high
enough to allow an airtight seal on the
top of the filter gasket. Caution should be
taken not to apply too much pressure to
the filter assembly or you could distort
and damage the filters if too much
pressure is applied.
B) CHARCOAL FILTERS
Both doors contain the charcoal filters.
They should be replaced 1 or twice a
year in a normal welding environment.
C) ELECTRICAL COMPARTMENT
The unit operates off 120 volts single
phase utilizing a 20-amp service outlet.
The motor draws about 17.5 amps under
full load conditions. There is a contactor
and an overload inside this compartment
and the overload are set at about 20%
above the 17.5 amps. This will
automatically shut off power to the motor
in the event of an overload. This gives
full protection to the motor. The unit has
a spring activated on/off dual switch on
Page 3
the front of the panel. There are facilities
to put in an optional halogen light in the
hood of the arm. This requires a 120 Volt
to 12-volt step down transformer for this
option. The halogen light will run off of
12 volts AC.
C) CABINET
The cabinet is built of 14-gauge steel.
There are 2 doors on the unit and the
discharge of the clean air is through these
2 doors.
D) BLOWER AND MOTOR
SECTION
The motor is a 1.5 HP TEFC, 120/1/60,
3600 RPM. The fan is a high-pressure
fan fabricated out of 14 gauge metal.
E) ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
FEATURES
The standard unit comes equipped with
the Snorkvac™ 10 Ft. flexible flex arm.
The 3 articulated joint sections could be
adjusted to suit the operator as to the ease
of movement of the 4 different
articulations. There is an optional 14 Ft.
Snorkvac™ flexible flex arm.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Filter maintenance
The filters should be cleaned or replaced
when there is inadequate suction at the
hood. The prefilter should be replaced
whenever the suction deteriorates and it
has been determined that the HEPA filter
does not have to be replaced. The HEPA
filter only has to be replaced when the
suction is still low after replacing the
prefilter. The HEPA filter does not have
to be replaced every time the prefilter is
cleaned. You normally will replace 3 or 4
prefilters to every HEPA filter.
Part Numbers
Prefilter (Disposable): 107.1016
HEPA filter: 107.1015
The charcoal door filters should be
replaced once or twice a year. The arm
has friction discs with washers, which
can be adjusted to suit the operator. The
unique design of the arm minimizes any
problems related to sagging, burn holes
in the hose and ease of arm movement.
This is a major problem with
conventional less expensive fume
extractor flex arms.
Thank you for purchasing your new
ENVIROMAC Mobile Welding Smoke
Extractor/Mobile Dust Extractor.
The air in your work area will be much
healthier to breathe. The HEPA filter
should be used to filter out Hexavalent
Chromium Fumes when welding
stainless steel.

Question: What is the definition of filter efficiency?
Answer: Filter efficiency is the ratio of particles trapped by a filter over the total number
of particles found in the air upstream to the filter. A particle counter is often used to
determine the number of particles trapped by the filter. Filter efficiency can either be
based on specific particle size ranges or based on the total number of particles of all sizes.
There are numerous testing procedures utilized for determining filter efficiency.
Particles Trapped / Particles Upstream = Filter Efficiency
EG#1 we start out with 100 particles. The filter traps 99 particles leaving 1 particle
upstream that the filter did not trap.
Therefore the filter efficiency=
=99÷1=99% Efficiency
Question: How do they normally do a filtration efficiency test on HEPA media?
Answer: One of the most common tests is a DOP test. The DOP test normally bombards
the filter media with particulate that is .3 micron in size and they measure upstream for
any particles that penetrated through the filter media.
Question: What is a DOP Test?
Answer: DOP stands for “Dioctyl phthalate aerosol challenge”(DOP).
The DOP test procedure can evaluate particle penetration and air flow resistance
properties of a variety of filtration materials (e.g. HEPA filters, NIOSH respirators, and
filter media). The procedure employs a cold aerosol of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) using a
TSI® CERTITEST® Model 8130 Automated Filter Tester. Test articles are challenged
with particles of the most penetrating particle size range (0.3 µm). Filtration efficiency
measurements can be determined up to 99.999%. Samples can be tested at flow rates up
to 90 L/min.
Question: Is the Enviroflex 107.1015 HEPA filter?
Answer: Yes

Question: What type of test and what filter efficiency is one on the HEPA media for the
107.1015 Filter?
Answer: The HEPA media is put under the DOP test and the efficiency is 99.97% down
to .3 micron.
Question: How big is a micron (1.0 µm)?
Answer: A micron, short for micrometer, is a unit of measurement equal to one millionth
of a meter. A micron is actually 0.000039 of an inch.
To give you an idea what we are talking about here, the period at the end of this sentence
is about 397 microns. The eye of a needle is usually elongated, but is 749 microns wide.
A human hair is 40 to 120 microns in diameter. A postage stamp is more than 25,000
microns long.
Question: What is the purpose of the Enviroflex 107.1016 or 107.1016A filter?
Answer: The 107.1016 or 107.1016A acts as a Prefilter. It filters out the larger particles
so that the HEPA filter does not plug up rapidly. It extends the life of the HEPA filter.
Question: What is the difference between the 107.1016 and the 107.1016A filters?
107.1016-This is a throwaway prefilter
107.1016A-This is a washable prefilter that you utilize with precoat.
Question: How often do you have to replace the 107.1015 HEPA filter?
Answer: Normally for every 3 or 4 Prefilters you either replace or clean.
Question: Do you have any websites that could better educate us on the hazards of
welding smoke?
Answer: Yes
The link to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Organization is
http://www.afscme.org/issues/1297.cfm
The link to the latest changes in OSHA regulations on hexavalent chromium is
http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=FEDERAL_REGIS
