PHASE
Portable Welding Fume Extractor
Lincoln’s X-Tractor 1GC is a portable, high vacuum, low volume extraction system
specifically designed for the removal and filtration of welding fumes. The 1GC is
the perfect choice for small shops or companies with few welding stations, yet
lightweight and small enough to be easily carried to the welding area.
Because of its high portability and low cost, the X-Tractor 1GC is
perfect for light duty welding use such as light fabrication,
maintenance and construction applications. With a simple motor
brush replacement, the X-Tractor 1GC could be used in "light duty"
semiautomatic applications as well.
What sets the X-Tractor 1GC apart from the competition is its unique internal and
self-contained filter cleaning system. By using compressed air, the filter is blown
out by a high-velocity rotary air jet device that extends the life of the filter.
Simple. Easy. Effective
Overall filter performance will be affected by process and application variables
including: base metal(s), consumable(s), and coatings (oil) if applicable.

Weight and Design
The X-Tractor 1GC is lightweight and portable at only 37 lbs.
(17 kg) and can easily be carried anywhere.This machine is
perfect for light duty, intermittent use such as maintenance
and construction applications.
High vacuum welding fume extraction systems utilize higher
pressure of 70-90" WG and low volume of 50-100 CFM with
an air speed of 4000-5000 ft/min. The air handling configuration of high vacuum equipment allows the use of small diameter rigid duct and small diameter flex hose to easily reach
extraction points. It is perfect for applications such as short
welds when using fume suction nozzles or larger fixture welding using integrated fume extraction guns. This process is
designed for close proximity source extraction from 2-4" to the
welding source.
Since the hoses and suction nozzles are smaller than those of
low vacuum systems, it is much easier to carry the extraction
nozzle and/or flex hose into confined spaces (45 ft. maximum
distance). The mobility of the hoses allows the main filter unit
to be kept at a central location. Due to the low air volume
(CFM) extracted make-up air and negative room air pressures
are kept to a minimum when exhausting outside the facility.
Filtration Process
The X-Tractor 1GC has a unique internal manual cleaning
system. Using a customer supplied compressed air source
and manual rotation, the internal rotary air jet device supplies a
burst of air from inside the filter cartridges. This in turn causes
the particulate that has collected on the outside of the filter
cartridge to drop into the bottom of the unit. The cover where
the flex hose inlet is located is then removed and the
particulate can be disposed of by following federal, state, and
local environmental regulations.
Cable Sensor
At the bottom of the X-Tractor 1GC unit is an automatic
start/stop sensor. The unit automatically switches on as the
welder begins to weld. And automatically switches off approximately 15 seconds after the welder stops welding. The result
is less energy consumption and non-continuous noise. For the
automatic start/stop function to work, the welders work cable
or power cable must be laid in the sensor hook.
