2.2 Operation
The Mobiflex 400-MS (Mobiflex 400-MS/C) works in accordance
with the recirculation principle. Welding fume is extracted by the
extraction fan and enters the spark arrester via the fan housing.
In the spark arrester the larger particles and any sparks are
separated. Subsequently the air is cleaned by the main filter.
Via the outlet grid in the filter cover the cleaned air is returned
in the workshop.
When the main filter becomes heavily saturated - and
consequently the extraction capacity strongly reduces -, a
pressure difference switch activates the RotaPulse compressed
air cleaning mechanism which thoroughly cleans the filter using
section controlled compressed airjets. In the case of an Mobiflex
400-MS compressed air is supplied externally, whereas the
Mobiflex 400-MS/C is equipped with a built-in compressor.
The dust and dirt particles end up in the dust tray.
