Cleveland, Ohio - Lincoln Electric is proud to introduce the Mini Flex, a new a portable, high vacuum, low volume system specifically designed for the removal and filtration of welding fume.

The Mini Flex excels in performance, design and ease of handling. It can be used in confined spaces and other locations that are not accessible with other bulkier welding fume extractors. With an automatic start/stop function, the unit automatically turns on and off during welding. It's primary LongLife-H® and secondary HEPA filters efficiently offer abundant capacity to handle most common light and medium duty arc welding applications.

For cleaning and maintenance, the Mini Flex can be completely disassembled in a matter of minutes. With a standard wheel set and optional wall-mounting bracket, it can be easily moved around or positioned off the work floor, out of the welder's working space.

Mini Flex benefits include:

Automatic start/stop. The unit automatically switches on when the arc is established with a 15-second delay upon completion of welding.

Compact size and Portability. Constructed with impact resistant synthetic components, the Mini Flex is lightweight -- only 33lbs (15 kg). Standard wheels and handle make it easy to roll the Mini Flex around the shop.

Engineered Four-Stage Filtration Design. With a pre-separator, LongLife-H® main filter with a surface area of no less than 130 sq. ft., a highly efficient HEPA particle arrestor and optional carbon filter, the Mini Flex's four-stage filtration process is extremely effective in removing welding fumes. The result is a filtration capacity of up to 99.9%.

Noise reduction. With smart noise insulation around the air exhaust, which does not affect motor cooling, a significant noise reduction can be achieved. The Mini Flex operates at only 70dB(A) with torch extraction installed.
