MONO PLUS W3: Mobile Filter Unit for Welding Fumes

Mobile Welding Fume Extraction for Daily Fabrication and Production Applications

The AerService MONO PLUS W3 is a mobile welding fume extraction system designed for fabrication shops and production environments requiring reliable source-capture extraction for daily welding operations. Built for medium-duty welding applications, the MONO PLUS W3 combines high-efficiency W3-certified filtration, mobile workstation flexibility, and simplified filter maintenance in a compact, professional-grade package.

Designed to bridge the gap between portable entry-level extractors and fully automatic self-cleaning systems, the MONO PLUS W3 delivers professional welding fume control for facilities that require dependable daily operation without the added complexity of compressed-air cleaning systems.

Why Source Capture Welding Fume Extraction?

Welding fumes contain fine airborne particulate that can spread throughout the workplace if not captured at the source. Effective source-capture extraction removes contaminants before they enter the operator's breathing zone or disperse throughout the facility.

Capturing fumes directly at the source helps:

• Improve workplace air quality.
• Reduce operator exposure to airborne contaminants.
• Maintain cleaner production environments.
• Reduce particulate accumulation on equipment and surfaces.
• Support facility health and safety initiatives.
• Improve overall fabrication shop cleanliness.

The MONO PLUS W3 is designed to provide effective source-capture extraction directly at the weld zone, helping control fumes before they become an environmental issue within the facility.

Designed for Daily Welding Applications

The MONO PLUS W3 is engineered for facilities performing welding throughout the workday where a portable extractor may be insufficient but a fully automatic self-cleaning system is not yet required.

Ideal applications include:

• Fabrication shops.
• Manufacturing facilities.
• Metalworking operations.
• Maintenance departments.
• Educational welding programs.
• Repair and service centers.
• Dedicated welding workstations.

Its mobile design allows the system to be repositioned between work areas while maintaining professional-grade filtration performance.

W3-Certified Filtration Performance

The MONO PLUS W3 is certified to W3 filtration standards with filtration efficiency exceeding 99%, making it suitable for welding fume extraction applications requiring high-performance particulate removal.

The filtration system includes:

Stage 1 – Spark Protection

An integrated spark trap helps protect the primary filtration media from sparks and larger particulate generated during welding operations.

Stage 2 – High-Efficiency Cartridge Filtration

The primary cartridge filter utilizes Sintexx Plus nanofiber filtration media designed to provide high filtration efficiency while maximizing filter life and airflow performance.

Stage 3 – Safety Filtration

A secondary safety filter helps provide additional protection while maintaining clean air recirculation within the workspace.

Easy Filter Maintenance

One of the key advantages of the MONO PLUS W3 is its simplified filter maintenance system.

Features include:

• Differential pressure monitoring.
• Clogged filter alarm.
• Easy-access filter compartment.
• Manual filter cleaning without cartridge removal.
• Dust collection drawer for simplified disposal.

This design helps reduce maintenance time while maximizing operational uptime.

Environmentally Responsible Filter Technology

The MONO PLUS W3 utilizes Sintexx Plus filter media, designed to provide excellent filtration performance while reducing overall filter material requirements.

Benefits include:

• High-efficiency filtration.
• Extended filter life.
• Reduced filter surface requirements.
• Improved airflow performance.
• PTFE-free construction.

AerService specifically notes that the media achieves performance with 20–30% less filtration surface area than many traditional solutions while avoiding PTFE materials.

Flexible Extraction Configurations

The MONO PLUS W3 can be configured to meet a variety of welding applications.

Available options include:

• Articulated extraction arms.
• Flexible hose extraction.
• Integrated welding tables.
