UNI 3.2.1 W3: Self-Cleaning Mobile Filter Unit for Welding Fumes with 13' Aluminum Extraction Arm

Self-Cleaning Welding Fume Extraction with Extended Reach for Large-Scale Fabrication

The AerService UNI 3.2.1 W3 with 13' Aluminum Extraction Arm is a self-cleaning mobile welding fume extraction system engineered for demanding fabrication environments requiring continuous operation, high airflow performance, and expanded extraction coverage. Combining W3-certified filtration, automatic compressed-air filter cleaning, and a 13' articulated aluminum extraction arm, this configuration delivers powerful source-capture extraction while providing the extended reach needed for larger weldments, oversized worktables, and expansive fabrication workspaces.

Designed for intensive daily welding operations, the UNI 3.2.1 W3 delivers industrial-grade filtration performance with minimal maintenance downtime. The included 13' Aluminum Extraction Arm (4m) increases the working envelope around the extraction unit, allowing operators to reach more areas without repositioning equipment and improving productivity in large fabrication environments.

Why Choose the 13' Aluminum Extraction Arm Configuration?

Some fabrication environments require greater extraction reach due to larger assemblies, structural components, and workstation layouts where moving equipment frequently can reduce productivity.

The 13' Aluminum Extraction Arm configuration provides:

• Extended extraction reach.
• Greater workstation coverage.
• Reduced machine repositioning.
• Improved access to large weldments.
• Stable hood positioning.
• Professional articulated arm performance.

This configuration is particularly well suited for structural fabrication, heavy manufacturing, large assemblies, and fabrication environments where expanded extraction coverage improves workflow and operational efficiency.

Designed for Intensive Industrial Applications

The UNI 3.2.1 W3 is built for facilities where welding, grinding, and thermal cutting activities occur continuously throughout the workday.

Ideal applications include:

• Heavy fabrication shops.
• Manufacturing facilities.
• Production welding operations.
• Structural steel fabrication.
• Industrial metalworking.
• Maintenance and repair operations.

Its self-cleaning filtration system helps maintain consistent performance while minimizing maintenance interruptions.

W3-Certified Filtration Performance

The UNI 3.2.1 W3 is certified to W3 filtration standards with filtration efficiency exceeding 99%, making it suitable for demanding welding fume extraction applications.

The filtration system utilizes:

Pre-Separation Chamber

Incoming air enters a dedicated pre-chamber designed to separate heavier dust and sparks before they reach the primary filtration cartridges. This reduces filter loading and improves overall system performance.

Dual Cartridge Filtration

The system incorporates two high-capacity cartridge filters utilizing Sintexx Plus nanofiber media, providing exceptional filtration efficiency and extended service life.

Automatic Compressed-Air Cleaning

The integrated reverse-pulse cleaning system automatically removes accumulated particulate from the filter surface, maintaining airflow performance without requiring manual cleaning procedures.

Advanced Digital Control System

The UNI 3.2.1 W3 features a digital control panel designed to simplify operation and provide real-time system monitoring.

Features include:

• Multi-language interface.
• Hour meter.
• Alarm history log.
• Filter status monitoring.
