The DraftMax Basic is a workbench that provides extraction and filtration for welding and grinding applications. The DraftMax Basic features a work grid, a three-stage pre filtration system for optimum spark arresting and two disposable main filter cartridges. Both filters have pull-out dust drawers underneath. A Magnehelic gauge on the control panel indicates when the filter cartridges require replacement. The working height of the downdraft table is adjustable. Filter exchange and service can be effected from the front side.
Safety
The integrated spark arrester prevents sparks from reaching the filter cartridges. The spark arrester is placed underneath the working surface of the downdraft table to ensure a safe workplace.
Maintenance-friendly
Maintenance can be carried out from the front of the downdraft table. This makes it easy to replace filters and to empty the dust trays. Filtration takes place through two oval filter cartridges with a total filter surface of 52 m2 (560 ft2). The filter cartridges cover a large filter surface, resulting in a long filter lifespan. This means even less maintenance and reduces all-over operational costs.
