FVH Series - High Vacuum Fume Extractor

The FVH Series is a high-vacuum, portable fume extraction system designed to provide powerful, continuous-duty weld fume capture at the source. With capacities of up to 800 CFM and vacuum levels reaching 180” w.g., these units deliver industry-leading performance for manual, robotic, and automated welding applications. Featuring advanced MERV 15 FR Ultralife filter media rated at 99.9% efficiency @ 0.5 µm, the FVH ensures superior air quality while reducing filter change frequency. Its compact, maneuverable design, along with remote start and automated control options, makes it the most efficient and versatile solution for demanding industrial environments.

Function:

The FVH1 and FVH2 are engineered to capture hazardous weld fumes directly at the torch, eliminating exposure before contaminants spread into the workplace. The FVH1 powers a single ErgoMax MIG gun, while the FVH2 supports two guns simultaneously, making it adaptable for small shops or large-scale continuous welding operations. Both models are also configurable for robotic and automated welding setups, ensuring comprehensive fume extraction coverage.

Operators benefit from intelligent features such as an auto/manual switch for flexible operation, current-sensing remote start, and a 3-speed motor control for adjustable vacuum performance. An onboard differential pressure gauge, service indicator light, and hour meter simplify filter monitoring and maintenance scheduling, while the unique vibration/compressed-air cleaning system maximizes filter lifespan and consistent performance.

The FVH’s design combines portability with heavy-duty construction. A compact, low-profile cabinet provides a stable base that can even accommodate wire feeder mounting. Quick-lock dust trays make disposal fast and clean, and large 2.5” inlets ensure sufficient airflow for single or dual-gun setups. With a noise level of just 78 dB at 5 feet, it operates quietly even in high-demand environments.

Main options include:

  • 300A, 400A, and 500A ErgoMax MIG Guns
  • Flexible and Direct-Connect Automatic Welding Torches
  • Custom Robotic Extraction Kits
  • FumeVac EZ-Reach Weld Boom & ErgoBoom Torch Extension Systems
  • Protective Gun Hose Covers (3 ft, 7 ft, 10 ft)
  • Lightweight PVC or heavy-duty polyurethane vacuum hoses
  • Vacuum hose adapters, reducers, and elbows
  • Replacement Ultralife filter media (158 ft², MERV 15 FR)

Construction:

The FVH is built with a rugged steel cabinet finished in durable powder coating to withstand industrial use. It comes equipped with heavy-duty wheels and casters for easy maneuvering across shop floors. Dimensions are L-38” x W-24.5” x H-30” (965 x 622 x 762 mm), with a weight range of 226–255 lbs (103–116 kg). A standard 25 ft (7.6 m), 4-conductor 460V input power cable provides flexible installation. The system features maintenance-free, high-performance brushless motors with thermal and overload circuit protection. Filtration is handled by a 158 ft² (14.8 m²) MERV 15 FR Ultralife cartridge, rated for 99.9% efficiency at 0.5 µm, supported by a push-button manual cleaning system that extends filter life. The quick-locking dust tray simplifies debris disposal, while the compact cabinet allows for integration into confined spaces or direct equipment mounting.

Key Buying Criteria:

  • Continuous Duty Reliability: Brushless motor design ensures long service life without the maintenance associated with brush-type systems.
  • High Extraction Power: Up to 800 CFM free airflow and 180” w.g. vacuum levels for superior fume capture.
  • Superior Filtration: MERV 15 FR Ultralife media with 99.9% efficiency at 0.5 µm protects against fine weld fumes.
  • Flexible Configurations: Single- or dual-gun setups, robotic welding, or torch extensions.
  • Ease of Use: Auto/manual modes, current sensing remote start, push-button filter cleaning, and quick-lock dust tray.
  • Compact & Mobile: Heavy-duty wheels and casters with a low-profile cabinet for tight spaces.
  • Quiet Operation: 78 dB at 5 feet for comfortable use in busy workshops.
