OVERVIEW

Breathe Easier with the ESAB CarryVac 2

Welding fumes are no joke, and if you are moving around the shop or heading out to a job site, you can't always rely on a big wall-mounted ventilation system. That is where the ESAB CarryVac 2 P150 AST comes in. This little powerhouse is designed to be your personal bodyguard against smoke and metal dust. Weighing in at just around 16kg, it is light enough to throw in the truck or carry by hand right to where the action is. Whether you are fixing heavy equipment in the field or doing a quick repair in a tight corner, the CarryVac 2 keeps your air clean.

The "AST" in the name stands for Automatic Start/Stop, and it is a game-changer for convenience. You simply clip the sensor onto your work lead, and the machine does the rest. Strike an arc, and the vacuum kicks on instantly to suck away the smoke. Stop welding, and it shuts off automatically after clearing the line. This means you aren't listening to a vacuum scream all day when you are just fitting up parts or grinding, and you aren't burning through filters unnecessarily. It saves you money and saves your ears.

This unit is built to work with fume extraction guns, which suck the smoke right at the nozzle before it even gets to your helmet. If you don't use an extraction gun, you can hook up a magnetic nozzle and position it right next to your weld. The filter is high-efficiency, trapping 99.7% of the nasty stuff you don't want in your lungs. There is even a light that tells you when it is time to swap out the filter, so you never have to guess. If you care about your health and want a professional-grade solution that travels with you, the ESAB CarryVac 2 is the tool for the job.
