K2497-8 - Lincoln Miniflex Portable Fume Extractor 230V 50Hz

Breathe Clean Air Wherever You Weld

Welding fumes are more than just a nuisance; they are a health hazard that can affect your lungs and long-term well-being. The Lincoln Electric Miniflex (K2497-8) is your personal defense against smoke and particulate matter. Designed for welders who need mobility, this portable "smoke eater" rolls right up to your workpiece, capturing fumes before they ever reach your breathing zone. Whether you are doing TIG work on stainless steel or light maintenance MIG welding, the Miniflex keeps your air clean and your vision clear.

Set It and Forget It

One of the best features of the Miniflex is that you don't have to constantly walk over to turn it on and off. It comes with a smart current sensor that clips onto your ground or work cable. As soon as you strike an arc, the extractor kicks on automatically. When you stop welding, it shuts off after a few seconds. This means less noise in the shop when you aren't welding and less hassle for you—just focus on laying the perfect bead.

HEPA-Grade Protection

Not all filters are created equal. The Miniflex uses a multi-stage system that includes a HEPA filter, the gold standard for air purification. This is critical if you are welding materials that produce dangerous fumes, like hexavalent chromium from stainless steel. It even includes an activated carbon filter to help cut down on that metallic smell and ozone, making the shop environment more pleasant for everyone.

Compact and Quiet

Unlike massive wall-mounted units, the Miniflex fits under workbenches and in tight corners. It runs quietly, so you don't have to shout over a roaring fan. This specific model runs on 230V power (50Hz), offering robust suction power for professional environments. It comes with the hose and nozzle you need to get started immediately. Protect your lungs and improve your workspace with a proven solution from Lincoln Electric.
