FilterMate Portable Exhausters

FilterMate Portable Exhausters

An accessory for the Demonstration Hood, XPert Balance Enclosure, Protector XVS Ventilation Station or Protector Work Station, the FilterMate uses a HEPA filter, carbon-based filter or a combination of both filters to remove hazardous powders, particulates or vapors from the exhaust air stream, returning filtered air to the environment.

Features

No ducting to the outside is required. FilterMate Portable Exhausters are available in models that use a HEPA filter, a carbon filter or both HEPA and carbon filters. Labconco ventilation specialists use an exclusive computerized modeling program that compares NIOSH data with your chemical usage to determine the right filter cell(s) for your application.

  • Compact, corrosion-resistant housing of powder-coated steel with rubber feet
  • Variable-speed, non-sparking motorized impeller
  • Quiet operation. Oversized HEPA filter, efficient impeller and perforated exhaust cover work together to provide lower system exhaust velocity and noise pressure levels
  • Inherently safe design. A negative pressure plenum surrounds the positive pressure impeller so that if a leak occurs, the unfiltered air is captured and refiltered
  • Sized for Protector Demonstration Hoods, Protector XVS Ventilation Stations, and Protector Work STations. Capable of efficiently filtering up to 250 CFM for HEPA or carbon filtration; up to 200 CFM for combination HEPA/carbon filtration (60-100 fpm depending on enclosure model)
  • Front-mounted rocker switch to control power to the blower
  • Rear-mounted, auxiliary electrical outlet that may be connected to an airflow monitor or other user-supplied accessories
  • Only one FilterMate is required for all 2', 3', and 4' wide enclosures. Multiple FilterMates may be used for 5', 6', and 8' wide enclosures
  • Includes 8' of 5" ID flexible gray polypropylene hose, two clamps, and a 4.88" OD Upper Transition Adapter for connection to the top of the PRotector XVS Ventilation Station, Protector Work Station, or Protector Demonstration Hood. Models 3970004 and 3970024 include a 4.88" OD Lower Transition Adapter instead of the Upper Transition Adapter
  • 6.5' IEC three-wire electrical cord with plug (115V models). 9' IEC three-wire electrical cord and electrical plug is required (230V models)
  • ETL listed (115V models)

Models 3970000, 3970020, 3970002, 3970022, 3970003, and 3970023 Feature

  • HEPA filter, 99.99% efficient on particulates 0.3 micron in size
  • True bag-in/bag-out filter disposal system for safely removing and replacing the filter without detaching the hose. The HEPA filter may be easily accessed by removing the exhaust cover for field leak testing by a certified technician

Models 3970002 and 3970022 Feature

  • 6.06" ID thimble connection from the FilterMate to an existing house exhaust system for added safety

Options

  • International electrical configuration
  • Models are available for use with a HEPA filter for particulate contaminant removal, with a carbon filter for gaseous contaminant removal, or with a combination of both filters. Models for use with a HEPA filter include the HEPA filter. Models for use with a carbon filter require purchase of the filter (sold separately)
  • Models designed for connection to an existing house exhaust system when ducting back into the room is not desired

Required Accessories

  • Models 3970001, 3970021, 3970003, and 3970023 require one each:
    • Carbon Filter
    • Organic Vapor Cell, Formaldehyde Impregnated Cell, or Ammonia Impregnated Cell
  • Models 3970004 and 3970024 require two each:
    • Carbon Filter
    • Organic Vapor Cell, Formaldehyde Impregnated Cell, or Ammonia Impregnated Cell
  • Combination models can support the use of two carbon filters by removing the HEPA filter

Optional Accessories

  • Replacement HEPA Filter
  • Replacement Bag-In/Bag-Out Bag
  • Flexible Hose
  • Thimble Connection

Compliance

  • UL 61010-1
  • CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1
  • CE/UKCA Conformity Marking (230V models)
