Description

The AFS F70R-PG3 Ceiling-Mounted Air Filtration System is an industrial air cleaner designed to capture fine airborne dust, smoke, and other particulates generated during metalworking operations. Mounted overhead, it continuously filters shop air to improve air quality, reduce airborne contaminants, and create a cleaner, safer working environment. It is intended to supplement source dust collection systems, not replace them.

Applications

  • Removing fine airborne metal dust and grinding particles.
  • Improving air quality throughout the metal shop.
  • Capturing welding fumes and light smoke when used with the appropriate filters.
  • Reducing dust buildup on equipment and work surfaces.
  • Supplementing machine dust collection systems.

Guides

How to Use

Setup

  1. Verify the unit is securely mounted to the ceiling.
  2. Ensure the filters are installed correctly and are clean.
  3. Plug the unit into the appropriate power source.
  4. Confirm that the intake and exhaust openings are unobstructed.

Operation

  1. Turn on the air filtration system before beginning work.
  2. Select the desired fan speed, if applicable.
  3. Allow the unit to run continuously while grinding, sanding, or machining.
  4. Leave the unit running for several minutes after work is complete to remove remaining airborne particles.

Shutdown

  1. Turn the unit off after the shop air has been sufficiently cleaned.
  2. Disconnect power before performing maintenance or replacing filters.

General Tips and Safety

  • This unit is designed to supplement local dust collection—it should not replace dust extraction at the source.
  • Inspect filters regularly and replace them when airflow is noticeably reduced or as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Never operate the unit without the filters properly installed.
  • Keep the intake and exhaust areas free of obstructions.
  • Disconnect power before servicing or replacing filters.
  • Periodically inspect the ceiling mounting hardware to ensure the unit remains securely fastened.
