Welding Solutions: The Rollatron Portable Collector
What makes the portable dust collector a popular choice for welding smoke and fume? Nothing can get closer in than a fume extractor to capture the weld smoke at the source. And on a portable unit, the extractor arm is directly connected to the collector, making it a complete, compact system for capturing and collecting the weld smoke and recycling the clean, filtered air. The portable collector can also be moved and positioned exactly where it needs to be in the welding shop, thus making it the most flexible kind of source capture system.

What makes the Rollatron unique? As custom engineers and manufacturers, we were asked by an industrial air cleaning specialist to produce a robust portable dust collector for a large welding facility since no available standard portables were large enough to meet the needs for their applications on heavy equipment and machinery. As a result, having developed a powerful collector to meet the need, Filter 1 is able to offer this ultra-large portable dust collector to handle even the most demanding industrial operations, involving not only welding, but also gouging and grinding processes.
The Rollatron portable collector offers the following outstanding features:
- A 10-inch diameter extractor arm (8-inch arm also available)
- Three large capacity cartridge filters for 50-100% more filter area than standard portables
- A high 2500 CFM for 100% more airflow than most portable dust collectors
- Easy push-button cleaning that removes more than 95% of the particulate from the filters
