Tip Extraction Collector (TEC)

Raising The Bar in Source Capture Fume Extraction

Introducing the ProStar™ Tip Extraction Fume Collectors (TEC)

Easy Operation and
Effi cient Collection

Praxair helps you reduce your employees’
exposure to harmful welding particulates.
When paired with a fume extraction torch,
the high-powered Prostar Tip Extraction
Collector (TEC) delivers fume extraction at
the tip of the welding torch. By capturing
more particulate closer to the source and
pulling the fumes through the gun, operator
exposure to welding fume is greatly reduced.

HEPA Rated Washable Cartridge Filter

The ProStar TEC delivers, on average, greater than 95% collection efficiency for in position welds in accordance to
the AWS F1-2 standard. The E11 rated PTFE filter is washable, so a single filter can last years when properly
maintained. A safety monitoring filter (SMF) is also available for all ProStar TECs. This after-filter prevents dust
collected by the TEC from potentially reentering the workspace, should a main filter failure occur. This option is
required by OSHA for certain types of hazardous dusts.

Standard Pressure, High Pressure and Dual-Torch Options

The three TEC units have, at their core, variable speed, brushless, DC multi-stage bypass blowers enabling users to
easily dial in the right airflow. The blowers are rated at 100% duty cycle for an impressive 30,000 hours – they can be
relied upon for a long service life.
