Weller Tools Compact H12 HEPA Filter with Gas Filter

The Weller Tools Compact H12 HEPA Filter is a sophisticated, multi-stage filtration accessory designed for the Weller WFE2S model volume fume extraction systems. It combines a true HEPA filter with an advanced wide band gas filter, providing comprehensive protection against a broad spectrum of airborne contaminants in professional soldering and electronics work environments. This dual-action filtration system is engineered to safeguard both the operator's health and sensitive electronic components by efficiently removing both particulate matter and noxious fumes directly at the source.

The primary stage features an H12 HEPA filter that is highly effective at capturing microscopic particles. This component removes a minimum of 99.5% of particles as small as 0.18 micrometres, including fine dust, smoke, and other aerosols generated during soldering and rework processes. For handling larger particles and extending the life of the main HEPA element, the unit is equipped with an M5 medium dust pre-filter. This pre-filter captures coarser dust, preventing premature clogging of the more delicate HEPA media and ensuring optimal airflow and filter longevity.

The secondary filtration stage consists of a wide band gas filter designed to neutralise harmful chemical vapours and odours. This filter utilises a powerful combination of 50% granular activated carbon and 50% Puratex, a specialised adsorbent material, to effectively absorb a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other gases released from flux, solder, and cleaning agents. Together, this robust construction delivers exceptional air purification performance in a remarkably compact form factor, making it an essential component for maintaining a clean and safe workspace.
