1 SAFETY
WARNING!
Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions
when welding and cutting. Ask for your employer's safety practices which should be
based on manufacturers' hazard data.
ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill
• Install and earth the unit in accordance with applicable standards
• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or
wet clothing
• Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece
• Ensure your working stance is safe
FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health
• Keep your head out of the fumes
• Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away
from your breathing zone and the general area
ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin
• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and
wear protective clothing
• Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains
FIRE HAZARD
• Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no
inflammable materials nearby
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing
• Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
• Warn bystanders of the risk
MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating.

2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The OPC flux recovery unit is intended for use on stationary and transportable welding units,
where a small, compact flux recovery unit is needed,
Maximum permissible air pressure: 6 kp/cm2
Air consumption at various pressures:
kp/cm² 4 5 6
liter/min 175 225 250
Rubber parts in the flux recovery unit can withstand temperatures encountered when using
preheated flux at up to 220 °C and with workpiece temperatures not exceeding 350 °C.
NOTE!
A metal flux hopper must be used.
Suction capacity data can be found in chapter "MAINTENANCE" of this manual.
The OPC flux recovery unit consists of:
1. Ejector, powered by compressed
air.
The side of the ejector intended
for connection to the cyclone is
fitted with a flange.
Connections are provided on the
other side of the ejector for the
suction hose and compressed air
hose 1/4 ".
2. Suction hose, connects the
recovery unit to the suction nozzle.
3. Suction nozzle, available in four
versions:
○ for normal butt welds
○ for larger butt welds
○ for fillet welds, left
○ for fillet welds, right
4. Nozzle bracket, holds the flux
recovery nozzle in position above
the weld.
5. Flux hopper, optional accessories.
6. Cyclone, for separating the
recovered flux from the air and
returning it to the flux hopper.
Fitted above the flux hopper.
7. Securing strap
8. Filter bag
2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The flux hopper consists of:
1. Flux strainer, separates slag from flux
2. Flux hopper (10 l)
3. Flux hose, 1"×500 mm
4. Inspection window, for checking flux level
5. Manual flux valve
6. Adjustable flux outlet nozzle, for fitting to the welding head
3 OPERATION
0333 125 001 -7- © ESAB AB 2019
3 OPERATION
1. Check that the equipment is properly installed and that all hoses are secured.
2. Check that the flux valve is closed.
3. Fill the flux hopper with flux.
4. Open the flux valve, allowing the flux to run down on to the weld joint through the
supply nozzle.
5. Start welding and the suction unit at the same time. Unused flux will be sucked up
through the suction nozzle and hose into the cyclone, where the flux will be separated
from the slag. The flux falls through the strainer into the flux hopper, while the
dust-laden air is cleaned by the filter bag before being discharged.
6. Dimension drawing can be found in chapter "DIMENSION DRAWING" of this manual.
4 MAINTENANCE
0333 125 001 -8- © ESAB AB 2019
4 MAINTENANCE
1. Check that the rubber lining of the cyclone is undamaged, and replace it if necessary.
2. Check that all gaskets and joints are sealing properly.
3. Replace the filter bag when indicated by suction effect falling off after about 3-5
working hours. Performance can be improved by shaking the filter bag clean between
replacements.
