Flexi Arms 2, 3 and 4 metres

Because the joints are out of the polluted air stream, the Flexi Arm is uniquely suitable for dusts as well as fumes, gases and mists. Combined with its easy internal access feature, this makes the Arm a natural choice for corrosive pollutants, or when equipment must be decontaminated on a regular basis.

Designed as an integral part of the Ozone Pollution Technology range, Arms simply connect directly to mobile and fixed Extractors and filtered Cleaners, as well as Ozone Beams and Duct Kits. A Wall Bracket accessory is also available.

The Ozone Flexi Arm sets a new benchmark for at-source pollution control. Try one, and experience the working environment of the future.

Continuing the Ozone tradition of product innovation is the stunning, new generation Flexi Arm. Our engineers have perfected this revolutionary, all-solid design years ahead of its time.

By using "solid" joints instead of flexible hose, the problems normally associated with arms have been eliminated. Flexible hose restricts airflow, becomes contaminated and is easily damaged - problems which affect both efficiency and maintenance costs.

With its all-solid design, the genuinely industrial Flexi Arm offers maximum strength and reliability. Through the use of aluminium and special polymers, weight has also been reduced making it effortless to use.

The unique joints provide remarkable flexibility, yet will remain precisely in any position. The evolutionary wrist joint bends backward and forward and also rotates due to its innovative ball-socket design. This flexibility allows the Arm inlet face to be positioned anywhere the operator wishes.

The low pressure drop design of the smoothly contoured Arm allows high airflows to be achieved by compact, power efficient extractors. In multi-arm systems, ducting design and extractor selection is now much simpler. Unlike conventional arms with flexible hose, the Ozone Flexi Arm does not “pinch” when folded up, so performance remains high no matter what position the arm is in.

Thanks to its efficient design, the Arm can capture pollutant and draw it sideways, away from the operator's breathing zone. The arm does not have to be positioned above the pollutant where it is likely to interfere with the operator. The internally flanged hood can be positioned flush against a bench or work surface to further increase the Arm's performance.

Adding to its versatility, the Flexi Arm can be customised by the operator. When a standard length Arm does not suit an application the upper and/or forearms can be shortened. The Flexi Arm is complemented by some useful accessories. Dampers can be fitted into the wrist joint and between the Arm and connecting ductwork to balance airflow in a multi-arm system. Limit Stops can be attached to restrict the degree of rotation at the neck joint. This can prevent the Arm from striking walls or overhead lights for instance. The Light Kit accessory has a bright halogen low voltage globe and is located out of the airstream. It includes all cables, clips, transformer and operating switch. The Converter allows outmoded arms to be upgraded to Ozone Flexi Arms. It incorporates the mounting hole pattern of commonly used Arms.

Mounting an Arm on a Fixed or Hinged Beam significantly increases its working reach. The Arm swivels 360° so the area back under the Beam is also covered.

Mounting two Flexi Arms on a Duct Kit, which in turn is directly connected to an Extractor, is an ideal system for side-by-side work stations.

Flexi Arm 1.5 metre

There are times when working space is so restricted it is impossible to use a standard Flexi Arm. Small welding bays in technical colleges are good examples. In response to this Ozone has developed a customised shorter Arm. As the Arm requires less flexibility it does not have an elbow joint. The single, solid duct section can be shortened further by the operator, if required. Performance and reliability are not diminished and the Arm retains its unique wrist joint. With its all-solid design and protected joints, the Arm is the ideal choice for colleges and training workshops.

Duct Kits

Extractors

Multi-arm systems can be easily designed using an Ozone Duct Kit: from the simple two-arm KD0 kit pictured on the previous page to as many as four arms connected over a 6 metre distance by the KD4 kit. The Duct Kits have been sized to suit airflows of 200L/s per inlet, making them perfect for most welding fume or gas extraction applications.

For a one inlet system, the Flexi Arm connects directly to a PX3-F Pollution Extractor. This, in turn, connects to the mounting surface - an elegant combination, which is simple to install. A two arm system connects to the PX4-F extractor by using the Duct Kit. These Pollution Extractors come with Ozone's unique dual-flow feature which allows them to be configured to deliver right angle or in-line flow.

Larger systems, of 3 to 8 Arms, are served by System Extractors. Q1, Q2 and Q4 models are available in wall, roof or duct mounted configurations. These remarkably versatile products come complete with Spigots and mounting facilities, so that installation is simple.

Applications

(Curves show total system pressure loss including entry loss at wrist joint & transition loss at neck joint to 200mm Ø downstream duct, for typical working position: shoulder & elbow at 120o & wrist in standard position).

(Curves show fan static & fan total pressure gains for right angle flow without guards & with 200mm Ø ducted inlet & ducted outlet, BS848 type D test. Other configurations yield higher or lower curves).

(Curves show fan static pressure gain for a vertical discharge roof unit, with 300mm Ø ducted inlet and free outlet, BS848 type C test. Fan total pressure curves are almost identical).

Ozone products are shown in blue. All necessary connections are included with the products, so they simply bolt together. The "words" in each box fully describe the set of Ozone products to be ordered for a complete system. See Accessories section for codes.
