The Benchtron meets OSHA requirements for respirable dust down to .05MGM3, with adjustable suction velocities of 150 to 800 FPM in the "working zone." High efficiency filters remove 99.9% of all particles 12 micron and larger. The unit features automatic self-cleaning, flourescent lighting, and the Regain Air, "PushPull" technology pioneered by Filter 1 to provide a blanket of clean air in the "breathing zone."
