ALLCLEAR TA500 DOWNDRAFT & BACKDRAFT 3PH/415V
ALLCLEAR® TA500 Fume Extraction Grinding & Welding Table
Heavy-Duty Backdraft & Downdraft Table for Welding, Grinding & Cutting
The ALLCLEAR® TA500 is a heavy-duty mobile fume extraction table built for serious fabrication work. Unlike standard downdraft-only tables, the TA500 combines downdraft and backdraft capture, pulling fumes both down through the work surface and back away from the operator — giving more complete protection across a wider range of welding, grinding, and cutting processes.
Powered by a 2.2kW motor delivering up to 2,500m³/hr airflow, the TA500 clears fume and dust fast, keeping the operator's breathing zone cleaner even during extended fabrication jobs. An automatic filter cleaning system keeps suction strong with less manual maintenance and downtime, while the cleanable, reusable F9 cartridge filter (14m² of filter area) reduces ongoing filter replacement costs. An optional H13 HEPA filter upgrade is available for applications requiring finer particulate capture.
Built for real workshop use, the table features a spacious 1500 x 550mm work surface with a robust 5mm-thick worktop and a 500kg load capacity, plus hinged side panels that make it easy to handle longer workpieces. A 10A ~230V power outlet at the front of the table also provides convenient power for tools like grinders and welders while you work.

Best Suited For
The TA500 is designed for welding, grinding, and cutting fume extraction, including MIG, flux-core, stick, and TIG welding of steel or stainless steel, general grinding, plasma cutting, and oxy cutting, brazing, and soldering. It is not suitable for extracting aluminium dust, oil mist, gases, or water vapour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ALLCLEAR TA500 different from other downdraft tables? The TA500 combines both downdraft and backdraft fume extraction in one table, capturing fumes from both below and behind the work area. This gives more complete coverage than downdraft-only tables, particularly for processes that generate fumes at different angles.
What power supply does the TA500 require? The TA500 runs on 415V 3-phase power and requires a 5-pin plug. It should be installed by a qualified electrician, as phase rotation wiring can vary between facilities.
What processes can the TA500 be used for? The TA500 is suitable for welding (MIG, flux-core, stick, TIG), grinding, plasma cutting, and oxy cutting, brazing, and soldering of steel or stainless steel.
Does the TA500 have automatic filter cleaning? Yes. The TA500 features an automatic filter cleaning system that helps maintain consistent suction performance and reduces manual maintenance and downtime.
What size workpieces can the TA500 handle? The table has a 1500 x 550mm work surface with a 500kg load capacity, and hinged side panels that allow longer objects to be placed on the table.
Can the TA500 be upgraded with a HEPA filter? Yes. While the standard filter is a cleanable, reusable F9 cartridge filter, an optional H13 HEPA filter upgrade is available for applications requiring finer filtration.
Is the TA500 suitable for aluminium grinding? No. Like other ALLCLEAR downdraft/backdraft tables, the TA500 should not be used to extract aluminium dust, oil mist, gases, or water vapour, due to fire/explosion risk and potential filter damage.
