Let's examine how WORKY designs highly functional and efficient fume extraction solutions.

 

The activities carried out in the mechanical engineering and shipbuilding industries often involve frequent and intensive welding operations.  In both cases, extremely high volumes of welding fumes are produced.

WORKY offers custom welding fume extraction solutions designed to meet the specific needs of the work environment, and to guarantee the health and safety of the workers.

 

How we design a fume extraction system

In addition to our expertise and years of experience, the careful listening to the customer's actual requirements for their specific situation is one of the main factors that allows us to design and offer a wide range of highly functional custom fume extraction systems and solutions.

For us, a more functional solution means one that’s more efficient and meets the customer’s current needs, but that’s also designed to last over time in terms of quality, with the possibility of adapting to any new needs that may arise. A functional fume extraction solution must be capable of adapting to the place for which it is designed, and improving the healthiness of the surrounding environment, helping to optimise and expedite the operations carried out therein.

There are numerous rules governing the methods for protecting technicians at the workplace. Thanks to its team of experts, WORKY is capable of handling the design and construction aspects of your welding fume extraction system upon request, including its integration with any other systems already present on site.

 

Our range of welding fume extraction systems

Fume extraction systems can be installed in a fixed o portable manner.

Fume extraction fixed systems are systems that require permanent installation. Depending on the specific needs, a fixed fume extraction system can be made up of:

  • wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or sliding articulated arms
  • hoods
  • extraction benches

Depending on the requirements and the local regulations, once extracted at the source, the fumes can be

  • filtered and released back into the environment,
  • expelled directly outdoors,
  • filtered and subsequently expelled outdoors

WORKY’s range of filters includes bag filters and cartridge filters. Both solutions can be accompanied by post-filtration with activated carbon to deodorise the filtered fumes and, where possible, emit them back into the work environment, in order to avoid loss of heat outdoors.

 

If a mobile unit is the fume extraction solution that’s best suited to your needs, WORKY can offer you welding fume extraction mobile units equipped with filters and one or two articulated arms.

The main advantage of these trolley-mounted units is their versatility: they can be easily moved from point to point throughout the work area. Thanks to the filters contained within the unit, the fumes are purified for re-emission back into the work environment. Based on the requirements, they can be equipped with:

  • a 1.5 HP or 3 HP extractor
  • bag filters or cartridge filters
