Let's see how WORKY is able to design 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 generated.

WORKY offers custom welding fume extraction solutions designed to meet the specific needs of the work environment, and to ensure 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 needs 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 is one that’s more efficient and meets the customer’s current needs, but is 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 is capable of adapting to the place for which it is designed, and improves the healthiness of the surrounding environment, helping to optimize 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 manner.

Fume extraction fixed systems are systems that require permanent installation. Depending on the specific needs, a fixed fume extraction system can consist 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 deodorize 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 best meets 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 

 

Ask WORKY and place your trust in people who are capable of creating an entirely new world all around you.
