Producing welding fumes is one of the problems to be managed as a consequence of metal welding. How to choose the right fume extractor?

 

The production of fumes due to sheet metal welding is, unfortunately, a constant in many industrial environments. The only way to prevent this from happening is to equip the workstations with fume extractors, capable of extracting the emissions in the bud. We are therefore talking about localised extraction.

How is it best to extract them?

WORKY fume extractors: fixed and mobile systems

To ensure localized extraction at the highest levels, WORKY has developed two lines of fume extractors: the first is made up of fixed systems, the second of mobile systems.

Fixed systems

Fixed systems for localized fume extraction require permanent installation. Depending on the specific need, fumes can be captured through:

  • wall-mounted or sliding articulated arms,
  • hoods
  • fume extractor benches.

It is then necessary to install a galvanised pipe inside which the fumes are conveyed - thanks to an electro-extractor - and then expelled outside if they cannot be filtered.

Trolley exhaust systems

A mobile fume extractor is a trolley-mounted filter with an articulated arm, easily transportable from one point to another in the work areas. After being extracted, fumes are filtered and then re-emitted into the work environment.

There are various models:

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

Localized extraction is a duty and necessity

The benefits of the right fume extraction system are many:

  • healthier work environment
  • multiple areas, even if located in different points of the same work environment, can be equipped with a dedicated extraction point
  • as a consequence, production is leaner and more efficient.
