Extraction at source is the most effective welding fume extraction solution International health organizations recognize the importance of preventing the health risks associated with fumes produced during arc welding and thermal cutting.In many countries, strict personal exposure regulations and standards, such as OSHA, PEL, or ACGIH TLVs, are strictly enforced to minimize worker exposure to hazardous metal particles that may be present in welding fume.Ventilation is the primary solution for reducing employee exposure to welding fumes.Since welding fume is a thermal process, the particles are suspended in the surrounding air space.As the plume cools, the particles settle into the workspace.It is built on workstations and can infiltrate machines and electronics, causing damage and requiring additional housekeeping which adds another layer of maintenance and overhead.
At worker health and safety are top priorities as they affect process efficiency, productivity, quality, cost and the successful completion of work.Our solutions start with process, so we understand jobs and worker procedures.After a thorough analysis and interviews, we recommend a solution that will best protect workers while maintaining efficiency, productivity, quality and work area cleanliness. Education and training are an important part of any successful solution.The client will be introduced to the approach to the solution, the operation of the extraction equipment and the integration with process and system maintenance.
Extraction at source is the most efficient capturing solution for welding and cutting fumes
Wherever a solution is available, extraction at source has proven to be the most effective and efficient method of capturing and removing welding and similar fumes.Using this method, the risk of the welder or operator being affected by harmful fumes is minimized.
Centralized and custom engineered solutions to control and reduce welding and cutting fumes from common welding processes including MIG, TIG, GMAW, FCAW or SMAW in production environments.With over 60 years of industry experience, we can provide application reviews, solution recommendations and implementation, system design, engineering and installation, product and system support, commissioning, diagnostics and service maintenance programs to assist with clean air regulations and standards and energy-saving solutions .The necessary components to achieve proper source capture of welding fumes are an easily located fume extractor with a well designed hood, proper airflow through the fume extractor and a conscientious welder who will move the harmful fumes from his Place the hood or her breathing zone in a way that sucks up while working to avoid spreading fumes in the house.
Welding smoke and fume extraction at-source with arms
A wide range of extraction arms in different designs.Full flexibility and easy positioning.The arm can be mounted on stationary and mobile vacuum and filtration units.
Extraction arm
The most effective solution for removing and mitigating welding fume is extraction at close quarters or at the source.These arms, sometimes called snorkels, vary in diameter and length and can be placed 6 to 15 inches from the welding fume generator, which typically draws 500 to 1,000 CFM.Variations in arm design and style are such that there is a model available for different applications where the arm needs to fit in tight workspaces or where the arm must be able to reach a distance of 20 feet or more,has a wide range of welding fume extraction arms in different designs, fully flexible and easy to position to suit many applications.The arm can be mounted on stationary and mobile vacuum and filtration units.
