Fume Collectors

In welding operations, workers are in a daily contact with harmful weld fume particulate. Most of these particles are respirable (enter the lungs), which makes it critical to have reliable, high-performance fume collectors, weld fume extraction and weld smoke filters that collect the fume before it reaches your welder’s breathing zone.​

Sources of Fumes

Welding and cutting applications create fumes containing sub-micron particulate that can enter the lungs a cause serious damage to employees.

In automated welding applications, this particulate can increase robot wear and decrease productivity. It is important to extract welding fumes from the air and collect them safely, for both employees and machinery.

Fume Extraction at Source

The most effective way to collect welding fumes is to extract them from the air as close to the source as possible.

Portable Welding Fume Extraction Systems

Often welding operations occur away from the production line. This occurs during maintenance operations and sometimes during intermittent or occasional production. In these cases it advantageous to have portable units that can be moved to the welding site rather than moving production to the extraction point. For this we carry a line of portable welding-fume collectors.

Down-draft Welding Benches

In the case of small-part welding operations, it is often desirable to work on a bench. Our downdraft welding benches offer a surface to work and down-draft and back-draft to collect the welding fumes. These down-draft benches can be connected to the main dust-collection ventilation system.
