Fume at the arc
Welding fume rises and disperses fast; extraction has to work within a metre of the weld to be effective.
Welding, cutting, grinding and polishing
Metal Processing
Metal processing creates fume at the arc and dust at the wheel. Both are captured best close to the source, which is why hoods and arms matter as much as the filter.
What makes metal processing dust difficult
Oil mist and coolant
Machining and polishing carry oil into the airstream, which blinds conventional media.
Moving workstations
In fabrication shops the work moves, so the extraction has to move with it.
How we approach it
- Self-supporting arms and mobile units for fume at the source
- Three-stage purification with a polishing filter for welding fume
- Washable and oil-resistant cartridge options for machining dust
