Welding & cutting fume removal

At source extraction

Only with at-source extraction is the welder protected and accumulation of welding fumes in the workshop prevented. Source capture methods are preferably integrated in the workspace such as a downdraft and backdraft workbench which is a combination of workbench and fume extractor. Other methods are extraction arms that can be easily positioned close to the source or welding guns with integrated fume extraction.

• Downdraft and backdraft workbench
• Extraction arms
• Extraction hoods
• Mobile filters
• Stationary filters (in combination with arms)
• Multiple arm systems

Isolate welding area

When extraction close to the source is not possible, the next best method is separation of the source from the rest of the workshop. If possible, even from the welder by welding mechanization or the use of welding robots. Extraction hoods with welding strips enclosing the welding process are in these cases the preferred solution. Workers near the extraction hood are protected, those working inside an extraction hood will require additional personal protection.

Plymovent has a full set of controls and accessories to customize the system to your local needs. Design parameters are ease of use, flexibility, energy consumption and noise level.

• Extraction hoods
• Stationary filters

General filtration

Sometimes at source capture and welding hoods cannot provide a total solution. In those cases, general air cleaning and ventilation together with personal protection is the preferred method. With this approach accumulated fumes in the workshop are captured and filtered.

• Diluter system
