Fortaco was managing welding fume problems with extraction arms. Because of the size of working pieces, welders could not relocate extraction arms when changing a welding position.
Arginta Engineering decided that they needed extra protection against welding/cutting fumes and grinding dust.
Airborne micro particles of dust produced by paper and cardboard boxes - but also rubber particles from transportation belts and truck wheels are found in logistic centers such as at Tollpost Globe AS in Norway.
In the Arcos de Valdevez training centre of CENFIM various levels of metalworking and welding education are provided.
In order to protect the employees and to offer them a pleasant working environment, ADF realized the necessity to keep the workshop free from welding fumes.
Welding and grinding for dry application as well as oil mist captured via hoods for tempering furnaces as well as local extraction for processing machinery.
CSM prioritises the working environment of its employees and had been operating a number of mobile source extractors. But this was insufficient, and the welders were suffering as a result.
Ventilation was not considered in the development stage of the facility and was, therefore, very poor with only natural air flow through open doors and windows and some ‘whirlybirds’ in the roof of the building.
ACV wanted a welding fume extraction system for this new workshop. Consequently, they decided to bring in a specialist who would be able to provide a solution to fulfil their requirements.
The production activities at Baltimore Aircoil require a lot of metalworking and welding. The company concluded for itself that the extraction of welding fumes and hazardous gases in the production halls could be improved.
