Welding fume extractors

We have always designed vacuum solutions, and themachine shop is the focus of our attention. Welding fume extractors make it possible to improve the air quality inside rooms used for mechanical processing. In fact, during the processes of machining and treatment of metal surfaces, fumes and fine dust (with microparticles of dust in suspension even smaller than 0.1 µm in diameter) are continuously produced, which if inhaled can bring serious consequences for the health of operators. Specifically, welding processes, which allow the final joining of two metal components by means of a localized heat source emitted from a flashlight, give off health-damaging fumes, gases and vapors that must be removed using an air extractor. Therefore, this activity must be conducted by paying special attention to the figure of the welder and the environment in which he or she works.
Extraction of gases, vapors or fumes should be done as close as possible to the place where they are produced. Occupational exposure limit values(ELVs) stipulate that the average concentration of pollutants must never be exceeded within a worker’s breathing zones. These values are developed based on scientific data provided directly by the Ministry of Health, with the aim of limiting the presence of dispersed dust and microparticles in the work environment.
Dupuy’s range of fume extractors dedicated to the world of welding presents a series of effective tools to prevent toxic fumes from being dispersed into the work environment and thus being inhaled by operators. The best way to achieve this is to act directly at the source of emission, sucking up the fumes and dust released during processing, and also purifying them of the chemical and harmful substances present with the support of a welding fume extractor.
All our smoke extractors are equipped with a powerful suction fan and an articulated self-supporting arm ideal for localized suction. Compact size facilitates mobility between workstations quickly and easily. These machines are essential for optimal air quality maintenance in body shops, carpentries, machine shops, shipyards, and manufacturing enterprises.
