**Air purification systems that are essential, in addition to mandatory, in all workshops and body shops. WORKY designs and installs extracts systems for exhaust, welding fumes and sanding dust.**

 

**Exhaust** contains large amounts of harmful substances: carbon monoxide, non-burnt hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide; **dust** released from vehicle body **sanding** processes and **welding fumes** are also harmful. All these substances, if inhaled, irritate mucous and, in the long-run, damage the respiratory tract.

 

## Air purification systems are mandatory

For this reason, it is essential (in addition to being legally mandatory) for each workshop to be equipped with **air purification systems**, thus systems able to **extract polluted air, expel it and reintroduce it purified in the room**.

At WORKY, we manufacture air purification system specific to **workshops and body shops**: we have different types of air purification systems based on the type of service centre and its specific needs.

 

## Air purification systems: exhaust

Most harmful particles in the air in a workshop are contained in exhaust; fuel combustion emits carbon dioxide, non-burnt hydrocarbons and sulphur oxide that irritate mucous and, in the long run, can serious damage the respiratory tract.

 

 

To extract and expel exhaust from the workshop, **WORKY offers 4 types of** localised air purification systems:

- [fixed systems](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/exhaust-fume-extraction/fixed-systems-for-extracting-exhaust-fumes) (permanent installation, fixed station)
- [sliding systems](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/exhaust-fume-extraction/sliding-systems-for-extracting-exhaust-fumes) (permanent installation, sliding station)
- [stand-alone systems](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/exhaust-fume-extraction/stand-alone-systems-for-extracting-exhaust-fumes) (portable, small and compact, on wheels)
- [underfloor systems](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/exhaust-fume-extraction/underfloor-systems-for-extracting-exhaust-fumes) (permanent installation, fixed station, floor well extraction)

## Air purification systems: welding fumes

The second source of harmful subjects in workshops and body shops is welding: fumes and fine dust, harmful to operators, are released when welding metallic parts. Even **welding fumes are thus extracted at the source**: WORKY air purification systems are specifically designed to extract fumes before they reach the mechanic, **filter** air and reintroduce it after **deodorising** with active carbon.

 

 

**There are two types of purification filters:**

- [fixed](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/extraction-of-welding-fumes/fixed-systems-for-extracting-exhaust-fumes) (hinged wall or sliding arms, hoods and filters, extraction benches)
- [mobile](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/extraction-of-welding-fumes/movable-welding-fume-extraction-systems) (filters on wheels)

## Air purification systems: sanding dust

The third source of air pollution is vehicle **sanding**: the sander, in fact, produces a large amount of **plaster or primer dust** that not only harm body shop productivity - dirtying and tarnishing the environment - but can also harm operators' health.

Sanding dust extraction systems are thus directly installed on orbital sanders to capture particles before they spread. **WORKY systems can be**:

- [fixed](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/extraction-of-sanding-dust/fixed-systems-for-extracting-dust) (service unit - arms, panels, suspended heads, ducts - extraction hoses and turbine)
- [mobile](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/extraction-of-sanding-dust/movable-systems-for-extracting-dust) (portable systems and on wheels).
