Yes, a fume extraction system improves the efficiency of the workshop. However, some conditions are necessary. Only a system that really meets the needs of the workshop can promote productivity, ensuring an optimal working environment.
We discuss about it in today’s article!
Fume extraction system: how to choose it to improve productivity
Fume and gas extraction systems are necessary in workshop since, during processing, some substances released into the evironment can be harmful for workers.
Removing these substances is crucial not only to protect the people’s health, but also to improve workshop efficiency.
Productivity is closely linked to the working environment. Working in a company that cares about protecting the health and safety of its employees, by providing modern and cutting-edge equipment has a very positive impact in terms of satisfaction! An organization in which you breathe an atmosphere of well-being creates the right conditions for greater efficiency over time.
This is also linked to the fact that the latest generation of equipment are much simpler and allow to perform quicker, saving valuable time and ensuring very good results.
This means that you have the opportunity to complete more vehicles in less time, thus increasing productivity and margins.
The choice of a correct fumes extraction system, therefore, shouldn’t be underestimated because it can have a great impact on the company’s turnover!
Let’s see the best solutions according to your needs.
Solutions for fume and gas extraction from the workshop
First of all, we have to consider which kind of vehicles has to be handled inside the workshop. Heavy duty vehicles such as trucks, vans, military or agricultural vehicles have to be treated/handled with different equipment from passenger cars workshops. Heavy vehicles are much more powerful and produce higher volumes of fumes and gases, therefore require special systems for exhaust gas extraction.
In addition, the fumes produced by these vehicles can reach very high temperatures, which require the use of specific hoses and pipes that can withstand even a thousand degrees.
Also, the mufflers are different from cars’ one: they are larger and of different shapes. Considering that a gas extraction system must remove the fumes directly from the mufflers, specific nozzles will be necessary, suitable for these needs and handled from the ground.
Another important factor to be considered is the space available. In order to be efficient, it is important to have enough space in the workshop where workers are free to move from one area to another. In this case, the initial design of the workshop is essential: the supplier must be able to evaluate which is the most appropriate solution, also considering this aspect, in addition to the necessary extracting power.
In case of no huge extraction needs and, above all, there is not an area intended only for this activity, it is advisable to exclude a fixed system (which, therefore, cannot be moved), but suggest a mobile system, which guarantees excellent extraction, but it can move easily.
On the other hand, if the space available is really limited and the workshop is newly built, installing an underfloor system can be an excellent idea. Being placed - precisely - under the floor, they can be removed only in case of need and stored when not in use.
When deciding to install a new extraction system, it is important to rely on a competent supplier, who can analyze and recognize the real needs of the company and recommend the most functional solutions.
Functional means that, in addition to meet the current needs of the workshop, it must fit the future targets to ensure long-term efficiency, protecting the health of employees and ensuring a well-being oriented work environment.
WORKY, thanks to its team of experts, on request, can take care of the design and the implementation of the fume extraction system, including integration with existing buildings, also realizing a 3D rendering to evaluate the final project.
