Exhaust gases contain substances that can damage workers' health, from milder problems such as colds to more serious symptoms such as breathing difficulties and lungs damage. This is why legislation requires the removal of exhaust gases from workplaces.
A touchless extraction arm is an innovative, universal and ultra-versatile solution that can solve the problem of noxious gas extraction.
We discuss this in today's article!
Why choose a touchless extraction arm for the workshop
In order to effectively remove exhaust gases from the working areas, it is necessary to install suitable extraction systems that meet the specific needs of the workshop.
In fact, the gases, being composed of very fine dust, cannot be filtered, but must be removed directly from the source and evacuated to the outside.
This is the only way to avoid dangerous consequences on people's health and to ensure a healthy and efficient workplace.
In a world where speed, efficiency and quality of work are top priorities, it is necessary to have equipment that provide maximum performance.
Touchless technology is a cutting-edge, versatile and high-performance solution that not only ensures maximum safety for workers, but also makes the workshop an innovative and modern place.
But what is a touchless extraction arm?
The principle behind the touchless technology consist of a self-supporting arm backed by a sophisticated system of springs and clutches, which allows exhaust gases to be extracted without coming into contact with the vehicles exhaust.
The arm is suspended at a minimum distance from the exhaust, so as to extract the gases without any dispersion into the surrounding environment.
Let's see what, specifically, are the advantages of this touchless extraction arm.
Cost savings on nozzles
Due to its suspended design, the touchless extraction arm does not come into contact with the vehicles muffler, making it a universal solution and effectively eliminating the need for specific nozzles. This translates into significant cost savings on adaptors, which then become superfluous.
Considering the evolution of cars, which every year are equipped with modified exhaust systems, and therefore with different specifications, the touchless arm allows significant savings in the long term.
Time saving
Thanks to the arm design supported by springs and clutches, operating this extraction system is really quick and easy.
By pulling the arm by the rope and bringing it closer to the muffler, the technician will then have finished what we can consider the operations to put the extraction system into operation.
Compared to other systems, such as those that are hooked to the muffler, we have considerable time saving and an impressive ease of use.
Another point in favour of this system is the fact that there is no need for specific nozzles. Technicians often spend time changing these accessories that are essential for the correct extraction of fumes, whereas with this system this task will be considerably quicker and more agile.
Reducing the risk of damage
The touchless technology, as it does not have to be attached directly to the muffler, also avoids possible damage to the bodywork caused by small hits and resulting in scratches.
This is a great advantage for those who carry out this activity, because it effectively neutralises the risks involved in these operations and the technician can therefore work without worries, concentrating fully on what his job is.
Space optimisation
A contactless system eliminates the need for different nozzles, which inevitably take up space in the warehouse.
As a result, storage areas are also tidier and it is possible to use that space for other purposes.
And that's not all: when not in use, the touchless arm sits above the working area without creating obstacles or hindering the operators' work. It is therefore an unobtrusive solution that contributes to making the workshop much more efficient.
In order to obtain these advantages from the purchase of an exhaust gas extraction system, it is necessary to rely on a competent supplier, who knows how to realise a tailor-made project for the workshop or body shop, assessing the specific requirements regarding:
- available space
- type of work carried out
- power needs
- planned budget
WORKY technicians can develop customised projects, tailored to the needs of the individual customer, analysing each reality in depth and then studying ad hoc solutions.
