Increased productivity is to a large extent linked to the working environment: an organisation, which takes into account the health and safety of employees where they work in harmony, creates favourable conditions for a climate of well-being and thus for more efficient work over time.
How does a fume extraction system fit into this context?

Fume extractor & efficiency: the link
Welding fumes are produced as a result of the high temperature that melts materials and turns them into steam. When this cools, solid microparticles are produced, which can be very hazardous to the health of operators.
A welding fume extraction system ensures that these particles are removed before they are spread in the working area, making the environment as healthy as possible for the employees.
A healthy and clean working environment promotes productivity; however, this is not the only reason why a welding fume extractor system improves efficiency.
In addition to the healthiness of the workshop, it is necessary that:
- those involved in welding activities can move around without obstacles
- the necessary tools are always at hand
- technicians and welders have at their disposal modern, easy-to-use technologies
All these factors are essential for productivity. Working in a company that provides modern systems that make work easier and faster will be a great advantage for workers as well. In addition to more tasks to be completed in less time, new, innovative technologies reduce the risk of error and guarantee high quality finishings.
This translates into customer satisfaction and, consequently, into higher profits for the company!
The choice of the most suitable fume extractor, therefore, should not be underestimated because it can have enormous consequences for the entire company business.
Let's see what solutions are available on the market today.
Solutions for extracting welding fumes
Fixed smoke extractor
A fixed system - i.e. permanently installed in a defined area of the workshop - is to be considered when operators do not need to move to different areas of the company, but welding takes place in a well-defined space.
A fixed system usually consists of articulated arms, hoods of various sizes or welding benches, connected individually or in series to a fan, which extracts the fumes.
The welding bench consists of a table top and side walls that suck in toxic fumes and collect them in a special drawer, which can then be removed and emptied quickly and easily. The remaining smoke is then sucked in by a special filter-extraction system.
The advantage of these welding benches is that they can also serve as normal workbenches, thus optimising even the tightest of spaces.
Mobile extraction systems
Mobile extractors are trolley-mounted units that can be moved easily, displacing them where necessary. When there is no dedicated welding area, mobile units are the ideal solution.
Both fixed systems and mobile solutions are designed to extract fumes at the source of production, preventing them from spreading into the environment and reaching the operator. The latest generation of systems ease the work of technicians and operators, allowing them to carry out each task in less time; this means completing more work and, therefore, increasing profits.
Improving productivity means taking a series of actions to create an optimal working environment that allows employees to perform their tasks with peace of mind and safety.
Not only will employees feel part of a dynamic and modern reality, but they will be able to work precisely, quickly and safely, thanks to practical, functional and intuitive facilities.
