3 reasons to install an industrial fumes extraction systems

Written by Lino Di Betta | May 25 2023

In the industrial environment, welding operations can be carried out frequently and for long periods of time; the spread fumes, if not conveyed by an effective extraction system, can be harmful to the operators.

There are several reasons to invest in industrial fumes extraction systems. Let's discussed about them in today's article!

Industrial fumes extraction system: what it is for and why to choose it?

Factories operating in the mechanical sector, and in manufacturing in general, when welding need industrial extraction systems capable of removing toxic substances generated during the various production phases.

For this reason, many factories decide to install an industrial extraxtion system which can be fixed or movable.

A fixed system is installed in a defined area. This solution is ideal if welding takes place in a precise location or in a defined area.

A fixed system can be wall-mounted (with or without extension flags) or have sliding tracks. The extraction of welding fumes can take place thanks to different sizes of chimneys or fumes extraction benches. The point where the fumes are conveyed must be connected, individually or in series, to a fan.

The movable welding fume extraction systems are trolley mounted units that can be moved easily and relocated where necessary. They are very useful when there is no dedicated welding area inside the factory and the operators need to weld in different areas.

It is crucial to ensure that the most of the fumes are conveyed to the industrial fumes extraction systems to prevent them from being spread (e.g. positioning the articulated arms close to the source).

Let's see in detail what are the advantages of having effective fume extraction systems in your company!

1. Increased productivity and efficiency

One of the main goal of a business is to achieve the best result by making the best use of the available resources.

How?

  • efficiency and profitability
  • optimising the investments
  • high standard product/service quality

Investing in cutting-edge technology enables the achievement of these results, with a positive effect on the company's business.

Being more efficient also means maximising costs.

The latest generation of machines are designed to reduce consumption, which has a positive impact on the company's energy costs.

2. Risk Prevention

A welding fume extraction system must be correctly dimensioned and designed to extract most of the fumes that contain hazardous substances reducing their spread into the working environment.

Working in a healthy environment is essential for the operators.

As the fumes generated are an hazard to the health of the operators, they must be removed from the working area before they are breathed in by operators. A healthy and safe working environment results in higher productivity.

3. Increased motivation and productivity

Working in a clean and healthy environment, having access to modern and efficient system, is fundamental to increase motivation and satisfaction among technicians.

The latest generation technologies make work easier and faster, often automating monotonous and repetitive tasks.

Efficiency, quality and motivated staff result turn into satisfaction and increased business for the company.

The choice of industrial fumes extraction systems is therefore not a secondary factor as it can have a significant impact on a company's ROI and growth, creating an optimal working environment.

It is essential is to rely on a supplier who knows how to develop customised projects that meet the company's requirements, carefully evaluating their characteristics, both from an operational point of view and in terms of integration into the existing working environment.

WORKY designs industrial fumes extraction systems according to customers' needs, assisting them with:

  • field consultancy
  • attentive and dedicated commercial service
  • installation of the system
  • after-sales service

It is possible to request a three-dimensional design service. The project's 3D development is therefore definitive and entirely realistic from the very outset. The resulting image indicates exactly “what it will look like ”.
