Let's take a look at WORKY's trolleys for extracting exhaust fumes.***   In industrial processing areas, the welding of metals is a process performed on a regular basis resulting in **releasing a mixture of fumes and fine dust in the air**, which is severely harmful to the health of workers. The best way to limit the negative effects of this dispersion is to **provide for localised extraction of welding fumes** by using **trolley or stationary** solutions that extract fumes from the work area.   ## Trolley and stationary welding fume extractors A welding fume extractor unit can be **portable, mobile or stationary**. - **Trolleys for extracting exhaust fumes** can be easily **moved from one workstation to another**, depending on your welding fume extraction needs. The trolleys for extracting exhaust fumes are equipped with filters for the best possible purification of harmful fumes. - **Stationary extraction systems**, unlike a trolley for extracting exhaust fumes, require a **permanent installation** at the workstation. The articulated arm conveys air to the extraction unit. Depending on requirements, the air is either re-emitted into the room after passing through a set of filters or expelled to the outside.     ## WORKY fume extractors: the 2 best sellers We offer industrial processing areas, body shops and, sometimes, workshops, a variety of welding fume extraction solutions. Choosing between a trolley for extracting exhaust fumes or a stationary unit is based, among other things, on: - **The number of workstations;** - **The frequency of use;** - **The type of welding;** - **The size of the working area where welding takes place.** If welding is carried out **sporadically** and at different locations within the same working environment, a **trolley for extracting exhaust fumes** may be the most cost-effective and flexible solution. On the other hand, if the welding is carried out **regularly**, intensively and in well-defined areas, a **stationary fume extraction system** may be preferable to a trolley for extracting exhaust fumes. WORKY's range of products for welding fume extraction can provide a solution to the need for functionality and flexibility: the **SPARK kit** (wall-mounted extraction unit with articulated arm and filter) and the **SMOBIPLUS** trolley unit. ### Stationary welding fume extractor The [**SPARK kit**](https://www.worky-italy.com/it/aspirazione-fumi-di-saldatura/kit/kit-per-aspirazione-e-filtrazione-fumi-di-saldatura-spark-10) consists of **a wall-mounted extraction unit**, an **articulated arm to reach** the area where welding is carried out and a set of filters (**spark quenching filter, metallic pre-filter, high-efficiency filter, and the active carbon filter).** ![](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hubfs/KIRO/Imported_Blog_Media/impianti-di-aspirazione-polveri-la-praticitai-dei-bracci-aspiranti-1_i4870-kZOt2VW-l1-n1-Feb-15-2022-09-08-41-46-AM-2.jpg) ### Trolley for extracting exhaust fumes [**SMOBIPLUS**](https://www.worky-italy.com/us/welding-fumes-extraction/portable-welding-fume-extraction-systems) is a **mobile extractor unit with articulated arm and a set of 4 filters.** **(spark quenching filter, metallic pre-filter, high-efficiency filter, and the active carbon filter).** To meet different requirements and/or specific electrical standards, there are various models with different motor types (single or three-phase, 50 or 60Hz). ![](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hubfs/KIRO/Imported_Blog_Media/smobiplus-2019-low-res_i11167-kQ2D66t-w-l1-n1-Feb-15-2022-09-08-40-11-AM-2.jpg) **Do you need more information to help you choose an extractor for welding fumes, trolley or stationary, which is right for your needs?
