Increased productivity is largely related to the work environment: a harmonious organization that takes into account the health and safety of employees creates favourable conditions for a climate of well-being and, therefore, for more efficient work over time.
How does a fume extractor fit into this context?
We discuss this in the article!
Fume extractor & efficiency: the link
Welding fumes are produced because of the high temperature, which melts materials and then create steam. When this cools, solid microparticles are produced, which can be very hazardous to the health of operators.
A welding fume extractor makes sure that these particles are removed from the working area before they can be dispersed, ensuring that the area is as healthy as possible.
A healthy and clean work environment promotes productivity; however, this is not the only reason why a fume extractor improves efficiency.
In addition to the healthiness of the company, 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 access to cutting edge, easy-to-operate technology
All these factors are essential for productivity. Working in a company that provides modern tools that simplify work and make it faster will be a great advantage for workers. In addition to giving the possibility of completing more tasks in less time, the most innovative technologies reduce the risk of error, ensuring a high quality of work.
This translates into customer satisfaction and, consequently, 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.
The solutions for extracting welding fumes
Fixed smoke aspirator
A fixed system-that is, permanently installed in a defined area has to be considered when operators do not need to move to different areas of the company, but welding operations takes place in a defined area.
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 fumes.
The welding bench consists of a table top and side walls that extract toxic fumes and collect them in a special drawer, which can then be removed and emptied quickly and easily. The remaining fumes is then extracted out by a special filter-extraction system.
The advantage of these welding benches is the fact that they can also serve as regular workbenches, thus optimizing even the tightest of spaces.
Mobile extractors
Mobile extractors are wheeled units that can be moved and maneuvered easily, with the possibility to dislocate them where needed. When there is not a dedicated welding area, mobile systems are the ideal solution.
Both fixed and mobile solutions are designed to eliminate fumes at the source of production, preventing it from dispersing into the environment and reaching the operator. Technologically advanced systems facilitate the work of technicians and operators, allowing them to perform 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 work 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 accurately, quickly and safely, thanks to practical, functional and intuitive facilities.
