When to choose between a portable welding fume extractor or a fixed one?
In this article we take an in-depth look at the differences between the two types of solutions, suggesting some tips on how to evaluate the best available options.
The need to provide the working area with a extraction system meet following requirements:
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a solution that suits the needs of the company, based on:
Whether it is a fixed or portable welding fume extractor, it is essential that fume extraction takes place at the source in proximity of the parts that have to be welded.
Only in this way, fumes will not be spread inside the working area, preserving the technicians health and safety.
Inside garages, body shops, auto and motorcycle repair centers, the fume extractor becomes necessary during the activity of welding metal vehicle components. The goal is twofold: to eliminate any health hazards for the technicians who operates in proximity to the welding machine, and to create a cleaner, tidier and more organized work environment, with benefits for the overall productivity of the center.
Extracting the welding fume directly from the source, the fumes will not be spreaded into the environment.
Portable welding fume extractors can be moved and positioned easily within the working area.
They are equipped with a fan, a filter battery and an articulated arm to move closer to the working area.
These compact and handy systems are therefore perfect if the company does not have an area specifically designated for welding, since they can be integrated into different environments, always ensuring the highest standards of efficiency.
WORKY offers several types of portable welding fume extractor, including:
Fixed welding fume extractor systems require the installation.
The main components are:
Welding benches are also considered fixed systems, widely used in companies it can also be used as a normal workbench, thus optimising space. As different models and sizes are available, it can be easily adapted to the needs of the company and the technicians working there.
Tin soldering, which is frequent in the processing of electronic components (in laboratories and assembly lines) and in the electrotechnical sector for electrical joints, contacts and small solderable connections need aspirator for tin solder fumes.
Welding fume extraction systems are used both in industrial settings, where welding operations are frequent and the amount of fume to be extracted is high, and in workshops, body shop, auto and motorcycle repair centers, where welding is usually used for small metal components.
The goal is to make the work area a healthy environment , but also to increase productivity through state-of-the-art machinery that makes work easier and faster.
It is crucial to choose a custom-made solution to meet the company requirements.
