How a fume extractor makes your company more efficient

Increasing profitability while reducing costs is one of the main goals of every company. State-of-the-art machinery and technology are of great help to improve productivity, completing as many tasks as possible in a short time, meeting high quality standards.

All that generates a high level of customers’ satisfaction and therefore customer loyalty.

In manufacturing companies, but also in laboratories and training centres, the installation of a modern, state-of-the-art fume extractor can make all the difference.

The fume extraction has to:

  • To be well integrated and respecting available space
  • To be effective depending on the type of workshop needs
  • Respond to real fume extraction needs

Extraction is fundamental where the fumes are produced to prevent them from being spread into the environment, avoiding:

  • Any possible risk for the operators health if inhaled
  • Any settling of dust during the welding phase, making the work environment unhealthy
  • Any possible decrease in the quality level

Above mentioned situation not only represent a a real risk to workers' health, but also can slow down the daily work compromising the needed quality standards

Welding fumes extraction that meet the real needs of the company and the operators will not only make the environment healthier, but also allow the technicians to carry on the daily activities work quicker and more efficiently.

Effective fume extraction therefore help to increase the profitability of the activities carried on inside the company, where an appropriate, clean and functional environment creates the best conditions to get the job done on time.

Furthermore, working in an organized, state-of-the-art environment has a positive impact on the employees motivation. This is an aspect that is often underestimated, even though employee satisfaction is crucial for the company's productivity.

How does efficiency affect cost reduction?

To carry on the daily activities matching the high quality standards, on time, not to revise the completed projects, is a plus in terms of time saving and resources.

The latest generation plants are designed to reduce consumption and energy costs, having a positive impact on the environment

Providing a company with a modern welding fume extraction system, designed for specific needs, ensures efficiency and costs energy savings, in line with the current regulations, leads to multiple benefits. Moreover, having a system that can be certified in a 4.0 perspective can also bring tax benefits.

How to choose the most suitable fume extractor?

There are two types of welding fume extractor:

  • fixed systems such as extraction benches, installed in a well-defined area of the workshop dedicated to welding. These benches - connected in series to an extractor fan inside the centralized systems or with its own extractor fan at the side - are used to draw welding fumes from the work area and then to spread them outside. They are recommended for a clearly defined welding area, where the operator carries on that welding activity only
  • mobile units, i.e. wheeled extraction filter units, are very convenient to move from a working area to another one

Relying on an experienced supplier who knows how to advise and design the best fume extractor, customizing it to your actual needs, is certainly the best choice.

  • extraction must take place close to the emission source so that fumes and toxic substances are not spread into the environment
  • the system must be integrated into the working environment and must be easy to use, so that space and time can be optimized
