Welding fume extraction in the carpentry department

Welding releases a number of pollutants and toxic to health. It is essential to install extraction systems to prevent operators from inhaling welding fumes.

Extracting fumes is essential and almost always mandatory

Welding fumes, if inhaled, can cause both acute pathologies (respiratory difficulties, fever) and chronic respiratory diseases. It is therefore always necessary to preserve the health of the operators with appropriate protection systems: individual devices, but also welding fume extraction systems.

In some countries, among other things, these systems are also mandatory by law. Since each country has its own legislation in this regard, each company will have to refer to its national legislation and comply with its duties to limit the damage caused by welding fumes.

WORKY welding fume extraction systems

WORKY designs, manufacturers and installs localized welding fume extraction systems. With an attentive, interactive and all-encompassing consultancy service, we seek the right configuration for the needs of the environment and the workers who experience it day by day.

Let’s see a couple of WORKY solutions:

• fixed extraction systems that require permanent installation. They consist of: one or more arms placed at the correct distance from the work station; a fan that supplies the extraction power; filter and connection and ejection pipes.

One example:

SPARK is WORKY wall-mounted welding fume extraction kit with arm, fan and a set of 4 filters, the last of which with activated carbon.

• wheeled extraction units, meaning mobile all-in-one structures for welding fume extraction and filtration, deodorisation and reintroduction into the environment.

One example:

SMOBIPLUS is WORKY mobile fume extracting unit with a 3 m arm, a set of 4 filters, the last of which with activated carbon, and 1.5 hp fan.

Our customers

Not only carpentries, but those work environments that need welding fume extraction solutions. These include, for example:

• laboratories that perform precision work and bench welding
• vocational schools and technical centers, which train students with demonstration experiments or simulations of real processes.
