Welding fumes extractors are essential in manufacturing industries, laboratories and wherever metal processing through welding are carried out. The importance of these systems lies not only in protecting the health of workers, who are exposed to harmful substances on a daily basis, but also in increasing productivity and operational efficiency.
Read today's article, to discover which are the essential elements to consider when choosing.
Why is a welding fume extractor system is so important?
Effective extraction of welding fumes is crucial to prevent exposure to toxic particles and gases released during metal smelting processes, such as chromium, nickel and manganese. These substances can cause severe respiratory damage and other long-term health problems.
The use of an effective Welding fume extractor not only protects the health of workers, but also helps maintain a clean and safe working environment by reducing the presence of harmful pollutants in the air. This is crucial not only for the direct safety of operators, but also to comply with current regulations on air quality in the workplace.
What to consider when choosing a suitable extractor system?
When choosing a welding fume extractor, experts consider several factors. The priority is the effectiveness of the system itself, which is measured by the fume extractor's ability to keep the air clean, reducing exposure to hazardous substances.
An efficient and effective fume extractor is therefore designed to maximize the capture of harmful particles and gases with minimal energy consumption.
Finally, when it comes to choosing a welding fume extractor, professionals look for solutions that integrate harmoniously with the working environment without interfering with daily activities. This preference is reflected in the selection of devices that respond specifically to the needs of the industrial environment, thus ensuring perfect adaptability to different operating situations.
Types of Welding fumes extractors
There are two types of welding fumes extractors: fixed and mobile systems.
Welding fumes extractors that have no wheels are classified as fixed systems. These systems extract fumes from the working area, then expel them outside or release them back into the work environment with no contaminants and toxins. Fixed systems may include wall-mounted articulated arms, hoods or filters and require galvanized piping to convey fumes to the extractor system.

Mobile fume extraction systems, also known as wheeled filters, can be easily moved around the work environment to capture fumes directly at their source. They are equipped with an aspirator, filters and three-metre long articulated arms, allowing them to be positioned close to the work area.
The WORKY range of wheeled systems includes two main solutions: SMOBIPLUS, a compact model, ideal for light and sporadic welding fumes extraction applications, complete with aspirator, filters and a 3-metre articulated arm. The second solution, SMOBIMAX, is suitable for more intensive and medium-duration applications, equipped with a more powerful motor, articulated arm and high-efficiency filters to retain fumes and fine dust. This range is enhanced by accessories that improve the quality of work without requiring large investments or complex installations.
An effective welding fume extractor helps to increase a company's productivity and revenue by making the environment suitable for work to be carried out and creating the best environment for perfect work to be completed on time.
However, it is crucial to work together with an expert partner in order to achieve tailor-made solutions that perfectly meet the company's specific needs.
