Welding fumes extractor

Welding fumes and dust toxicity

During metal welding operations fumes, dust and gases are produced, which contains dozens of harmful chemicals. Those remain in the environment as micro-powders, metal particles or metal derivatives (as oxides) and filler metals (as electrodes, rod electrodes, lead, welding powder, etc.), or they are removed later by coatings as varnish, upholstery and detergent.
This is the reason why it is so important to use a mobile welding fumes extractor, designed to aspire and filter fumes and microdust from metal welding works before to be inhaled by operators.

Our efficient and low-budget solution

Welding fumes extractor MFU can be easily moved where it’s needed thanks to compact size, wheels and convenient handlings. Once there, it aspires fumes through its self-supporting suction arm ending in a hood with handling, to extract emissions straight from the source.

ADVANTAGES

• Quick: fumes suction straight from the source thanks to a high flow rate.
• Mobile: it can reach any welding working spots.
• Filtration: with absolute filter H13 ≥99.95%.
• In compliance with CE norms.

How the mobile purifier works MFU aspires pollutants from a flexible pipe or a suction arm. Then, pollutants are filtered to 99,95% of efficiency while crossing the purifier towards the bottom. Finally, any odour is absorbed by active carbons. Once air is clean, it is returned back into the environment via grids located on both sides of the machine. Environment safety Level of clogging is constantly monitored by a system with a led signal, which advise when it is necessary to clean or substitute filters. Easy to use Its light 3 mt. suction arm with hood, handling and flexible pipes can be moved effortless.
