A Quick Guide to Dust and Fume Extraction

Welding fume extraction

Nederman offers many solutions for removing harmful dust, smoke and and fumes from welding or cutting applications. The solution that's right for you depends on what welding method is used and how often. Where possible, extraction at source is the most effective method to collect and remove welding fumes and smoke to keep people, production and the environment safe.

To achieve effective and safe fume extraction at source is to correctly position the fume extractor with a well-designed (with appropriate airflow) and positioned hood, so that the hazardous fumes are sucked away from a welder's breathing zone and to also prevent fumes from spreading throughout the workplace.

Solutions for extracting fumes and dust from weld or cutting applications:

  1. Mobile extraction / filter units
    A cost-effective and flexible solution when fixed installation is not possible or desirable

  2. Extraction arms
    Ergonomic and economical solution for several fixed welding workstations

  3. On-Tool / On-Torch
    Extraction of welding fumes is integrated in the welding gun. Always available when you are welding.

  4. Extraction table
    Used when you need an independent welding station without arm. Suitable for continuous welding of smaller items.

  5. Solutions for welding robots
    Extraction nozzles are mounted directly on the welding machine or alternatively hoods are installed to protect both sensitive electronics and operators.  For medium and small workshops, solutions 1-3 are the most common.
