What If You Could Eliminate up to 99% of Weld Fume Exposure?

Why Effective Weld Fume Control Matters

Health and Safety

Protect your workforce from risks associated with weld fume exposure.

Regulations, Compliance and Cost

Stay ahead of evolving regulations, avoid compliance risks, OSHA fines and costly downtime and reduce insurance premiums.

Productivity and Quality

Maintain high-quality welds and productivity without the hidden costs of ineffective workarounds.

Workforce Retention

Create a cleaner work environment that attracts and retains skilled workers.

Why Use OSHA Hierarchy of Controls?

The OSHA Hierarchy of Controls provides an effective framework for reducing weld fume exposure and addressing workplace hazards.

Fume Extraction FAQs
What are the different types of welding fume extraction systems?

  • High-vacuum systems excel in situations where a lower volume of air and particulates need to be extracted at a higher pressure, making them ideal for use with fume guns and other source-capture accessories that target fumes close to their source.
  • High-volume systems move large volumes of air at lower pressure and can be centralized, mobile, or stationary, often featuring extraction arms for more flexible operation.
  • Ambient systems are a specific type of high-volume solution that circulate air through filters to purify the environment without requiring extraction arms or ducting.  

How do I choose the right welding fume extraction system?

Consider how close to the weld the fume can be captured, the airflow required and how the equipment will fit into the workspace. The welding process, fume intensity, capture location and mobility requirements can help determine the most effective solution.

What is the difference between low-vacuum/high-volume and high-vacuum/low-volume extraction?

Low-vacuum/high-volume systems process more air and provide a larger capture zone. High-vacuum/low-volume systems capture fume much closer to the weld using a smaller attachment, such as a fume extraction gun or nozzle.
