Welding fume extraction for sound, safe and efficient welding and cutting processes
Welding fumes causes health problems and affect production. The result is reduced capacity and reoccurring disturbances, eventually decreased profit. Furthermore, not only welders are at risk in unsafe environments. Production equipment, as well as end products, are negatively affected from the lack of adequate safety measures. Automated welding equipment such as robots - and its operators - can be subject to residual welding fumes and also need to be protected.
Good safety and health is good business!
Fixed or mobile welding fume extraction, one workplace or the whole factory. We have it all!
Nederman offers everything from single welding fume extractors to complete systems. We carry out feasibility studies and planning. Our design department is most willing to assist by producing suggestionsand specifications in our CAD system. Using our calculation system we can present complete customer specific layout alternatives and solutions including costing. Installation work and commissioning are also parts ofour services. Our After Sales service encompasses everything from emergency repairs to scheduled maintenance.
Nederman welding fume and dust extraction
- Safe, energy efficient and profitable
Control of exposure to welding fumes can usually be achieved with the help of extraction and ventilation. The choice of technique depends on the circumstances. The aim is to capture the fumes as close to the source as possible. This protects not only the welder but also other workers. Nederman systems are designed to extract welding smoke from a number of workstations but are also used for cleaning of workplaces and machines. The range also includes mobile units for welding fume extraction air as well as reel hoses for gas and compressed air and cable reels for electric power.
Welding fume extraction at source
– most effective
Wherever it is a viable solution, it has been proven thatextraction at source is the most efficient method of capturing and removing welding and similar fumes. Using this method, the risk of the welder or operator being subject to hazardous fumes is minimized. Welding torches with integrated extraction allow the welder to work over big areas as well as inside constructions; the extraction is always at hand. It is as well a cost effective solution, as it reduces the amount of heated/conditioned air extracted from the premises. |

Even welding robots must be protected
Welding operations using automated welding equipment require careful monitoring. Operators and service personnel overseeing robotic welding equipment can be subject to residual fumes and need to be protected in a similar way to manual workers. Nederman solutions for automatic welding processes include both on torch-extraction and extraction systems with hoods.
From energy wasting to energy saving
Letting the extraction system run when not in use is bad economy.If the premises are heated or cooled, a lot of energy is also wasted by unnecessary extraction. Nederman offers several solutions to save energy and improve working conditions: With a Nederman fan inverter the fan operation is constantly adjusted to the number of extractions points in use to ensure the required airflow. The noise, which otherwise occurs in an underloaded system, is reduced. The easy-to-program fan timer starts and stops the fan depending on working hours, holidays etc. Combined with Nederman motor dampers which open and shut the connections to each extraction point, the efficiency and operation cost is further improved. Nederman fan control unit (often used in smaller systems) activates the central fan to run only during welding operations. The fan is activated manually or automatically at welding.
