Welding Fume Extraction Arm with Integrated Fan

A joint arm with integrated fan for quick and effective extraction of welding fume right at the source. Reduces pressure loss in the duct system.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism

The articulated arm provides flexible positioning and allows direct fume extraction at the source. The built-in fan ensures high air flow, which minimizes pressure drop in the duct system.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

Effective fume extraction is key to preventing porosity and material burn-off. Too low a pressure drop can cause incomplete extraction, leading to risks like porosity and burns.

Shop Practice & Action Points

Use the articulated arm near the weld. Make sure the air flow is unobstructed. Check the fan regularly and watch for a pressure drop of no more than 50 mmH2O.
