Welding fume extraction torch

A welding torch with an integrated extraction channel that captures fume right at the gas nozzle and prevents it from entering the surrounding air.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

The fume extraction welding torch has an integrated extraction channel directly at the gas nozzle. This channel captures the fume before it spreads into the environment. The high temperature of the fume vapor and other pollutants ensures rapid oxidation and contamination.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

Reducing the spread of pollutants improves the working environment and reduces the risk of health problems such as pneumonia or carbon monoxide poisoning. It also reduces workshop contamination, leading to better visual and working conditions.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use the welding torch in areas with low air circulation or in enclosed spaces. Make sure the extraction channel is clean and free of blockages. The gas flow rate should be set so that the fume is optimally absorbed. If necessary, an external extraction system can be used to ensure additional safety.
