this welding fume extractor is designed to help
collect and recycle shop air that is contaminated
with many types of welding dust, oily smoke, and
fumes.
this fume extractor can be permanently connected
to a welding workstation downdraft table or
wheeled to various welding locations.
a squirrel-cage type fan located inside of the
fume extractor cabinet draws welding sparks,
dust, smoke, and fumes through the shroud and
ducting. the contaminated air passes through
a slag drawer fitted with a 1mm stainless steel
screen that arrests sparks and collects minor
welding slag.
From the slag drawer, the air passes through
a 10-micron, roller-type paper filter, which
automatically advances during operation to provide
new filtration area and a consistent suction.
With the air now vacant of oily smoke and 85%
of the welding dust, it passes through a 1-micron
pleated paper-type filter where the remainder of the
dust is collected. this filter element automatically
vibrates, which knocks caked-on dust into the
removable dust drawer.
at this point, the air passes through a pleated
hEpa filter which removes the rest of the 1-micron
particles and 99.97% of the 0.3-micron particles.
the recycled air now re-enters the shop, scrubbed
clean of the welding fumes, smoke, dust, and
slag.
