3.1 Intended use
The ProfiMaster is designed to extract and filter welding fumes, generated during
electric welding, at the source. Basically, the unit can be used in all work processes
in which particulate pollutants, i.e. smoke and dust, are released. However, it is
important to ensure that no "sparks" are drawn into the filter unit from e.g. a grinding
process.
The hazardous substances generated during the work process are captured by the
extraction hood. They are sucked with the air flow into the filter unit. Here they are
passed through a prefilter for coarse particles and a main filter, in which the fine
respirable particles of smoke are separated out with a separation efficiency of more
than 99%. The purified air is sucked in by the fan and returned into the working area.
For the extraction of welding fumes containing carcinogenic particles created
during welding of alloy steels (e.g., stainless steel), according to official
regulations, only units which have been tested and approved may be operated
in the so-called air circulation process. This filter unit is approved for the
extraction of welding fumes generated during welding of steels with an alloy
content of < 5% to >30% and meets the requirements of the welding smoke
separation class W3, according to DIN EN ISO 15012-1.
When extracting of welding fumes containing carcinogenic ingredients (e.g.,
chromates, nickel oxides, etc.) the requirements of TRGS 560 (Technical Rules
for Hazardous Substances) must be complied with.
In the technical data are dimensions and further details on the ProfiMaster, which
must be observed.
