Main components and elements
2.1.1 KUA-160 ATEX
KUA-160 ATEX arms are suitable for use in potentially
explosive environments. They comply with ATEX directives due
to:
- antistatic hoses instead of standard hoses
- litz wires that interconnect the metal parts of the arm

Operation
The welding fume is extracted through the hood of the arm by
a single or central fan. The extraction arm discharges the
polluted air to an extraction duct with filter unit or directly to
the atmosphere.
The hood of the arm is fitted with a control valve to shut off or
regulate the airflow. The valve is mostly used when several
extraction arms are integrated in a line installation; in such
configurations closing the valve prevents the loss of costly
heated air.
