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 valve to shut off or
regulate the airflow. The shut-off 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.
