Operation
The extracted welding fume enters the extraction arm via the
rotatable hood. The arm discharges the polluted air to a filter
unit or directly to the atmosphere. The hood of the arm is fitted
with a throttle valve, which can be controlled using the rotary
knob(s). The throttle valve is mostly used when several
extraction arms are integrated in a line installation; in such
configurations closing the throttle valve prevents the loss of
costly heated air.
