Original Press Release:
Mobile Removal of Toxic Welding Fumes
Air movement specialist Fanquip has added to its industrial occupational health and safety technology - its own brand welding fume extractor.
Manufactured on castors so as to be suitable for use all around the worksite, Fanquip's mobile fume extractor filters and clears air to 0.3 micron. It can also be used in the food sector as a general air cleaner for dust.
Because they are not so easily seen with the naked eye, welding fumes often escape the required level of attention from plant managers, site workers and occupational health and safety practitioners at all levels.
Being highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic, these fumes represent a silent killer that needs to be quickly and officially removed from all workplaces.
Fanquip's mobile fume extractor can be supplied with 2m, 3m or 4m arms which are 150mm or 200mm diameter.
Fanquip has seen a growth in industrial businesses which are doing the right thing and taking steps to source the correct technology to safely complete this task.
Welding is that it is a widely applicable profession across the industrial sector, so the dangers can be found anywhere this activity takes place.
A lot of industrial businesses will have at least one or two welding bays on their premises to facilitate manufacturing processes, yet some managers are not fully versed in the importance are removing these fumes to safeguard their employees; although the education level of this potential danger is improving.
Such is the recognition of the potential dangers of welding fumes, even within highly automated production plants where robotic welding is carried out, extraction systems are being fitted out at the design stage.
Perhaps those most at risk are personnel who perform mobile welding work on location and rarely consider that a mobile extraction system with competent ducting on its fume arm really should be implemented.
