Effective Fume Extraction During Pipe Production
22.07.2019
At Interserve Industrial Services PLC, UK, critical levels of airborne toxicity were recorded during electric arc welding operations—a serious health and safety concern for operators on site.
The Solution
To address this issue, Nederman UK, in collaboration with General Welding Supplies, proposed an advanced fume extraction system. The recommended setup included the FilterMax FO90 filtration unit paired with an NCF 120/25 fan, linked to 8 x 7.5-meter extraction arms, each equipped with high-efficiency hoods.
Key Benefits
This solution provided immediate and measurable improvements:
- Elimination of Harmful Fumes: Welding fumes were effectively captured at the source, eliminating exposure risks.
- Safer, Cleaner Work Environment: Air quality improved significantly, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable workspace.
- Boost in Productivity: With better conditions, workflow efficiency increased.
- Reduced PPE Maintenance: The need to frequently replace personal protective equipment (PPE) filters was significantly diminished.
