Welding Fume Extraction Systems
(46 Article)Precise extraction of welding fumes is necessary to capture and filter dusts and gases. DENIOS offers flexible systems, extraction arms and special products for hazardous areas.
Welding fume extraction and extraction systems from DENIOS
Welding fume extraction from DENIOS plays a key role in protecting employee health and ensuring a safe working environment. Welding not only produces obvious hazards such as flying sparks and UV radiation, but also harmful fumes containing heavy metals, gases and ultra-fine particles. These substances can cause serious damage to health if inhaled, which is why efficient extraction is essential. The extraction systems from DENIOS ensure safe filtration of welding fumes and offer both mobile and stationary solutions to flexibly adapt to different operating requirements. DENIOS also offers special systems for potentially explosive areas (Ex zones) to maximise protection even in safety-critical environments. Overall, the extraction systems make an important contribution to protecting employees from the invisible dangers of welding and ensuring a healthy, productive working environment.
Health risks from welding fumes
Welding fumes can lead to a number of health problems, including
Respiratory diseases: Chronic bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory conditions can be triggered or aggravated by inhaling welding fumes.
Cancer risk: Certain components of welding fumes are considered potentially carcinogenic.
Short and long-term symptoms: Headaches, nausea and dizziness can be immediate effects of inhaling welding fumes, while long-term exposure can have more serious health consequences.
To prevent damage to health, a welding fume extraction system should be installed to safely filter welding fumes from the air. These systems capture the fume directly at the source, preventing it from spreading throughout the work area.
Mobile and stationary welding extraction systems
Welding extraction systems are available in mobile and stationary versions to meet different requirements and working conditions.
Stationary extraction systems
Stationary extraction systems, such as wall arms, can be attached to the wall to save space. They are ideal for workplaces where frequent changes of position are required within a limited working area. These systems offer high efficiency and are often permanently installed, making them particularly suitable for production lines and fixed workstations.
Mobile extraction systems
Mobile extraction units are used when the welding location is frequently changed. These systems are flexible and easy to move, making them ideal for construction sites or changing workplaces. They offer the same efficiency and safety as stationary systems, with the added benefit of mobility.
Efficient extraction and safety in Ex zones
Welding extraction systems capture welding fumes directly at the point of origin using flexibly positionable extraction arms. These can be precisely aligned to ensure pinpoint extraction and prevent the spread of hazardous vapours. Thanks to their joints, the arms offer a high degree of flexibility and facilitate handling. For hazardous areas (Ex zones), DENIOS offers specialised extraction systems that meet the strict safety requirements of such environments. These systems minimise risks in sensitive areas where even the smallest sparks or high temperatures can lead to explosions, thus making a decisive contribution to occupational safety.
Effective welding fume extraction offers numerous benefits, including
Health protection: reduces the risk of respiratory illnesses and other health hazards by capturing and filtering hazardous particles and gases.
Workplace safety: Minimises the risk of explosions from flammable vapours and ensures a safe working environment.
Efficiency: Ensures a clean working environment, increasing productivity and improving the quality of work.
Flexibility: Mobile systems enable use at different workstations, while stationary systems provide a permanent solution for fixed workstations.
Compliance: Meets legal requirements and standards to protect workers and the environment.
