SO.TEC cares about workers' health: here are the professional air suction systems for welding

Welding is an industrial process that often generates metal dust, fumes, and vapors that are potentially harmful when inhaled or come into contact with the skin. When the process is carried out indoors and without ventilation, the particle clouds do not disperse and remain concentrated. It is, therefore, necessary to pay close attention to the environment in which the welding is performed, and to the protections adopted by the operators.

This is why SO.TEC has developed several high-performance air purification systems and units with different characteristics to fit a variety of needs.

Bench-top suction systems: these filters, integrated with the workbench, are equipped with side protection barriers and can be configured with fume and dust filtration from the base of the bench or through an overlying hood.

Portable suction systems: equipped with one or more suction arms, these are wheeled units that can be easily transported close to the welding station. They are particularly suitable for occasional applications with lower suction flow rates, and can re-circulate air after cleaning it of harmful particles.

Centralized suction systems with flexible arms: this compact modular suction system possesses hanging or flexible arms connected to hoses and exhausters with cartridge filters, which purify harmful fumes and expel air outside the work environment.

Professional welding air suction systems developed by SO.TEC have numerous advantages:

- the plants are certified to comply with European regulations (e.g. EN ISO 15012-4) on the ventilation of welding fumes;
- safety in the working environment;
- compact with no obstructions for workers and recovery of purified air, in the case of wheeled filters;
- durability over time and excellent filtration performances.
