7 KEY ADVANTAGES OF USING PORTABLE FUME EXTRACTORS IN YOUR WORKPLACE
Portable fume extractors are an affordable and flexible source capture solution for removing welding fumes and smoke.
Source capture is excellent for immediate extraction and works with portables by using the fume arm (or snorkel) that attaches to a blower and filter to draw hazardous contaminants into a filter system and away from breathing zones.
Exposure to welding and other metalworking fumes is regulated because of the health and safety risks that are associated with it. Overexposure to metalworking fumes and smoke can result in a range of moderate to severe health risks.
Portable fume extractors conveniently move between workstations and around projects to provide constant fume extraction. Fume Xtractors portable units offer 2x the suction distance and feature a high-efficiency motor to increase CFM at the extraction point.
Portable fume extractors have gotten a bad name, but our team is trying to fix that. Because portables are one of the most affordable fume extraction solutions, many people purchase them without considering if they're compatible with application demands.
Fume Xtractors portables are designed to provide users with the ultimate flexibility and dependability. Each detail of our portable units has been hand-selected by industry experts to guarantee maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
BENEFITS OF PORTABLE FUME EXTRACTORS
