Welding fume extractors are essential for providing clean air in welding environments, where harmful fumes and gases can pose serious health risks. These extractors use filtration systems to capture and remove hazardous particles, gases, and vapors produced during welding. They are equipped with powerful fans and multiple filtration stages to ensure that the air remains free of contaminants. These extractors help to create a safer, healthier workplace and comply with international standards like ISO 15012 and SASO 2350 for welding fume control. Welding fume extractors come in various sizes and configurations, including portable models for smaller workspaces and larger systems for industrial settings.
