Are you confident that your extraction arm is positioned correctly?
At-source extraction is often the most effective solution for capturing welding fumes directly where they are generated. By working close to the source, the spread of contaminants throughout the workspace is reduced, lowering exposure for both operators and the surrounding environment.

⚠️ However, choosing the right extraction arm is only part of the solution. How the extraction arm is positioned and used in daily operations has a significant impact on its overall effectiveness.

How do you approach this at your workplace?
Do all operators know how to position the extraction arm correctly? And do they adjust it as the workpiece, welding position or welding task changes? Share your experience below 👇

Trenger du en effektiv måte å fange opp sveiserøyk direkte ved kilden på?

Punktavsug ved kilden er den mest effektive løsningen for å fange opp sveiserøyk der den oppstår, og er en av de mest brukte metodene for å kontrollere sveiserøyk.

Ved å bruke avsugsarmer plassert nær der røyken genereres, reduseres spredningen av forurensninger i arbeidsmiljøet. Dette bidrar til å redusere eksponeringen for både sveisere og annet personell i området.

Effektiv beskyttelse handler imidlertid ikke bare om å velge riktig utstyr. Korrekt plassering og konsekvent bruk av avsugssystemet er minst like viktig.

I denne artikkelen forklarer vi når punktavsug ved kilden er det beste valget for din sveiseprosess, og hva som kreves for å sikre maksimal effektivitet i den daglige driften 👉

Røgudsugning i svejseapplikationer At sikre korrekt røgudsugning i svejseapplikationer er afgørende for at forebygge alvorlige sundhedsrisici blandt svejsere, øge produktiviteten og overholde gældende sikkerhedsstandarder.

Do you need an effective way to capture welding fumes directly at the source?
At-source welding fume extraction is the most effective solution for capturing fumes directly where they are generated and is a widely used method for controlling welding fumes.

Using extraction arms positioned close to where fumes are generated helps reduce the spread of contaminants throughout the workspace, lowering exposure for both welders and surrounding personnel.

However, achieving effective protection is not only about choosing the right equipment. Correct positioning and consistent use of the extraction system play an equally important role.

How to ensure effective at-source welding fume extraction using extraction arms for local exhaust ventilation In many welding applications, at-source extraction is the most effective solution for capturing fumes directly where they are generated. This article explains how extraction arms can be used within local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems to achieve efficient at-source welding fume extraction, and wh...

Do you weld with a torch and need a flexible integrated extraction system to capture welding fumes?

On-torch welding fume extraction integrates the extraction system directly into the welding torch, capturing welding fumes at the source while allowing you to move freely around the workpiece. This makes it a practical solution for applications involving large workpieces, continuous movement and hard-to-reach welding positions.

In this article, we break down when on-torch welding fume extraction is the best choice for your welding process, and when it should be combined with other extraction solutions for effective protection 👉 https://www.nederman.com/en/knowledge-center/on-torch-extraction

When is an integrated extraction system in a welding torch the best choice for weld fume extraction? Every welding process requires the right approach to fume extraction to ensure both efficiency and safety. This article explains when an integrated extraction system in a welding torch, also known as on-torch extraction, is the most effective solution for capturing fumes directly at the source.

Determining the right welding fume extraction system depends on your welding process, production environment and exposure risks.

In a recent article we explain which extraction methods are best suited to different welding applications, when different approaches should be combined, and how to ensure effective protection for operators.

Ensuring proper fume extraction in welding applications is crucial for preventing serious health risks, enhancing productivity and maintaining compliance with safety standards.

However, because every welding process, material and workspace is different, choosing the right welding fume capture method is key to achieving effective protection and performance.

We provide a range of welding fume capture methods tailored to your application, facility layout and production requirements, including:
🔹 On-torch welding fume extraction
🔹 At-source welding fume extraction
🔹 Local containment for enclosed fume extraction
🔹 Ambient air filtration

Welding fumes are more than a workplace hazard ⚡
Short-term exposure to welding fumes can lead to sore throats, eye irritation and metal fume fever. Long-term exposure however, may result in chronic respiratory diseases or even cancer.

Recognising these risks, international health and safety agencies have introduced strict exposure limits for airborne contaminants, reinforcing the need for effective mitigation strategies.

Clean air is not just about compliance. It is about protecting people, supporting healthier workplaces and creating safer conditions for every worker.
