This welding fume extractor is designed to help collect and recycle shop air that is contaminated with many types of welding dust, oily smoke, and fumes.

This fume extractor can be permanently connected to a welding workstation downdraft table or wheeled to various welding locations.

A squirrel-cage type fan located inside of the fume extractor cabinet draws welding sparks, dust, smoke, and fumes through the shroud and ducting. The contaminated air passes through a slag drawer fitted with a 1mm stainless steel screen that arrests sparks and collects minor welding slag.

From the slag drawer, the air passes through

a10-micron, roller-type paper filter, which automatically advances during operation to provide new filtration area and a consistent suction.

With the air now vacant of oily smoke and 85% of the welding dust, it passes through a 1-micron pleated paper-type filter where the remainder of the dust is collected. This filter element automatically vibrates, which knocks caked-on dust into the removable dust drawer.

At this point, the air passes through a pleated HEPA filter which removes the rest of the 1-micron particles and 99.97% of the 0.3-micron particles. The recycled air now re-enters the shop, scrubbed clean of the welding fumes, smoke, dust, and slag.
