An arm system is a special installation utilised in the workplace to extract fumes from a line of welding booths, together with welding extraction systems. Before the contaminant can enter the worker’s breathing zone, an extraction arm can catch aerosols or any other airborne pollutants at the emission site. The suction hood can be placed with complete ease and flexibility directly at the source of the fume generation, capturing fumes close to the source to prevent them from spreading throughout the workplace and negatively harming everyone who works there. Installing several arm systems at your workspace allows you to autonomously position each arm so that it is close to each welding fume source.
Which industries may require such extraction arms?
Extraction arms are available in a range of lengths and radiuses, to suit individual applications. The versatility of such systems and their configurations make them ideal for where work is done in predefined spaces, as well as for larger installations, where workpieces may vary greatly in size. The common industries and applications for such extraction arms include aluminium welding, steel welding, copper alloy welding, magnesium welding, nickel welding, buffing, polishing, core grinding, drilling, soldering, screen printing, pesticide manufacturing, plastic manufacturing, resin manufacturing, rubber manufacturing, soap manufacturing, animal food manufacturing, food packaging plants, jewellery manufacturing, chemical laboratories, forensic laboratories, electronics assembly lines, heavy equipment repairing shops, vehicle service shops, and many others.
Where can you get the best extractor arm?
One of the finest extractor arm you can choose to install is that which is manufactured by Powertech Pollution Controls, which is a highly useful accessory that is used with the most popularly used welding fume extractor India, trademarked as the “Fumekiller”. The extractor arm consists of two ducts made of aluminium or stainless steel, connected by flexible PVC hoses, and mounted on interconnected support rods with friction-loaded pivots. One end holds a suction hood, while the other being attached to a rotating hollow cylinder. The suction hood, the ducts, the host, and the rotating cylinder form a passage for the fumes that are to be removed. The suction hood can be moved manually 2 to 4 metres to the left or right, up or down, depending on the requirement. This system’s operating and maintenance costs are comparatively very low because every component is designed for dependable, secure, and effective use. By removing harmful airborne contaminants, these systems help create a safer and healthier working environment at a very low cost.
Criteria to consider before installation
It is crucial that you take into account a few fundamental factors before buying an extraction arm. The configuration of the extraction system you’ll require depends on a number of factors, including the processes you use, their intensity, how quickly contaminants build up, what kinds of contaminants they produce, how quickly airflow must move through the system to capture them, and the physical restrictions or protocols of your facility, such as its size, capacity, number of employees, internal pressure and temperature, etc. Before choosing a certain type of extraction system for your workplace, it is better to speak with an expert and go over all of these factors.
