When industrial applications emit dust and fume particles, at source extraction is the safest and most cost-effective solution to preventing the particles from escaping into the air. At source dust collection requires less airflow which saves money on extraction fans and the need for a larger dust collector.
The need for dust extraction in various industries is to ensure that the employees on the workshop floor do not inhale hazardous particles which can affect their health and cause related illnesses. Some particles are also combustible and should they enter the air in high concentrations, and come into contact with an ignition source, the possibility of causing an explosion increases. Having a dust collector on the workshop floor is important so as to mitigate the chances of particles causing illness through inhalation and also possible explosions. At-source extraction reduces the chances of dust and fume particles being inhaled and creates a healthier, cleaner and safer environment.
Envirox, supplier of Nederman dust extraction and filtration has a solution for all your needs. For at source extraction Envirox has a selection of Nederman extraction arms that can be used for various applications. For smaller airflow such as in laboratories the FX2 extraction arm is suitable, while the Nederman Original, NEX MD and HD arms are more suitable for higher airflows and can be used in welding applications and for other industrial purposes.
Nederman Original Arm:
- This arm is perfect for extracting welding smoke, fumes and dust in workshops.
- It can be manoeuvred 360° to ensure maximum fume and dust capturing capacity.
- This arm is suited for airflows of between 700 to 1000m³/hr with a maximum fume temperature of 70°C.
- It is available in 2m, 3m and 4m lengths and can be mounted on the ceiling, wall, bench, extension bracket, exhaust rails or fixed to mobile filter equipment.
Nederman NEX MD Arm:
- Specifically designed for working environments that emit heavy smoke, vapours and non-explosive dust.
- It is ideal for metal fabrication applications such as welding, laser or hand plasms cutting, metal spraying and grinding.
- The hose is 160mm in diameter and is available in 2m, 3m, 4m and 5m lengths.
- The arm can rotate 360° while the hood can be tilted in all directions.
Nederman NEX HD Arm:
- Built for high-temperatures of up to 120 °C and high-airflow applications up to 1900 m³/hr.
- Designed to work in environments with heavy smoke, vapours and non-explosive dust.
- This arm is perfect for use within a heavy workshop and metal fabrication operations such as welding, laser or hand plasma cutting, metal spraying and grinding.
- The arm is precisely balanced and can swivel 360° so that using the arm is easy and convenient.
- Arm lengths available are 2m, 3m, 4m and 5m.
