Nederman has introduced the Fume Eliminator GoMax, a next‑generation, on‑torch welding fume extractor designed for manual and robotic cells. Announced internationally in late May 2025, GoMax brings source‑capture efficiency to high‑duty South African fabrication environments, minimising welder exposure while supporting productivity.
Built for 1 to2 users, GoMax automatically starts with welding activity, regulates airflow, and performs self‑cleaning to keep performance consistent during long shifts. The unit combines a high‑efficiency nanofiber main filter (optional HEPA stage) with a compact, mobile design that can also be wall mounted which is ideal for crowded bays or flexible workstations. Nederman specifies up to 250 m³/h airflow at 10 kPa (model‑dependent), a working pressure of 22 kPa, noise of 75 dB(A), a 50 mm hose, and 7.2 m² filter area. Overall filter efficiency is listed at 99.7%. The system is optimised for all common welding torches and is compliant with ISO 21904‑1/‑2:2020 for welding fume capture which is key for HSE programmes in heavy industry, automotive and mining supply chains. Notably, Nederman indicates up to 25% lower energy use versus the previous generation.
In South Africa, Envirox supports GoMax as Nederman’s sole distributor and importer for Southern Africa. Envirox’s specialist team delivers end‑to‑end services, pre‑studies, system design, installation, commissioning, training and maintenance, helping local plants select the right on‑torch extraction strategy, validate capture performance and align with site energy targets. Our engineering depth and long‑standing Nederman partnership position Envirox as knowledge leaders in industrial air filtration, ready to help SA manufacturers protect people, product and the environment with verifiable, standards‑based solutions.
For South African facilities looking to reduce exposure at the arc, lower energy intensity and improve weld bay air quality, Nederman’s Fume Eliminator GoMax, backed by Envirox expertise, offers a practical, metrics‑driven upgrade path to cleaner, safer production.
