During the colder months more often than not, the doors to the workshop floors are closed to retain heat and for employees to keep warm. The same goes for vehicle service stations and repair shops, and what many don’t realise is that when this is done, all the fumes are kept inside rather than dispersed outside.
Vehicle exhaust fumes when inhaled can have a negative impact the on the lung as these fumes are made up of dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, formaldehyde and benzene. Depending on the length of exposure to these gases symptoms can range from coughing and asthma to compromised immune system and even cancer. Carbon monoxide poisoning is also a major concern when enough of these fumes are inhaled.
The solution to keeping these workshops safe during the colder months, and also the summer months, is to install a fume extractor. Nederman, supplied by Envirox, have quality fume extractors and accessories for the expulsion of vehicle fumes from various types of industries.
The Nederman single and double exhaust extractor hose comes standard with a bracket for easy installation. The single exhaust extractor is ideal for all types of stationary vehicles. It has the option to come with or without a fan and is available with a balancer which rises the hose and nozzle after disconnection and will keep them lifted. The double exhaust extractor can expel exhaust fumes from two vehicles at the same time. It can also work for vehicles that have twin exhaust pipes. These Nederman exhaust extractor hoses are cost-effective and require minimal space.
Envirox also supplies Nederman high quality electric motor-driven and spring recoil exhaust hose reels which both help to keep the workshop neat and tidy with a hose that can be effectively coiled. The electric motor-driven exhaust host reel is ideal for workshops with high ceilings and is controlled by remote control – a choice of pendant control or infrared is available. The receiving eye on the reel can monitor any malfunctions or unnecessary wear and tear on the hose. The spring recoil hose reel is perfect for all types of vehicle workshops where the hose needs to hang at a reachable height. The retraction speed control can be set for safety and efficiency purposes. Automatic dampers have been added to reduce noise levels and can save energy contributing to economical resource management. Lifting capacity can be adjusted, and if needed a spring-recoil exhaust hose reel can be upgraded to an electric motor-driven option.
