Extraction arms - Capturing fumes at the source

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Plymovent specializes in products designed to capture and remove welding fumes, cutting fumes, grinding dust, sparks, and spatter. Their primary goal is to protect workers' health and safety while ensuring a clean and safe working environment. Extraction arms are highlighted as one of the most effective solutions for source extraction, capturing fumes directly at the source.
Source Extraction
Extraction arms are emphasized as the most effective method for removing fumes from welding, cutting, and grinding processes. Plymovent offers various products for source extraction, including downdraft and backdraft workbenches, stationary and mobile filtration units. These arms are positioned near the welding process to capture and extract fumes directly.
Safety and Regulations
Source extraction is crucial for protecting welders and others in the vicinity by preventing fumes from reaching the breathing zone. It is recommended by health institutions for fixed workplaces and contributes to a cleaner, safer, and healthier working environment. Compliance with occupational health and safety regulations is necessary for all companies.
