Extraction arms The most effective way to remove welding fumes

Multiple arm system with KUA metal tube extraction arms and FlexMax extension cranes Do you protect your welders? We do. Plymovent products capture and remove –among others– welding fumes, cutting fumes, grinding dust, sparks and spatter. Our products are primarily developed to protect the worker’s health and safety, and that of the people working nearby. Secondly, we want to ensure a clean and safe working environment. Extraction arms are –by far– the most effective way to remove fumes from welding, cutting and grinding processes. Extraction arms –in particular– belong to our most...

Plymovent can give you advice –without any obligation– meeting your specific requirements on reach, volume and flexibility. Advice about the various types and on which arm to choose. A combination of arms is also possible, to ensure optimal extraction at each workplace. The extraction arms and cranes of Plymovent reach from 1 m up to 9.8 m in length and from 75 mm up to 203 mm in diameter. Which type suits best? Small workshops...

Overall features PLASTIC TUBE EXTRACTION ARMS ■■ Tubes are made of the high-quality engineering plastic polypropylene. ■■ Large inlet: diameter 203 mm (low air resistance). ■■ Precise positioning, as the hood of the arm can rotate 360° and therefore can turn optimally toward the welding fumes, thanks to the RotaHood1 mechanism. ■■ Light-weighted. ■■ Solid, harmless to impact/damages and shock-absorbing. ■■ Ease of use, the EasyLift2 system ensures easy movement and repositioning thanks to the friction system (only applies to the Flex extraction arms). ■■ The BalanceWheel3 spring balance...

Plastic tube extraction arms T-Flex; Telescopic extraction arm ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Compact arm, ideal for workbenches/small areas like welding cabins at schools. Ease of use as the EasyLift friction system ensures easy movement. Wall-mounted arm with a maximum reach of 1.4 m. Cost-effective choice. T-Flex/CW; Telescopic extraction arm The T-Flex/CW model has a counter weight (CW) which gives you the possibility to position the arm more precise. The maximum reach is 2.5 m. The T-Flex/CW suits applications that generate oily welding fumes better than the standard T-Flex. Flex-2/3/4; Flexible...

Plastic tube extraction arms NEC-2/4; Extension crane To cover a large area in a welding workshop an extension crane can be helpful. NEC-2 extends the reach of a plastic tube extraction arm with two metres and a NEC-4 with four metres. NEC features the HandyStop system in the mounting bracket. This system enables you to lock the horizontal movement quickly in five positions. Its technical design ensures ease of use thanks to its stable, solid construction. NEC-4 reaches up to 8.3 m and suits the Flex-3/4 and UltraFlex-3/4 arm. Options The plastic tube arms can be extended with a working...

Metal tube extraction arms MiniMan-75; Extraction arm ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Clear-thru design ensures uninterrupted airflow. All mechanisms are on the outside of the arm, resulting in maximum extraction. Compact arm, perfect for workbenches and small working areas. Ease of use, moving and adjusting the arm precisely is easy. Tube diameter: 75 mm. 1 or 1.5 m in length with a maximum reach of 1.5 m. Supplied fully assembled, to be mounted directly on top of a workbench. Recommended for detailed work, like soldering. The MiniMan-75 is also available in the colour white for the removal of small...

Metal tube extraction arms MultiSmart Arm; Extraction arm ■■ Clear-thru design ensures uninterrupted airflow. ■■ All mechanisms are on the outside of the arm, resulting in maximum extraction (low pressure drop) and little maintenance. ■■ Recommended for large air volumes, thanks to the large diameter (200 mm) and the uninterrupted airflow. ■■ Extremely solid thanks to extra chassis/balance support. ■■ Tube diameter: 125, 160 and 200 mm. ■■ 3 or 4 m in length with a maximum reach of 4 m. Recommended for the heavy industry, all kinds of welding processes, grinding and plasma cutting. The...

Hose tube extraction arms Junior LM-2; Telescopic extraction arm ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ Compact arm, perfect for small areas/cabins e.g. welding schools. Suitable for working areas with a low ceiling. Ease of movement thanks to the 360 degree grip on the hood. Ease of use thanks to the internal spring system and light materials. The ball bearings in the mounting brackets ensure accurate rotation and a long lifespan. ■■ The counter weight enables precise positioning of the arm. ■■ Tube diameter: 160 mm with a maximum reach of 2 m. Recommended for light welding activities in cabins and at schools....

A working light can be installed inside the hood of the metal and hose tube arms to light up your workpiece. A welding cable sensor (WCS) is available for ease of use, as it switches the connected fan on and off automatically. Additionally, various stanchions are available for perfect mounting, see the possibilities below. FlowGuard Optionally we offer the FlowGuard. This sensor measures the airflow in the extraction arm. This way, you always know whether the airflow is high enough or maintenance services are needed. The FlowGuard suits all extraction arms. Mounting possibilities Standing...
