Welding and thermal cutting filtration

Filtration and extraction solutions to ensure safety and efficiency in welding and cutting processes.

Introduction to fume control for welding and thermal cutting

All forms of the welding processes generate visible smoke that contains harmful metal fume and gases. This is why a high efficiency and reliable filtration and extraction solution is so important. Metal particles in welding fumes are less than a micrometer in diameter and easy to inhale and be absorbed into the body.

Filtration and extraction solutions are also necessary in case of thermal cutting processes, which are related to welding as they involve the melting of metal and the generation of airborne metal fume.

Problems with welding and thermal cutting emissions

Without a comprehensive extraction and removal system in place, metal particles can cause serious health problems for all employees in their field of work. Prolonged exposure to these toxic substances can lead to cancer, as well as nervous system and kidney damage. If ventilation is inadequate, certain gases can pose suffocation risks.

Coral USA solutions for welding and thermal cutting fume extraction

Coral USA can provide small portable welding fume extractors and collectors, suitable for intermittent operation, and centralized collection and filtration systems for medium to high airflow applications. These systems employ the use of cartridge filters, sleeve filters or bag filters.
Coral USA also offers a variety of other filtration related products for industrial applications such as: self-supporting extraction arms and downdraft tables with filtration.
The ideal solutions to protect your workers and your equipment, by capturing fumes, gases, smoke and dust directly at the source.
