Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing a wall or floor mounted filter unit with extraction arms for a welding station.
It is a complete fixed extraction package: one or more extraction arms connected to a fan and filter unit. The arm captures fume at the weld, the filter cleans the air and the cleaned air is returned to the workshop.Because it does not need ducting to the outside, it is quick to install and keeps the heat in the building.
Choose the number of arms by how many welders will work at the same time and how far apart they are. A single-arm package suits one station, while twin-arm versions serve two welders next to each other.The unit must have the airflow to run all its arms at once. Adding arms without enough fan capacity weakens capture.
Lighter arms are simpler, and suit occasional or light use. Heavier-duty arms usually hold their position better, move more smoothly and are built for daily use.The right choice depends on how often the arm will be moved, the reach needed and the working environment.
Wall-mounted units save floor space, but the wall must carry the weight and vibration. Floor-standing units suit places with no suitable wall. Leave room for filter changes and access for servicing.The arm should reach the whole work area, so place the unit close to the welding position.
