Fume Extraction Arms

What Is a Fume Extraction Arm?

Fume Extraction Arms are flexible local exhaust solutions designed to capture welding fumes, gases, vapors, and light airborne particles directly at the source. Connected to central filtration systems, mobile fume extractors, or industrial exhaust systems, a Fume Extraction Arm helps prevent airborne contaminants from spreading throughout the workplace while improving operator safety and indoor air quality.

How Does a Fume Extraction Arm Work?

Thanks to its articulated design, a Fume Extraction Arm can be easily positioned exactly where extraction is required. During welding and other industrial processes, contaminants are captured directly at the source and transported through the connected filtration or ventilation system before they can reach the operator’s breathing zone.

Advantages of Fume Extraction Arms

Fume Extraction Arms provide effective source capture while occupying minimal workspace. Their robust articulated mechanism and flexible hose allow smooth positioning and stable operation in any working position. This improves extraction efficiency while maintaining operator comfort and productivity.

Connection Options and Technical Features

FRESHWELD Fume Extraction Arms can be connected to Central Filtration Systems, mobile fume extractors, industrial ventilation ducts, and exhaust fans. They are equipped with anti-static, flame-retardant PU hoses suitable for operating temperatures between -40°C and +90°C. Multiple diameters, arm lengths, and mounting options allow each system to be configured for specific industrial applications.

Where Are Fume Extraction Arms Used?

Fume Extraction Arms are ideal for manual welding stations, soldering applications, laboratory processes, light chemical vapor extraction, grinding operations, and other industrial applications requiring efficient local source extraction. Different hose materials and configurations can be selected according to the specific process and contaminants involved.

Supporting HSE-Compliant Local Exhaust Ventilation

FRESHWELD Fume Extraction Arms help capture hazardous fumes directly at the source, reducing operator exposure to airborne contaminants and improving workplace air quality. Their efficient source capture performance supports compliance with HSE Standards while contributing to cleaner, safer, and more productive industrial environments.
