Efficient welding fume extraction for a healthy and safe working environment in your production facility.

Welding fumes: classified as carcinogenic by the World Health Organization (WHO). This applies both to fumes released from regular welding, but certainly to fumes generated from welding stainless steel, which releases chromium-VI. (source: substance check app Inspectorate SZW). So it is important to avoid exposing your employees to welding fumes.

LUTEC Luchttechniek is a specialist in the field of industrial climate control and extraction of welding fumes / welding vapor / oil mist. We supply various types of systems, including source extraction through extraction arms, but also mixing systems and displacement ventilation.

Blending: a form of spatial filtration, where contaminated air is extracted from the work area and filtered. The filtered air is then blown back into the room at high speed at the level of the welding fume blanket. This powerful blow-in stream optimally mixes the contaminated air in the work area with clean air. Result: a decrease in the average pollution level.

Advantages:

• Low initial investment
• Simple, quick and economical application
• Easy to move and expand
• Low maintenance
• Plug and play system

Welding fume extraction via displacement ventilation is a natural method of ventilation. Especially suitable for high (production) rooms. The clean and conditioned air is introduced at the bottom of the production hall, where people work and breathe. Contaminants are carried upwards by the natural airflow and removed there. The heat carried along is reused after filtering the air.

Advantages:

• Supply of clean, fresh air in the occupied zone (inhaled air is cleaner)
• Up to 50% reduction of ventilation air
• Saving energy and operating costs
• Efficient and with high efficiency (heat recovery)
• Large portion eligible
• Meeting current legislation and future expectations

LUTEC installs these systems at a variety of companies within the manufacturing industry. From smaller metal processing companies to larger ones such as Deprest NV, De Meyer Constructie, DAF Trucks and Bombardier. We make an inventory of your wishes, take measurements at your production location and translate these into an optimal installation for you. Of course with advice on possible subsidies or opportunities for energy savings. Sustainability and a healthy working environment for your employees are always central.
