To achieve effective and safe fume extraction at source is to correctly position the fume extractor with a well-designed (with appropriate airflow) and positioned hood, so that the hazardous fumes are sucked away from a welder's breathing zone and to also prevent fumes from spreading throughout the workplace.

Solutions for extracting fumes and dust from weld or cutting applications:

1. Mobile extraction / filter units
   A cost-effective and flexible solution when fixed installation is not possible or desirable
   
   
2. Extraction arms
   Ergonomic and economical solution for several fixed welding workstations
   
   
3. On-Tool / On-Torch
   Extraction of welding fumes is integrated in the welding gun. Always available when you are welding.
   
   
4. Extraction table
   Used when you need an independent welding station without arm. Suitable for continuous welding of smaller items.
   
   
5. Solutions for welding robots
   Extraction nozzles are mounted directly on the welding machine or alternatively hoods are installed to protect both sensitive electronics and operators.  For medium and small workshops, solutions 1-3 are the most common.
