Powertech Pollution Controls – The Finest Welding Fume Extractor Solution!
Welders are exposed to many known carcinogens that accompany the welding fumes coming out of welding operations. These workers have thus been researched to present an increased risk of different types of cancers, as compared to those who have never been exposed to poisonous welding fumes. A 78% risk of mesothelioma, 40% risk of bladder cancer, 30% risk of kidney cancer, and 16% risk of lung cancer are seen to be found in those associated with welding operations. These may not only include welders, but also those who work in close proximity to the welding operations, even though they do not themselves execute direct welding.
Even the smallest of particles, when remain suspended in the air, can endanger workers for up to 48 hours after the welding operations! This makes it absolutely important to capture these particles as soon as they are generated. This is where a welding fume extractor becomes important to eliminate and reduce the spread of welding fumes. With over years of experience in welding fume extraction, Powertech Pollution Controls is an established market leader in providing such extractor systems. But what exactly is it that sets their fume extractors apart from the rest?
Why choose Powertech Pollution Controls?
Powertech Pollution Controls’ Fumekiller is a high-efficiency two-stage electrostatic filtration system that is designed and developed for the capture and control of not only fumes, but also smoke, mist, and fine dust. The small hazardous particles enter the electrostatic filter through the suction inlet, wherein they first enter the pre-filter where large particles are removed. The finer particles then enter the electrostatic module where they receive a positive charge between a series of parallel aluminium plates. These charged particles then pass through another series of aluminium plates that are negatively charged, thus sticking to these oppositely charged plates, and remaining adhered to then even when the electrostatic filter is switched off. The clean air then escapes through the outlet, where the post filter evenly distributes the air through the electrostatic modules.
Powertech Pollution Controls’ Fumekiller is different from other conventional systems, in a variety of ways. Some unique aspects that sets it apart include –
Re-usable filters
Most systems use disposable filters to capture welding fumes. As these filters are used over time, they become loaded, which compromises the flow rate an extraction power, unless the filters are replaced. This means the cost of maintaining the extraction power is high, as you need to keep replacing the filters frequently. But, with Powertech Pollution Controls’ Fumekiller, this need is eliminated, as these systems use filters that can be many times washable and reusable during the life of the equipment. This makes them longer lasting, which keeps running costs significantly low, as compared to conventional mechanical filters.
Flexible extraction arms
The Fumekiller can incorporate the usage of the extractor arm, which allows the user to position a suction hood to capture fumes close to the generation spot, with complete ease and flexibility. The arm can be swivelled by hand about 270 degrees, and can be positioned easily within a nominal distance specified for each arm. The maintenance and running costs are low, as all the components are built for continuous, safe, reliable, and efficient use. This system thus contributes to a safer and healthier work environment, where toxic airborne pollutants are removed right next to the source.
Safety measures
The Fumekiller has been incorporated with further safety features like limit switches, motor protection, and high voltage fault trip circuitry, for safe, reliable, and efficient functioning.
When to use Powertech Pollution Controls’ Fumekiller?
Powertech Pollution Controls’ Fumekiller can be used in a variety of applications like welding, induction hardening, heat treatment, ink spray, oil quenching, annealing, soldering, wire drawing, dip tinning, rubber curing, die casting, wave soldering, and many more. The Fumekiller can also be used to capture fine powder from tabletting, capsuling, and finishing operations! So, if you’re interested, you can always get in touch and purchase the finest welding fume extractor system from us, to enable long-lasting, reliable, and durable facilities to maintain a safe and healthy working environment for your workers.
