The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for welding fumes, as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.1000, sets a maximum concentration of 5 mg/m3 as . This limit applies to the total fume content produced when welding iron, mild steel, or aluminum.

We offer a comprehensive range of fume extraction solutions to suit various welding and industrial environments:

Fume Arms
We offer two different styles of fume extraction arms.

Hanging Fume Extraction Arm: Easily mounts to ceilings, walls, or posts and provides 2x the suction distance compared to competitors.
Standing Fume Extraction Arms: Mount to a table-top or work-bench. These provide the best extraction for table-top projects where a wall, ceiling, or post mount is not possible.

Portable Fume Extractors
We provide three different Portable Fume Extractors as an excellent source capture solution for welding shops.

Production Grade units: Auto-pulsing filters for longer life and less maintenance.
Medium Duty units: A no-frills, economical option suitable for moderate use.
Light Duty ultra-lite portables: Perfect for source capture in a wide range of lighter applications.

Wall-Mounted Fume Extractors
We offer three types of Wall Mounted Fume Extractors — each type provides efficient fume extraction tailored to different workplace needs and safety requirements.

Filtration (Plug-And-Play): These self-contained units are the easiest to install. Simply mount to a wall or welding booth and connect to a power source.
Filtration & Spark Trap: These units include all features of our Filtered units, plus a spark trap for additional safety in spark-prone environments.
Ducted (Exhausts Outside): Designed to exhaust fumes and dust either outside the facility or to a larger dust collection and filtration system.

Welding Booths
Our Welding Booths are specially designed for welding schools, technical colleges, and production environments with limited space. Our Booths feature hands-free source capture, ensuring optimal safety and efficiency.

Dry Downdraft Tables
Our Dry Downdraft Tables offer an all-in-one solution for eliminating hazardous dusts, smoke, and fumes directly at the source. Our dry downdraft table stands out by extracting hazardous contaminants at twice the feet per minute (FPM) compared to competitors, ensuring more efficient and effective fume extraction in your workspace.

Wet Downdraft Tables
Our Wet Downdraft Tables are designed to control explosive dust at the source. These tables use high face velocity to capture combustible dust, such as Aluminum and Titanium, and water to neutralize explosion risks. Fume Xtractors Wet Downdraft Tables comply with all NFPA 652, 654, & 484 standards, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.

Ambient Air Cleaners
Our Ambient Air Cleaners act as an effective secondary air quality solution. These units work alongside primary collection systems to extract remaining airborne particulates in welding environments.

Each product is designed to meet specific needs and regulatory requirements. Our team can help you choose the best solution for your workspace. For detailed specifications on each product type, please visit our product pages or contact our sales team.
