Weld Fume Extraction Case Study - Liftmoore | Fume Xtractors

Liftmoore Case Study
Portable Fume Extractors for
Production Welding

Welder operating with Fume Xtractors portable fume extraction system for cleaner air and safer workspace.

Project Overview

Liftmoore, a leading manufacturer, required effective fume extraction that would not interfere with their welding operations. After implementing portable fume extractors, the facility achieved measurable improvements in air quality and operator satisfaction, leading to plans for installation across all 12 welding stations.

The Challenge: Finding Fume Extraction That Doesn't Get in the Way

Liftmoore's welding team needed effective fume extraction, but past experiences with other brands had shown them the limitations of traditional solutions. Other extractors required intake funnels positioned extremely close to the weld area, creating obstructions that interfered with their work. The team needed a solution that would effectively remove fumes while respecting their workspace.

Solution: Superior Suction at a Distance

Liftmoore implemented portable fume extractors with superior suction capability, starting with one unit for evaluation. The key difference? A powerful 24-inch suction draw that allows the intake to be positioned far from the weld area—eliminating the workspace interference of previous solutions.

Results: From Skeptics to Advocates in Days

While welders were initially cautious due to past experiences, they quickly recognized the advantage when they saw how far away the intake could be placed. Operators now use the units consistently without reminders — a key indicator of effective workplace integration.

With three units now in service, the systems have demonstrated reliable operation:
• Zero operational issues across all units
• Filter performance averaging 10 days between maintenance cycles
• Consistent fume extraction under daily production demands
• Improved operator compliance with air quality protocols

Based on the outstanding results, Liftmoore immediately ordered two additional units and plans to gradually equip all 12 welding stations.

Client Testimonial

"I wanted to follow up and let you know we received the fume extractor we ordered and have had it in use the past few days. I will say I am thoroughly impressed by this machine and it exceeded what my expectations were. It was obvious from the moment it arrived that this is a solid machine and has proven that in the Welding Station we placed it. Outstanding Product!

The suction draw at 24" is the biggest value. Myself and other welders here that have used other brands of extractors in the past found that with other brands the intake funnel had to be placed very close to the weld area and made it annoying to work around. The distance these can be placed from the weld area has made a more positive impact on the welders that are using them and they are more willing to do so since it is not directly in their way.

This is definitely a well made product and we are very happy with the performance of these units at this time."
