Welders are exposed to zinc, manganese and other metals over long periods of time. In the UK, statistics have shown that a welder’s risk of lung cancer is over 25% higher than the general population.
The best way to reduce this harm is remove the fumes before the welder breathes them in. The use of Fume Arms, positioned close to the fume source, offers safe, effective and efficent welding fume control. Don’t rely on fans in the roof, as the welder has already suffered breathing the fumes, before they leave the building; the closer you remove the fumes from the source, the less air and fumes you have to capture and the smaller the fan and filter you have to pay for!
NZ Duct+Flex have a range of European-sourced products to provide a cost-effective solution for any workshop situation, giving you and your staff the welding fume control you require. Our fume arms are easy to manoeuvre into the correct position, meaning your staff can protect themselves effortlessly.
