Weld Smoke Collector

Industrial welders are in continual contact with dangerous weld fumes and gases. Weld processes such as flux-cored arc welding and shielded metal arc welding produce significant amounts of hazardous small particulate chemical compounds. Hazards and concerns include:

Toxic gases can result from welding processes
Weld smoke fume, comprised of 30 to 80 percent submicron-sized particles, lingers in the air
Without a reliable weld smoke collector, fumes are inhaled by your employees
Welding stainless steel (Hexavalent Chromium) is regulated by OSHA Standard 29 CFR1910.1026. The OSHA personal exposure limit is 5 milligrams³ for hexavalent chromium generated from cutting metal.

Glacier Technology provides solutions to make your work environment safer with weld smoke collectors from FARR APC, AER Control, and Plymovent. Stationary and portable weld smoke collectors are used to contain welding fumes before they intrude on your welder’s breathing zone. If several welders are working simultaneously, a central collection system can be implemented, which involves the remote installation of a cartridge dust collector and flexible fume exhauster arms with hoods mounted at the individual welding stations.

With the many government regulations that are now in effect, compliance is a major concern. Glacier Technology will help you make sure your facility is in compliance with regulations for exhausting weld smoke inside and outside, and also in accordance with standards for aluminum grinding and welding stainless steel.
