Fume Control Case Histories

 
 

Application:  Welding fume and grinding dust produced by heavy metal manufacturing.

Solution:  
Installation of 7M Kemper cantilever extraction arms with positional capture hoods ensuring total containment and control at source.

Application:  Solvent emissions produced by manual preparation and application of resins.

Solution:  Installation of 3M Plymovent cantilever extraction arms with positional capture hoods ensuring total containment and control at source upon the floor and work bench areas.

  
  
 
     

 

Application: Vehicle exhaust emissions  commercial  vehicle workshop.

Solution: 
LEV system, comprising a Nederman high level retractable vehicle exhaust reel, flexible hose and clamp-on nozzle.

 

 
 

Application: Fume release at the die-head of two extrusion units.

Solution: Installation of two receptor hoods positioned directly over the die-head positions, interconnecting ductwork and a bifurcated extraction fan.

Application: Ink print workshop production airborne solvent emissions.

Solution: LEV system incorporating receptor hoods at each printing plant, stepped interconnecting ductwork system and an external extraction fan.

 

Application: Welding fume released from automated robotic spot welding units.

Solution: LEV system comprising receptor hoods positioned over the robotic welding positions, coupled via stepped interconnecting ductwork to an internal filtration unit enabling recirculation of exhaust air
.

Application: Ozone emissions produced from laser equipment within a laboratory.

Solution: Small-scale Nederman LEV system with an integral activated carbon filter.

 
 

Application: Fume emissions released from an automated soldering plant.

Solution: Negative pressure environment imposed within the machinery enclosure via a ducted extraction facility.

Application: Hazardous chemical specimen examination process within hospital laboratory.

Solution: Medical downdraft table coupled to an extraction fan located within a plant room via interconnecting circular UPVC ductwork.

 

Application: Welding emissions generated and released from a number of welding robots upon a recently installed automated production line at Toyota's site.

Solution: The restrictions imposed by the movement of the welding robots prevented low level LEV therefore a number of receptor hoods where installed to positions directly over the welding points.

 

Application: Welding emissions generated and released by a number of automated and manual welding cells.

Solution: The remote manual welding locations and the movement of automated welding plant prevented consideration of LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation.  Consequently, a number of roof mounted extraction fans where installed to ensure dilution and removal of welding emissions and to also alleviate heat build up within the production areas.
