Welding fume extraction
When welding is carried out, welding fumes are always produced, regardless of the welding method. This welding fume is unpleasant to say the least. When welding high-alloy steels (CrNi steels), but also non-ferrous metals, the resulting welding fumes are even carcinogenic. With a welding fume extraction system from BHM Maschinen, you can quickly get this problem under control. Our welding fume extraction units from ELMAG are mobile and work very efficiently.
Thanks to long extraction hoses or pipes, they can be positioned exactly above the work area and extract the fumes where they are produced. The extracted welding fumes are passed through effective filters and returned to the room. A welding fume extraction system from ELMAG from our range is also a recommendable and sensible investment for do-it-yourselfers to protect their own health.

Frequently asked questions about welding fume extraction:
How does a welding fume extraction system work?
A welding fume extraction system or welding fume extraction unit works in principle like a hoover. A welding fume extraction system consists of a housing containing the suction motor and an air filter. A hose or a multi-part pipe leads from the housing to an extraction bonnet.
With a mobile ELMAG welding fume extraction unit from our range, you can extract fumes produced during welding directly at the work area. The advantage of ELMAG extraction systems is that no large extraction bonnet is required. Each ELMAG welding extraction unit is equipped with a specially shaped small bonnet that sucks up more than 90 % of the welding fumes.
Due to the small size of the bonnet, only a small area is covered and the bonnet does not interfere with the work. The fume that is sucked up is led via a hose or pipe system to the filter in the extraction system. Smoke particles are removed from the extracted air by the filter insert. The exhaust air cleaned in this way can be returned to the room.
Where is a mobile welding fume extraction system used?
A mobile welding fume extraction unit from our range is the ideal addition for companies and workshops where welding work is repeatedly carried out in various company areas, for example during repairs. These extractors can be moved directly to the place of use without much effort thanks to the equipment with rollers. A mobile welding extractor is also a practical addition to workshop equipment for car workshops and DIY enthusiasts.
What does W3/IFA certification mean for a welding fume extraction unit?
If chromium-nickel steels or non-ferrous metals have to be welded in workshops and industrial plants, only certain welding equipment is approved for this purpose. The welding fumes from chrome-nickel steels and partly also non-ferrous metals are carcinogenic. The W3 certification of the IFA is mandatory for extraction systems in these areas. The W3 certification documents that the system meets the high requirements for effective welding extraction in these areas. IFA is the abbreviation for "Institute for Occupational Safety".
Can a welding fume extraction system be repaired?
Every welding fume extraction unit and from ELMAG in our range is designed for a long service life. In the event of a breakdown, the supply of spare parts for these machines for the extraction of welding fumes is generally assured. And that for years to come. Because of the simple construction of these machines, repairs are quickly done. Even changing the filters requires only a few steps and can be done without any special knowledge.
For whom is a welding fume extraction system worthwhile?
A welding fume extraction system is certainly worthwhile for anyone who has to weld stainless steels or non-ferrous metals. In these cases, an extraction system, for example from ELMAG from the BHM Maschinen range, is a sensible investment to protect your own health. Even if welding work of this type only has to be carried out occasionally. The health hazards of welding fumes from stainless steel and non-ferrous metals should not be underestimated. In particular, frequent and prolonged exposure should be avoided by using a welding fume extraction system.
In principle, the purchase of an effective welding fume extraction system is worthwhile for all metalworking companies where welding takes place. Locksmith's shops and car workshops are the first to be mentioned here. But also for ambitious do-it-yourselfers who regularly carry out welding work, it is worth considering the purchase of a welding fume extraction system for the hobby cellar. Because welding fumes from other metals are not healthy either.
