Welding Smoke and Fumes:
One problem---With more than one Solution

HOODS

Ventilation Hood Model RH60-3x4-72S

 

Ventilation Hood Model RH60-3

Industrial Maid has designed a unique ventilation welding fumes and smoke collection hood system. The system uses a three stage filter package including a spark arrestance filter, a 4” pleated pre-filter and a 95%multi-pocket main bag filter. Our robotic hood system does not require storage of dust in trays or barrels and does not require compressed air for operation. The low air to cloth ratio and use of media style bags also requires a lower horsepower rating, helping save on yearly electrical operational costs. The outer cabinet of the hood is manufactured using a recycled polyethylene plastic, making it lighter, quieter, less expensive and more environmentally friendly than a typical carbon steel cabinet. Several fume hood sizes and airflow ranges from 1,000 to 6,000 CFM are available.

Ventilation Hood Model RH60-3

Industrial Maid knows that you need welding smoke removal that protects your workers but won't interrupt your workflow.  Innovative solutions like this robotic welding hood and work station crane are what we do best.

 

At Industrial Maid we work  with our customers and their material handling contractors to find custom fume hood solutions to industrial air filtration challenges. 

The customer featured here needed to provide a welding fume ventilation system in order to improve the air quality for their welders.  The most common solution would have been to enclose the work cells with walls and use an ambient fume collector, but an overhead crane was needed to bring in raw goods and take out finished product so an Industrial Maid robotic welding hood provided the perfect answer.  A freestanding workstation was designed featuring a Model RH60-3 that moves along a steel overpass
with tractor drives.   The filter hood system can service more than one welding cell and allows for the delivery crane activity with crossbar support on each end.

The welding exhaust hood featured here has a 14 & 16 gauge powder coated steel frame, 18 gauge galvanized steel hood and dust proof light kit.  Although a carbon steel option is available if the application requires it, the 3/16" polyethlyene panels make the 900 lb. fume hood lighter quieter and less expensive to operate.  Other options available are HEPA afterfilter, direct drive bi-blower package, silencer, pressure gauge, side access door and curtain enclosure.

 

Welding exhaust hoods
RH36VX2

Industrial Maid LLC introduces the new RHV fume exhaust hood – a complete packaged ductless fume hood ventilation solution for industrial air filtration. The units can be configured to cover areas from 4’ X 4’ to 16’ X 16’ or larger. A three stage filter system includes the baffle filter, 4” pleated filter (Merv 7) and a 95% multi-pocket main bag filter (Merv 13).  These filters will handle oily welding smoke and options are available to include a final HEPA filter for stainless steel fume or other applications requiring higher efficiency filtration.  Our RHV fume extraction equipment incorporates a low static pressure motor blower package, requires no compressed air and no handling of dust from trays or drums. The resulting efficiency translates into an economical solution for handling welding fume collection; dollars saved as a direct result of controlling utility costs. 
 

 BACKDRAFT

stainless steel fume
Model EB56 MOD

Industrial Maid introduces the new Model EB56 series packaged air filtration unit. This system is designed to handle welding fume exhaust  and smoke, grinding dust, stainless steel dust and other airborne particulates. The powerful 4500 CFM, 5 HP motor with a direct drive high pressure BI composite blower makes the system quiet, efficient and easy to service. The air passes through a spark baffle for arrestance, then moves through a plenum chamber to eliminate heavy particles, then lastly passes thru a Merv 7 and Merv 14 series of filters. A HEPA final filter is also available to meet hexavalent chromium fume standards for stainless steel smoke.

FILTER WALLS & ENVIRONMENTAL BOOTHS

 Model FW35-4     

As leading fume hood manufacturers, Industrial Maid is proud to announce the addition of our Model FW35-4 “side draft” filter wall unit for use in industrial manufacturing plants to contain welding smoke & fumes, grinding dusts, vapors and other air borne contaminants. This unit is mounted on a steel pallet with fork lift slips, offers three stages of filtration – 1) 2” polyester pre-filter or 2” spark baffle filter – 2) 4” pleated filter & 3) 45% to 95% multi pocket bag filter. The system has a cabinet manufactured from high density polyethylene plastic – making it lighter, quieter, non-corrosive and environmentally friendly versus a steel cabinet system. The unit runs on low horsepower ratings, uses low air to cloth ratios and requires no compressed air or control boards for operation.  The maintenance is fast and simple – access thru the front or an option is available for rear access doors - no tools required. The units offer business and industry a “lower cost of ownership” as compared to existing technologies.

  Model FW35-4 w/Environmental Booth

Industrial Maid has designed a unique Model FW35-4 environmental control booth to help contain fugitive dust in the industrial workplace. The system incorporates a three stage media style filtration system, powered by a totally enclosed motor and belt drive blower package. Three standard sizes are available - 6” width, 10’ width and 20’ width. The booth housing is modular in design with acoustical sound control. The air filtration module has fork lift slips and an airflow range from 4,500 to 15,000 CFM. As with other IM LLC equipment, the outer cabinet shell is manufactured using a recycled polyethylene plastic, making it lighter, quieter, less expensive and more environmentally friendly than a typical carbon steel cabinet. The booth systems do not require use of compressed air and have a lower energy consumption rate as compared to similar cartridge style units.

At Industrial Maid we are very proud of our "workhorse" the T-Series.  The use of a T-style air cleaner configuration offers key advantages for "free hanging" air filtration applications:

  • Dual Intake - Twice the normal intake area of a straight-through air cleaner
                         (more intake helps create a better airflow pattern)

  • Dual Filters - Nearly twice the filter media of a straight-through air cleaner
                         (longer filter life and filter service intervals)

  • Air Angles - Clean air throw is 90° from the intakes allowing for better air patterns
                         (factory wall can be used as a barrier to help dirty air into the intakes)

 


Model T-3000 Our Most Popular Ambient!

 Industrial Maid's T-Series  includes our most popular AZTECH Model T 3000 modular ambient industrial air cleaning units with cabinets fabricated from recycled polyethylene plastic. The attractive black matte finish will not dent, scratch or corrode and meets all NFPA fire codes. The Industry will notice that the product is lighter, dampens blower noise, is less expensive and more environmentally conscious than comparable equipment manufactured with carbon steel cabinets. The unique systems are completely modular, so additional cabinets can be added for more sq. ft of filter media and will accommodate air flow rates of 3,000 to 7,500 cfm.

Problem:  Health hazards of welding fume exposure makes air cleaning equipment a must.

There is no question that exposure to welding fumes can cause serious health problems. When inhaled, these fumes can enter the lungs, bloodstream, brain nerve cells, spinal cord and other organs resulting in both short and long term health issues.  In order to protect their workforce, all employers should ensure that proper ventilation systems are incorporated into welding work areas. These systems, which may include ventilation hoods, ducted overhead units, portables, ambient air cleaners or backdraft units, filter walls and booths should efficiently source capture toxic fumes and gases and remove them so that they never enter the welder's breathing space.

Solution: Choosing the right system to insure Employee safety.  Industrial Maid can help.

Finding the best equipment to capture and remove welding smoke and fumes is important but it doesn't have to be complicated.  At Industrial Maid we have engineers with years of experience when it comes to putting together all of the factors you need to consider when implementing an air filtration system.  We have included a few application pictures here to demonstrate that there are many options when designing an air filtration plan. 

At Industrial Maid we use the newest technology to design and manufacture air filtration equipment that will address the problems all business face including space, air flow, costs, efficiency and challenges that are specific to the type of material being welded.  Another important consideration is the type of filters that best suit the system you choose.  Give us a call at TF: 877-624-3247 or send us an email: sales@industrial-maid.com. We carry a full line of pleat, bag, and HEPA filters so be sure to ask our staff which would be best for your type of application.
