Safer training

Flextraction has installed a welding fume and dust extraction system in a welder training facility at Stevenage Skills Centre, part of North Hertfordshire College. The system has the latest totally self supporting Hood Positioning Devices (HPD).

Flextraction has installed in each of six welding bays 2m standard telescopic HPDs, with black polyester coated 100mm diameter PVC 371 hoses with a coated mild steel 100mm diameter flared hood and mesh guard. Each HPD was supplied fully assembled with wall mounting bracket, control damper and with no internal components. Each bay was also fitted with an electronic airflow indicator attached to each hood to monitor the extraction air flow.

Flextraction also made and installed spiral galvanised sheet steel ductwork to safely extract welding fumes and dust from the welding bays to a point outside the building.
