Steel furniture manufacturer MIG was
spot welding components using static
hoods in seven jig welding fabrication
bays extracting from above. The
company asked Flextraction to draw
the welding fumes away from their
welder’s faces, so that welding could
be carried out in a clean environment
and the extraction system wouldn’t
have to be adjusted for intricate
operations.

Flextraction fitted rear plenum
boxes with six louvered grills on the
back wall of each welding booth in
close proximity to the worktable, to
draw any welding fumes away from
the operator’s face and into a new
spiral galvanised sheet steel ductwork
system with inspection/access doors
and sized to provide good conveying
velocity throughout its length.
