WELDING FUME EXHAUSTERS
Capture welding
fumes at the source. Ruemelin fume exhausters capture and remove
toxic welding fumes before they pass through the welder's breathing zone
and contaminate the surrounding air. And whether you use arc, MIG,
TIG, spot, plasma or other methods, Ruemelin's "source
capture" ventilation is a real cost saver because it exhausts smaller volumes
of heated and air conditioned shop air than general ventilation or other
systems. This helps to keep your heating and cooling costs down.
High-volume, full
range exhausting. A powerful fan draws fumes within the capture
zone of the cone inlet hood into the exhauster hose, exhausting outdoors
or into an air cleaning unit if desirable and/or permissible. The
5-inch units exhaust 1,000 CFM, with static pressures ranging from 5 to
10 inches depending upon the duct work. This is enough suction to
hold a welder's helmet in the cone while leaving the vital shield gases
undisturbed.
Put it where the
job is...it stays. The non-conductive, non-sparking, fire-retardant
fiberglass cone inlet hood quickly and easily adjusts to any welding zone
-- and Ruemelin's unique counterbalance system holds it there. No
locking devices are needed. Double, heavy-duty compression
springs, mounted on a cast iron friction disc, steel support tubing and
tension rods keep the cone inlet hood stable in all positions.
