Alkmaar (the Netherlands), January 2010 – In 2009, Euromate launched a unique extraction hood based entirely on modular components. With the new XL version, Euromate is meeting the latest demand for stretched extraction hoods up to 30 m². When extraction at source is impossible, extraction hoods may be the best way to extracting welding fumes at workshops.
In addition to many logistical advantages, the extraction hood’s extremely functional design makes it easy to install. The hood can be hung from the ceiling with its integrated hoisting eyes or mounted on aluminium legs. The XL version has extra corner reinforcement to guarantee a solid construction.
The spark-resistant welding strips are a significant accessory and can be used to isolate a working area. The high-quality strips are made of thermal plastic material and can be cut into specific sizes, according to your needs. The strips not only protect the welders inside, they can also protect people working nearby from the welding light, arc-eye and weld-flash. Furthermore, the welding strips keep other airflows – such as draughts – outside the extraction hood and prevent fumes from escaping the isolated area – thereby optimising the entire extraction system.
As extraction often takes place in the middle of an extraction hood, fumes easily escape on the sides. Euromate therefore developed an extraordinary side-extraction framework, optimising the airflow considerably. The XL version has extra extraction points in the cross profiles to guarantee optimum extraction in larger working areas. Thanks to the well designed deflector plate the risk of fire is reduced significantly; sparks are prevented from being sucked into the ductwork, effectively eliminating this well-known fire hazard.
The modular extraction hood of Euromate is available from 1.5 m² (1 x 1.5 m) up to 30 m² (5.5 x 5.5 m).
Euromate has been specialising in indoor air cleaning for more than 30 years, with industrial pollution and welding fumes being special areas of expertise. We know about the work, the discomforts and risks that welders face on a daily basis and what the air-cleaning aspects of that work entail.
