Focus on Welding - Rid Your Facility of Harmful Contaminants Generated in Welding Processes - White Paper

BREATHE EASY...Solutions for Clean, Safe Air

Overexposure to weld smoke and fumes can cause a wide range of health problems:

  • Acute exposure to welding fume and gases can result in eye, nose and throat irritation, dizziness and nausea. 
  • Prolonged exposure to welding fume may cause lung damage and various types of cancer, including lung, larynx and urinary tract. 
  • Health effects from certain fumes may include metal fume fever, stomach ulcers, kidney damage and nervous system damage.  Prolonged exposure to manganese fume can cause Parkinson's-like symptoms

Read the white paper Focus on Welding for more information regarding contaminants and their health effects, and how to reduce those respirable contaminants to within OSHA/NFPA PEL limits.  It is imperative to follow OSHA exposure guidelines for these contaminants, particularly where workers are at risk for long-term health effects. 

One method of controlling harmful contaminants in a welding process is Micro Air's XA23M Downdraft TAble.  Flexibility is key with Micro Air's XA23M Downdraft Table with 4 diameter source capture arm, offering multiple methods of weld smoke and fume capture thus providing the ability to tailor capture method to each particular job. Downdraft table with SCA arm combo effectively captures Weld Smoke and Fumes leaving breathing and vision zones free of harmful contaminants.

A large Tier 1 automotive supplier had 120 Robotic Welders and additional material conveying lines, producing finished goods from oily, stamped parts. A competitor's equipment was originally specified for a very large central system, but due to past successes with Micro Air’s Roto-Pulse® filter cleaning system, in different applications within the same company, the customer wanted to use Micro Air’s line of RP Series dust collectors on this project. Because welding was done in various cells or segregated work-spaces, Micro Air's Engineered Systems Distributor in the area, proposed eliminating the larger central dust collector system and installing 22 smaller RP8-2(16 cartridge) dust collectors inside the facility, directly above or near the manufacturing processes. This eliminated the need for costly ductwork, added more flexibility for future changes in plant layout, and allowed for easier maintenance and filter change-outs. Each RP8-2 cleaned the smoke and dust from 4 Robotic Welders and multiple material transfer lines and incorporated two of Micro Air’s SA4000 spark arrestors. The decision to buy Micro Air equipment was based largely on the filter cleaning capabilities of the Roto-Pulse® system, a track record of delivering what was promised, custom designed products to meet the customer’s specific needs, less maintenance, increased production capabilities, and the overall value of the proposed systems.
