Today, CNC machining centres, which are used in almost all sectors, especially in automotive, medical, defence industry, aviation, use coolant and lubricant fluids when machining metal. The high heat generated during machining causes these liquids to evaporate rapidly. Inhalation of these vapours is risky for health and they are forbidden to be discharged into the atmosphere.

For both human health and environmental cleanliness, safe filtering of welding fumes should be the priority agenda of every company engaged in welded manufacturing.

There are many substances harmful to health in the smoke generated during the welding process. Welding fume contains heavy metals. In welding and cutting processes, various gases are produced as a result of the combustion or evaporation of welding consumables, cutting fluid on the main material welded, residues such as oil, grease and coatings such as paint, galvanising with the effect of arc temperature.

To understand whether a central extraction / central filtration system is the right solution for industrial ventilation systems, the components must be considered in detail.

These are systems used to filter various fumes and dusts with a fan + filter group located inside or outside the working environment.

In engineering and applied physics, vacuum refers to any space in which the pressure is significantly less than atmospheric pressure.

Smoke is a dense collection of particles that is invisible to the eye and becomes visible as a thin layer. The fume generated during the welding process contains contaminant particles with an average diameter of 0.05 to 20 micrometres. The amount and type of welding fume generated depends on the welding parameters and base materials.

Are you unsure whether hazardous substances occur in your workplace? Substances and mixtures with one or more "hazardous properties" are called dangerous substances. Hazardous properties are, for example, toxic, corrosive, carcinogenic, highly flammable or dangerous for the environment.

Selecting components for the extraction and filtration of industrial pollutants such as welding fumes, metal dust, and similar substances requires a series of calculations. These calculations are often quite complex. In this article, we will attempt to explain them in their simplest form.
