Fume Extraction

Many industrial facilities need fume extraction, as a lot of industrial processes produce noxious fumes. A high-quality fume extraction system will reduce exposure levels to your employees to protect their health and wellbeing, without disrupting their daily tasks and activities.

Airmatic have the knowledge and the expertise to design, build and install a high-efficiency LEV system to remove all types of industrial fumes, either venting clean air to the outside or returning it to the factory.

The impact

The airborne residue created by solvents, paint and welding bay fumes can have a dangerous impact on those on-site and in close proximity. Effects range from mild symptoms, such as watery eyes and a runny nose, to more serious, long-term health issues – including chest tightening, breathlessness, and chronic effects on the central nervous system.  Using a fume extraction system, these negative impacts can be prevented.

Benefits of a fume extraction system

  • Provides a steady circulation of fresh clean air in the workplace
  • Improves health and wellbeing on-site, contributing to increased productivity
  • Better controls and minimises workplace hazards
  • Compliance with HSE regulations and guidelines

HSE Guidelines

Fume extraction and the law

All employers have a duty to protect the health of their employees. So any process that gives off fumes, dust, gases or vapours should normally be equipped with air extraction to protect them. 

Facilities without adequate LEV for fume extraction can be prosecuted by HSE and may invalidate their insurance.

Solvent

Certain industries, such as engineering, chemicals, construction, vehicle re-finishing, and printing, are more likely to be exposed to harmful solvent fumes with their inherent risks of explosion and fire.

Solvent fumes are often colourless, strong in scent, and created during curing and cleaning industrial processes. Exposure to solvent fumes must be avoided at all times – with the most efficient solution being a fully functional fume extraction system.

paint

Almost all paints contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can cause both short- and long-term health effects.

Although many industries now use low-VOC, water-based products, solvent-based paints are still common due to their performance. Indoors, VOC levels can be up to ten times higher than outdoors.

Health risks include headaches, dizziness, memory issues, and kidney or liver damage. Our carbon-filtered fume extraction systems capture these harmful compounds, helping to protect workers and improve air quality.

Welding Bay

Welding bay fumes prrsent an array of issues that need to be considered in hazardous environments. The fumes produced from activities such as welding and hot cutting, release airborne gases – like nitrous oxide (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).

If used, these fine particles can create a cloud of metal, metal oxide and flux, kickstarting a series of negative effects on those in close proximity. With exposure leading to serious health conditions, such as pneumonia, or long-term illnesses such as asthma, it’s essential that business owners do everything they can to eliminate the risk.

Our purpose-built fume extraction systems ensure that these gases and fine particles do not get inhaled by those on-site or nearby.
