In this blog we’ll explain why you need one of our MF or MF ECO mobile welding fume extractor units to accompany your busy welding or grinding workstation.
By now, you should be aware of the risks to employee health that exposure to welding fume causes. With various toxic substances that can be respired easily be workers and bystanders alike, there’s good ethical, not to mention, legal reason to protect everyone in your workplace from these airborne dangers.
Not all working environments are the same. A fixed fume extractor unit is useful and well suited to areas where welding and “hot work” is carried out in the same area as a regular occurrence.
This means that there is no set-up required- it’s there and ready for when you need it. A fixed extraction system unit may also offer the greater vacuum power required to provide extraction at multiple workstations simultaneously.
Protecting your workforce from the hazards of weld fume is a universal requirement regardless of company size, industry, employee size, turnover, frequency of exposure, or any other variable.
A mobile welding fume extractor unit, therefore, is more suited to employers who need to effectively protect their workforce, however, operate out of smaller workshops, or those requiring fume extraction on a less regular basis, or where welding is carried out in multiple locations throughout a site, rendering a fixed solution unsuitable.
Our MF and MF ECO fume extraction units offer the perfect solution for safety-conscious employers who want to protect their workforce from the dangers of grinding and weld fume, without having to find space for a dedicated fixed extraction system, or shell out for the heftier price tag.
Here’s why you’ll love our MF and MF ECO Welding Fume Extraction Units.
There are various circumstances where a smaller, more portable extraction system is ideal.
For example, you may operate out of a smaller workshop, which carries out a variety of tasks – a local garage, for example. In this situation, you don’t want a cumbersome extraction system taking up valuable floor space and getting in the way.
You want a system that can be quickly moved to the work area and set up to ensure maximum fume extraction- then, when the task is completed, moved out of the way, allowing you to get back to the other tasks at hand. Our MF and MF ECO extraction systems offer this functionality.
Similarly, yet by contrast, you may work out of a larger premises, such as a manufacturing or industrial plant. Breakdowns are an inevitable fact of operational life, and often require machinery repairs to be made in situ. In this situation a fixed fume extraction unit is useless- you need a portable solution that you can transport easily to the work area, allowing workers to carry out the repairs required, while remaining as protected as they would be if working from a dedicated hot work area. Once again, this is where our MF and MF ECO extraction units shine.
When you’re busily working to achieve operational productivity or output targets, the last thing you need is an additional system or equipment that requires extensive setup and preparation before it can be used – especially if you’re reliant on such systems to make critical repairs.
That’s why our MF and MF ECO welding fume extraction systems are so popular among the busiest of work environments: they’re delivered fully assembled and are ready to be used straight out of the box. No time-consuming set up or testing, wiring into switchgear or connecting to ducting – just position, plug in, and go.
Furthermore, our mobile fume extraction systems offer a low-maintenance alternative to their fixed or integrated counterparts; with fewer components and less ducting there’s simply less to go wrong!
All you need to do is the usual pre-use checks, filter replacements, and periodic inspections to maintain legal compliance, and you’re all set.
This reduced maintenance requirement means not only will your workplace be safe and ready more often, but your overall running costs will be lower too, as a result of reduced maintenance requirements, reduced consumables and longer service intervals.
Another delay that you don’t need is waiting for paperwork.
So many systems, particularly larger scale, need an extensive commissioning process, employee training, familliarisation programme, and final report, prior to their being used “in anger.”
Waiting for these steps to be fulfilled can take valuable time and delay a project or exceed a deadline.
Thankfully our MF and MF ECO welding fume extraction systems come pre-assembled and delivered WITH the commissioning certificate – certifying that they are safe and ready for use from day one.
So, while you may be waiting for crucial work instructions, raw material replenishments, or critical component spares – you won’t be waiting for your extraction system to be ready for use.
Here’s what you can expect from our MF-ECO Welding fume extraction units:
Our MF and MF ECO fume extraction systems are the perfect solution for anyone looking to protect their workers from the dangers of welding and grinding fumes – but don’t need a full-scale fixed unit that takes up valuable floor space and comes with a hefty price tag.
If you need a quick solution to protecting your workforce and also remaining legally compliant, our MF and MF ECO welding fume extraction units are the best solution.
