The invisible danger: welding fumes and their effects
Welding fumes consist of a complex mixture of gases and fine particles produced during the welding process. Depending on their size, these can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause serious health problems.
- Respiratory diseases: Bronchitis, Asthma, Lung cancer
- Cardiovascular diseases: Heart attack, Stroke
- Nerve damage: Headaches, Dizziness, Concentration problems
- Skin irritation and allergies
The size of the particles is decisive:
- > 10 µm: Larger particles are usually caught in the upper respiratory tract (nasal mucous membranes and throat) and coughed up.
- 4.7 - 5.8 µm: Particles of this size reach the larynx.
- 3.3 - 4.7 µm: These particles enter the trachea and main bronchi.
- 1.1 - 3.3 µm: Secondary and tertiary bronchi are affected.
- < 1.1 µm: The smallest particles, so-called fine dust particles, can penetrate into the alveoli (pulmonary alveoli) where they can cause inflammation and long-term damage.
In addition, welding fumes can also affect the quality of your products by causing contamination and corrosion.
Effective extraction: protection for man and machine during welding
A professional extraction system, often equipped with a flexible extraction arm, removes harmful substances during welding directly at the source, preventing them from spreading into the working environment. This not only protects the health of your employees, but also creates a more pleasant and productive working atmosphere.
Modern welding fume extraction systems are characterised by the following features:
- High extraction performance: they capture welding fumes effectively and reliably, even for large welding jobs.
- Flexible application options: Both mobile welding fume extraction systems and stationary extraction systems can be used. This means they can be customised to your individual requirements.
- User-friendly operation: They are easy to install and maintain and enable intuitive control.
- Durable and robust construction: They are designed for use in demanding industrial environments and guarantee a long service life.
Welding and cutting: Extraction units and filter systems for clean air
The capture and separation of welding fumes is crucial for health protection in the workplace. Extraction units and filter systems play a central role here.
Extraction units ensure that that the welding fumes produced are captured and extracted directly at the source. This prevents harmful particles from being dispersed in the air and inhaled by employees. There are different types of extraction units, such as mobile extraction arms or stationary extraction bonnets, which can be selected according to requirements and area of application.
Filter devices clean the extracted air of harmful welding fume particles. Different filter technologies are used for this, such as HEPA filters or electrostatic precipitators. The choice of the right filter device depends on the type and quantity of welding fumes as well as the legal requirements.
The Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA) provides extensive information and recommendations on welding fume extraction. At TEKA you will find a large selection of ge tested and certified products, that comply with current technical regulations and standards.
