Nederman: The most efficient weld fume extraction

In modern manufacturing, clean air is as vital as the quality of your weld.

With rising awareness around occupational health and stricter regulations, businesses can no longer afford to overlook the dangers of weld fume exposure.

At Nederman, we deliver best-in-class fume extraction systems that not only protect your people, but also your productivity and product quality.

The Hidden Risk in Welding

Welding fumes are more than just a nuisance, they're a real threat. The fumes generated during welding contain hazardous substances such as:

• Arsenic
• Chromium
• Manganese
• Lead
• Nickel

Long-term exposure to these metal oxides can result in serious health issues, including respiratory illnesses, skin and eye irritation, neurological disorders, and even cancer. Beyond health risks, weld fumes can contaminate work surfaces and compromise product integrity, leading to increased rework, defects, and operational downtime.

The Most Efficient Way to Control Weld Fumes

Efficient fume extraction is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It requires understanding your processes, your environment, and your people. Here’s what we recommend:

• Choose the right extraction system
  Tailor the solution to your welding type (MIG, TIG, Stick, etc.), materials, and layout. Nederman offers both portable and stationary extractors to suit workshops of all sizes,  from small repair shops to multi-bay fabrication plants.
• Focus on filtration performance
  Our advanced Nanofiber filter technology ensures maximum filtration efficiency, capturing even the finest and most hazardous particles. These filters last longer, collect more, and help maintain a cleaner, safer workspace.
• Make education part of the package
  Even the best equipment won’t work unless it’s used properly. That’s why Nederman includes operator training, process integration guidance, and ongoing system maintenance support. We help you embed clean air into your culture, not just your equipment.
• Commit to total lifecycle support
  From initial consultation and design to installation, commissioning, and service, we deliver turnkey solutions backed by local expertise and global experience.
