Why choose an extraction slit nozzle instead of an extraction hood?

During welding, effectively extracting welding fumes is a major challenge for operators health and regulatory compliance. Unlike an extraction hood, chose effectiveness is limited by distance and air movement, laminar slit nozzle stops fumes immediately after they are generated, reducing their dispersion within the workshop and welders’ exposure. How does the extraction slit nozzle helps […]

CERAMAR, a ceramic spray to protect gas nozzles

CERAMAR is a ceramic protective spray for the gas nozzles of fume extraction torches. When sprayed onto the gas nozzle, a white ceramic varnish film is formed to prevent nozzle cracking and overheating. CERAMAR prevents spatter build-up and increases the service life of consumables by up to 5 to 10 times. What are the main […]

How to protect welders from Hexavalent Chromium (Chrome VI) in Welding Fumes

During welding, operators are exposed to many gases and harmful particles, including Hexavalent Chromium, a substance classified as a known carcinogen. To limit risks, an extraction of welding fumes at source is currently the most effective solution. ENGMAR supports industries in implementing efficient extraction systems tailored to each workstation. How is Chromium VI formed during […]

Industrial Ventilation: 3 essential principles you need to know

In a welding plant, ventilation is essential in ensuring operators’ safety and protecting their health. Here are the 3 main principles of ventilation : According to these three principles, there are 2 main types of ventilation. “Local” ventilation, also known as extraction at source  Pollutants are extracted as close as possible to their emission source by […]

Discover our new MIG/MAG 240 extraction torch!

Welding generates fumes and gases that are harmful for welders’ health, and for the air quality in the workshop. The extraction torche is the most efficient solution to extract welding fumes directly at source, and thus preventing their dispersion into the work environment. We introduce you today ENGMAR new release: the 240 extraction torch. Technical […]

Welding health and safety: Australian regulations

In order to manage risk under the WHS Regulations 32-38, a duty holder must: Local exhaust ventilation systems should be designed to provide a minimum capture velocity at the fume source of 0.5m/second away from the welder. Inlets and outlets should be kept clear at all times. Air from a local exhaust ventilation system should […]
