Capital goods and machinery sector

In the capital goods and machinery sector, components such as frames, gears, engines, and hydraulic systems are manufactured from materials like steel, aluminum, and technical plastics.

This can involve processes such as cutting, machining, forming, welding, and molding. Critical parts, such as housings or drive shafts, are often produced with high precision to ensure the reliability of the machines.

Once the components are manufactured, they are assembled to form complete machines. Assembly may take place on partially automated production lines, but often requires manual intervention for adjustments, fastening of parts, and installation of electrical or hydraulic systems.

The machinery and capital goods manufacturing industry combines serial production with the ability to create custom solutions to meet the diverse needs of its clients.

Automation, particularly through the use of robots for tasks such as welding, plays a key role in production, increasing both precision and efficiency. Robots enable precise and repetitive welds, which are essential for ensuring the strength and durability of machines.

However, a significant portion of the industry is also dedicated to custom manufacturing, where machines are designed and built according to the exact specifications of the customer. This is especially common in sectors where machines must be tailored to specific processes, such as the production of highly specialized goods or unique industrial projects.

Despite automation, manual welding remains crucial in this industry, particularly for custom work or complex parts that require human expertise. Skilled welders are often involved in specific assemblies or finishing work, where manual control is necessary to ensure weld quality in non-standard configurations.

Regardless of the applications, processes, and welding methods used, it is essential to protect welders and workshop operators from the hazards of welding fumes. That is why we offer a wide range of extraction solutions designed to capture fumes as close as possible to the source, protecting workers’ health.

Before making any recommendations, it is necessary to conduct an on-site visit to your welding workshops to understand your environment and requirements. This enables our teams to advise you on the most suitable welding fume extraction solution for your company.
