Product description
Lightweight MIG/MAG fume extraction torch xFUME® COMPACT
Welding thin sheets with fume extraction has never been that easy
Inconvenient extraction torches, which are also far too heavy and only allow a poor view of the welding process, are a thing of the past with the xFUME® COMPACT from ABICOR BINZEL. In thin sheet metal welding, such as the reworking of robot-manufactured components, process finishing or small repair and workshop tasks, health and safety at work are not neglected with this air cooled MIG/MAG fume extraction torch. Whoever has used this welding fume extraction torch once will never want to work with another one – it fits so well in the hand, the view of the seam to be welded is excellent and it absorbs the welding fumes efficiently with optimum shielding gas coverage.
Extraction at the source with the xFUME® COMPACT
Occupational safety during welding must be just as important as good seam quality and a satisfying result for the customer. Good workplace conditions for welders therefore include lightweight, practical and reliably functioning welding torches as well as a fume extraction system that absorbs harmful welding fumes in the best possible way. Extraction at the source of welding fumes is the system expressly recommended by the German Ordinance on Hazardous Substances (Gefahrenstoffverordnung – GefStoffV) in DIN EN ISO 15012-1 Annex I No. 2 – particulate hazardous substances – because this technology absorbs between 90 % and 99 % of the resulting fumes, depending on the torch position, and up to 99.95 % of all dust particles > 0.1 µm are filtered out of the welding fumes.
The fume extraction torch xFUME® COMPACT in combination with a mobile fume extraction unit such as the xFUME® ADVANCED, the FES-200 W3 or the FEC W3 from ABICOR BINZEL offers an ideal system solution for the extraction of welding fumes during air cooled MIG welding or MAG welding.
Extraction at the source works with high vacuum systems. With this technology a low volume flow at high negative pressure flows with high static pressure and high flow rate of the extracted fumes. The harmful welding fumes are collected with an extraction nozzle at the front end of the extraction torch and thus directly at the point of origin, guided into the mobile extraction unit, where they are collected and filtered. The cleaned air is released back into the environment.
Features of the xFUME® COMPACT fume extraction torch
Where thin sheets up to 250 amperes is welded and fume extraction at the source is required, the xFUME® COMPACT is simply the best choice. This fume extraction torch from ABICOR BINZEL is ideal for manual rework after a robot production line, light welding work in process finishing, minor repairs or welding work in the workshop.
Due to their design, extraction torches tend to be considered unhandy and heavy for welding fume extraction, but the xFUME® COMPACT surprises at first sight with its slim design. Once taken in hand and operated, this fume extraction torch will quickly become a favorite welding tool.
