Fresh Air By Design - At Flextraction, we manufacture and provide a range of welding air filtration systems and welding fume extraction filters, in order for your business to provide the safest working environment for your staff within the vicinity of a welding process. The extraction of welding fumes is essential to the health and well being of the welder, even if the operation is being carried out only for short periods.

Select from the products below, or for more advice on these or other products within our range please contact our team on 01664 410 641 and they will be happy to assist you.

Why is Welding Fume Extraction so important?

Welding fume is subject to COSHH regulations

The fume created by welding and hot cutting processes is a varying mixture of hazardous airborne gases and very fine particles. Exposure to such gases increases the risk of lung-related illnesses, some of which can be fatal eg. asthma, lung ulcers, pneumonia and even cancer.

The installation of a correctly designed welding air filtration system used in accordance with the operating instructions ensures that welding fumes are extracted direct at source, creating a safer environment for all workers and staff in your business.

At Flextraction, we offer efficient local exhaust ventilation (LEV) to help your business reach HSE standard HSG258 and protect your workplace with a range of welding extraction arms, units and benches.

HPD Welding Fume Extraction Arms

What are the benefits of an extraction arm for welding fume?

Flextraction have our own bespoke range of welding fume extraction arms (HPDs), with varying lengths, diameters and mounting options designed for the safe extraction of pollutants at source.

Our engineering expertise has developed the Hood Positioning Device, an elevated version of a standard extraction arm, with purpose-designed hoods able to be positioned wherever the welding process demands. Our arms have no internal components, avoiding wear, corrosion and airflow restrictions.

There are three main HPDs available:

Articulated : available in 4 standard lengths, with extensions available up to 8m.
Telescopic : length varying from 1.2m-1.65m depending upon its extended position.
Mini : scaled down version of the articulated HPD, ideal for smaller working spaces - available in either 1m or 1.5m

Our HPDs are available in multiple diameters:

75mm, 100mm , 125mm diameter (available to mini arms)
160mm, 200mm diameter (available to articulated/telescopic arms only)
