Filter tower for welding fumes
Filter tower for welding fumes instead of central hall extraction?
Filter towers are central extraction units for welding fume extraction that are placed freely in the hall without a pipe system. They can be used as an alternative to a hall extraction system and are characterized by their high suction power and quick commissioning thanks to plug & play. Due to its thermal properties, the warm welding fumes rise to the hall ceiling and are captured at the top of the filter tower by an intake grille. The air containing fume passes through several filter stages and is returned to the hall at floor level, cleaned and free of drafts.
When are filter towers for welding fumes used?
- For welding processes where spot extraction is not sufficient or practicable
- In case of high smoke emission
- Employee health protection
- For large workpieces
- Compliance with dust limit values TRGS 528
- Compliance with occupational health and safety regulations ArbStättV § 3a
- Simultaneous welding at several workstations
- Constant indoor air quality & air pollution control

Proven layered ventilation principle
This principle is a proven technology for production halls and is recommended by the IFA. The contaminated air is extracted near the hall ceiling, cleaned in a filter tower and fed back into the hall near the floor without draughts. The clean air layer on the floor and the warm air containing welding fumes on the hall ceiling mix automatically due to air currents as well as the thermals of the rising welding fumes. The unit should be positioned in the center of the room or close to the sources of dust. This ensures optimal compliance with dust limits and constant improvement of the indoor air quality.
