FUME EXTRACTION 33
the hose diameter to 180 millimetres increases the extraction
performance by 30 percent and the capture rate by a further 20
percent compared to the previous KEMPER extraction hood. Due to
its flange-shaped design, this hood already achieved capture rates up
to 40 percent higher than conventional solutions. Welders now have
to reposition the new extraction hood even less frequently. "20 years
after developing our extraction hood – which is still unique today, we
are setting new standards in welding fume extraction with our new
development", emphasises Kemper.
The new extraction hood can be rotated 360 degrees and is easy to
operate by hand, even with gloves on. Integrated above the extraction
area rather than in the air flow, an energy-saving LED strip provides
welders with an optimum view of the workpiece. The new bayonet
lock for connecting the extraction hose ensures an effective seal and
quick fitting. The new function of extraction volume measurement in
the hood directly at the point of origin safeguards companies now for
future legal standards. The new development will be available from
the end of the first quarter of 2020.
Pioneering new developments
The response at Blechexpo was clear: In conjunction with
KEMPERbeats, visitors saw the new KEMPER hood as a pioneering
new development. At the same time, KEMPER presented other
product solutions – especially in the field of spot extraction. In the
case of the torch-integrated extraction system of the new VacuFil
family, the automatic adjustment of the extraction capacity on the
basis of various torch features attracted great attention.
In the field of mobile extraction units, the new SmartFil with a 25
m 2 storage filter provides effective occupational safety at favourable
conditions. The new WallMaster offers an easy-to-retrofit, wallmounted
filter solution for existing exhaust air solutions.
