26 FUME EXTRACTION
Extraction units launched
Developed for professional welders and
yet affordable for newcomers: The new
SmartFil extraction unit from KEMPER
sets a new standard in mobile welding fume
extraction for regular welding. Even in the
basic version, it is the price/performance
winner in its device class. At comparable price
level, the SmartFil offers twice the filter surface
and thus a significantly longer service life
compared with similar systems. An even larger
replacement filter and other accessories enable
welders to further upgrade the extraction unit.
Equipped for the first time with a round filter
insert in this device class, KEMPER has also
optimised the design to create a more
attractive, rounded appearance.
The more different the hazard potential, the
more different the necessary welding fume
extraction: Which extraction unit is suitable for
an individual welding application depends on
both the duration of use and the amount of
welding fumes produced. "Our SmartFil now
provides an extraction unit for a wide range of
hazard intensities – and at the best
price/performance ratio", emphasises Björn
Kemper, CEO of KEMPER GmbH.
Service life twice as long as
comparable models
The new extraction unit is available at a
comparable price level to other industrial
entry-level models but has by far the largest
storage filter. At 25 square metres, the filter
surface is in some cases twice as large as
similar models. This means that even with the
basic SmartFil equipment, welders achieve a
significantly longer service life compared to
conventional models.
And that’s not all: Welders can further
upgrade the SmartFil with optional accessories
if required. The choice for the replacement
filter is between the 25 square meter standard
filter or a storage filter with a filter surface of
42 square meters that again extends the
service life accordingly. In addition, the
SmartFil can be optionally equipped with an
automatic start/stop system and LED
workplace lighting in the extraction hood.
Fit for the future by upgrading
with KEMPER innovations
While the optimised design of the extraction
hood in the original equipment already makes
less tracking necessary, the new KEMPER
extraction hood available at the end of the
year in the extended version in combination
with the new 180 millimeter extraction arm
ensures an even higher capture rate. The
SmartFil is already designed for these
additional accessories: KEMPERbeats, a
Bluetooth loudspeaker for playing your own
music, an LED strip and the integrated volume
flow monitoring also make welding work even
safer and more pleasant.
Round instead of square:
SmartFil with a new design
KEMPER is also setting new standards in
terms of design with the SmartFil. Like many
comparable models, the extraction unit is no
longer square but round. This is possible
because – for the first time in this device class
– KEMPER has integrated a round storage
filter. As part of the housing, welders can
easily remove this SafeChangeFilter from the
extraction unit. This means that its disposal is
completely contamination free.
Thanks to its mobility and the 360-degree
rotating exhaust hood, the compact system
can be used flexibly at changing workplaces.
Welders gain greater reach by integrating
longer extraction arms of up to four meters in
a pipe or flexible hose version. The SmartFil
filters more than 99.5 percent of alveolar dust
particles.
