Nuisances while performing welding jobs?
Because welding processes often generate sparks, glares and fumes, a safe and nuisance-free workplace is of utmost importance.
For 3 seasons now, the Tacoma FD TV show has been using Plymovent vehicle exhaust extraction systems on their set and is happy to share their great experiences in a newly produced Public Service Announcement (PSA).
Extracting and filtering polluted air has been the expertise of Plymovent for over 45 years. As a result of the growing demand for solutions for clean air at work Plymovent expanded its headquarters in Alkmaar, the Netherlands.
Sustainability is one of the key pillars of the Plymovent vision, mission and strategy. In the past years, we have taken several initiatives to comply with this principle.
At-source extraction protects workers in the metal industry and prevents the accumulation of welding fumes, oil mist or grinding dust in the workspace. The use of flexible extraction arms is a good method of removing dangerous fumes and dust when working on small or medium sized objects. These arms can be positioned close to the work area to capture toxic fumes, dust particles and remains of molten metal at the source. Capturing fumes and dust at the source also prevents pollution from spreading over the premises, keeping not only machines and tools but also products and offices cleaner.
In previous blogs we have written about protection methods for welders, like extraction arms or hoods for local exhaust ventilation and welding helmets with PAPR units. When you provide your workers with protection equipment, you may think that you have taken the necessary steps to ensure their safety. But how can you be certain that the equipment is working as it should and your workers are not exposed to dangerous levels of carcinogenic fumes?
Plymovent has a strong focus on innovative product development, by developing solutions for clean air at work that are ahead of the curve or add more bang for the buck.
Plymovent recently opened a new production facility in Thailand. Since sustainability is one of Plymovent's spearhead policies, it was decided to install solar panels on the roof. Solar energy uses the world's biggest source of free energy: the sun.
