For welding operations, Lincoln Electric offers weld-fume-extraction solutions for a variety of applications and fabrication environments. An alternative concept in shop fume extraction systems, Push Pull environmental systems are suitable for: manufacturing and fabrication applications where fume extraction at the source is difficult; fabrication of especially large work pieces; shops that utilise robotic and hard automation welding fixtures; and manufacturing where welding work cell locations change.A Push Pull system captures shop air and welding fume within a given perimeter, filters it, then pushes the filtered air back into the working air in the same area. This method reduces energy costs, as the heated or cooled air from the shop is circulated back into the manufacturing location rather than exhausted outdoors. Lincoln Electric systems are able to filter only the immediate work area.
A Push Pull system is a general ventilation solution, which can be used to supplement targeted control of welding fume at the arc. Push Pull systems are intended for use when the goal is to improve general indoor air quality. A complete range of welding-fume solutions, including equipment intended for use specifically at the source, is also offered by Lincoln Electric.
