Welding Dust and Fume Extraction

Welding shops typically have workstation utilisation significantly below 100%. By using Ecogate for your welding dust and fume extraction you could achieve savings of up to 80% on your dust extraction costs.

Maintaining minimal airflow is not necessary in welding shops which allows for even more substantial energy savings.

The Ecogate system successfully provides dust extraction for welding workshops of any size. From automated factories to independent welding shops, we have a solution to suit the size of your establishment.

How Can Ecogate Improve Your Welding Ventilation?

Traditionally welding ventilation systems are inefficient with a large amount of energy waste. So how exactly does the Ecogate system help you improve welding dust and fume extraction?

It all starts with the Ecogate sensors, installed at each workstation telling the greenBOX control unit that the machine is on. This signals to the automatic blast gates to open up providing instant suction. To further eliminate wasted energy, the Powermaster Variable Frequency Drive adjusts the fan speed to match the machine’s requirements.

Ecogate is more intuitive than other welding fume extraction systems due to its scalability. With the biggest greenBOX unit you can manage up to 180 workstations, meaning your Ecogate system can be tailored to your operations.

Ben Waters, Group Operations Director at HSL

“To exert some control over extraction usage, ductwork connections to each of the traditional machines had previously been fitted with individual, manually-operated dampers but, with the best will in the world, manual operation could never match the efficiency of Ecogate’s computer-controlled, on-demand extraction system.”
