Welding
Elevating safety in every spark—our dust collection systems protect workers and enhance efficiency in welding environments.
Woodworking & Wood Manufacturing
From small hobby shops to large robotic manufacturing facilities, there is no industry we’ve worked on more projects than woodworking and wood manufacturing.

Overview
Welding is a critical process in manufacturing, construction, and metal fabrication, involving the fusion of materials through intense heat. This process generates various airborne contaminants, including welding fumes, metal dust, and gases. Whether using arc welding, MIG welding, TIG welding, or plasma cutting, welders are consistently exposed to hazardous particulates from materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized metals. Proper dust collection and fume extraction systems are essential to maintaining safety and air quality in welding environments.
Challenges & Considerations
Health Hazards: Welding fumes contain harmful substances such as hexavalent chromium, manganese, and cadmium, which pose serious respiratory risks.
Metal Particulates: Fine airborne metal dust can accumulate on equipment and work surfaces, leading to contamination and reduced efficiency.
Fire Risks: Combustible dust and sparks from welding activities increase the risk of workplace fires.
Equipment Longevity: Excessive exposure to airborne metal dust can shorten the lifespan of sensitive machinery and electronic components.
Nanofiber Cartridge
Our advanced nanofiber cartridge filters are rated for MERV 15, meaning it is capable of capturing up to 94% of dust particles sized from 0.3 to 1.0 microns. For reference the diameter of an average human hair follicle is 75 microns.
Spark Traps
Welding generates high-temperature sparks and molten metal particles that can travel through ductwork and ignite combustible dust or filter media inside a dust collector. Spark traps intercept and cool these particles before they reach the collector, significantly reducing the risk of fire or explosion.
Unlike active fire suppression systems, spark traps are mechanical devices with no moving parts or electrical components. This makes them highly reliable and easy to maintain. Once installed, they provide continuous protection without requiring frequent calibration or monitoring.
Source Capture vs General Ventilation
Source capture is the most effective method for dust and fume extraction, offering increased efficiency and allowing for a more compact overall system design. However, if your operations can’t support direct source capture—due to layout constraints, mobility needs, or process variability—we can assist in evaluating your facility’s air circulation rates and determining the appropriate system size to ensure optimal performance and compliance.
