10001171 - Diversitech Wall-Mount Fume Extractor with 10ft Arm

Industrial Source Capture for Modern Facilities

The Diversitech Wall Mounted Fume Extractor with 10FT Arm represents a strategic investment in facility air quality and operational efficiency. Designed for industrial environments where floor space is at a premium, this unit mounts securely to structural walls or columns, providing powerful source capture without obstructing traffic lanes or occupying valuable production square footage. By capturing welding fumes, grinding dust, and other airborne particulates directly at the source, this system prevents contaminants from dispersing into the general facility air, significantly reducing the load on ambient HVAC systems and ensuring compliance with stringent OSHA and environmental air quality standards.

At the core of this system is its high-performance filtration unit, engineered to handle the rigorous demands of continuous welding operations. The unit utilizes advanced filter media capable of trapping sub-micron particles, including hazardous metal oxides found in stainless steel and aluminum welding fumes. The inclusion of a 10-foot articulated extraction arm is a critical feature for versatile workflow management. This extended reach allows the operator to cover a large semi-circular work zone without needing to reposition the base unit or the workpiece. The arm is constructed with external joints, a design choice that minimizes internal airflow resistance and reduces static pressure drop, thereby maintaining higher capture velocities at the hood where it matters most.

Maintenance and durability are key considerations for facility managers. This Diversitech unit is built with heavy-gauge steel and a powder-coated finish to resist corrosion and wear in harsh shop environments. The filter change-out process is designed to be tool-free and rapid, minimizing downtime and ensuring that the system remains operational. Furthermore, the wall-mounted configuration protects the unit from accidental impact damage from forklifts or material handling equipment, a common issue with portable floor units. By integrating this extraction system, facilities can expect improved worker safety, reduced absenteeism related to respiratory issues, and a cleaner, more professional manufacturing environment.

Technical Efficiency and Compliance

Implementing source capture is the most effective method for controlling welding fumes. This unit is specifically designed to meet the needs of fabrication shops dealing with complex assemblies. The 10-foot arm features a rotatable hood with a handle, allowing for precise positioning to maximize the capture zone. The system's airflow is calibrated to provide sufficient face velocity to pull fumes away from the welder's breathing zone without disturbing shielding gas coverage, striking the perfect balance between safety and weld quality.
