ELIMINATE HARMFUL WELDING FUMES. PROTECT YOUR PEOPLE.

WELDING FUMES EXTRACTORS

Breathe safe. Meet OSHA standards.

Weld with clarity. Depureco extractors remove toxic particles with HEPA-level efficiency, safeguarding your people and your productivity.

WELDING FUMES EXTRACTORS

MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY AT THE SOURCE.

Our extractors capture hazardous smoke directly at the welding arc—the most effective method for protecting your operator. Gain precise control with remote operation and adjustable suction power for a perfectly clean work zone.

PROTECT WORKER HEALTH & ENSURE OSHA COMPLIANCE

Safeguard your team from toxic hexavalent chromium, manganese oxides, and particulate matter.

Our HEPA-grade filtration captures over 99% of hazardous fumes, reducing the risk of respiratory illness and helping you meet strict OSHA (CFR 1910.252) and NIOSH safety standards.

BOOST WELD QUALITY & PRODUCTIVITY

Eliminate the smoke that obscures your weld puddle.

By providing a clear line of sight to the arc, our extractors enable greater precision, fewer reworks, and higher quality welds. Welders work faster and more confidently in a cleaner environment.

SLASH FACILITY MAINTENANCE & COSTS

Prevent abrasive, conductive metal dust from contaminating your entire shop.

By capturing fumes at the source, you drastically reduce cleanup time, protect sensitive machinery from damage, and extend the life of your HVAC systems—leading to significant long-term savings.

Fume Extractor FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about selecting and maintaining industrial welding fume extractors.

Source capture is the most effective and efficient method. It captures toxic fumes directly at the welding arc before they ever reach the welder’s breathing zone. This includes torch-mounted extractors and extraction arms positioned close to the work.

Yes. Our extractors are engineered to help you meet and exceed OSHA standards (CFR 1910.252) for permissible exposure limits (PELs) to hazardous metals like hexavalent chromium and manganese by removing them from the air with HEPA-grade filtration.
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including the hazardous metallic fumes and fine particulate matter generated by welding. This level of filtration is critical for protecting worker health.
Consider your primary welding process (MIG, TIG, Stick), material (stainless steel, galvanized), shop size, and mobility needs. For dedicated stations, choose source capture. For flexibility around the shop, a mobile unit is ideal. Contact our experts for a personalized recommendation.
Filter life depends on usage. With our large filter surface area, main filters typically last 6-12 months in average use. Easy-access design makes pre-filter changes quick and maintenance minimal. Our systems include filter condition indicators.

An industrial fume extractor provides a rapid ROI, often in under 24 months, by directly impacting your bottom line:

  • Reduced Liability & Insurance Costs: Proactive compliance reduces the risk of OSHA fines and potential lawsuits from worker health issues.
  • Increased Productivity: Cleaner air leads to better visibility, fewer reworks, and less downtime for welders. This can boost productivity by 15% or more.
  • Lower Facility Maintenance: Capturing dust at the source drastically reduces the buildup of abrasive particulate on machinery, electronics, and HVAC systems, extending their lifespan and reducing cleaning costs.
  • Employee Retention: Investing in safety improves morale and reduces absenteeism and turnover, which are significant hidden costs.

Integration is straightforward. Our solutions are designed for minimal disruption:

  • Mobile Units (AIR WELD Series): Require no installation. Simply roll them into position, plug into a standard 120V outlet, and they are operational.
  • Source Capture (XM TORCH Series): Designed to integrate directly with your existing MIG guns or workstations. Our team can provide guidance on hose routing and setup for optimal performance.
  • Space & Power: Our systems are engineered to be compact and energy-efficient. We provide clear specifications on footprint and electrical requirements (120V or 240V) to simplify planning.

We offer free layout consultation to ensure a seamless integration with your current workflow.

Absolutely. We provide scalable solutions to match your growth:

  • Start with Portability: Begin with mobile units for flexibility. As you add more stations, you can easily add more units.
  • Plan for Dedication: As workstations become permanent, transition to dedicated source capture extractors for maximum efficiency at each cell.
  • Enterprise Solutions: For large-scale operations or robotic welding cells, we can design and quote customized centralized extraction systems that handle multiple stations from a single, powerful unit.

Our experts can help you design a phased implementation plan that aligns with your business growth and budget.
