Welding fume extraction
Extraction of smoke at the point of origin
During the processing of metals, such as welding and cutting, fumes are produced that are classified as hazardous substances. These include substances that are classified as carcinogenic. For example, fumes containing chromium-nickel, which are produced when welding stainless steel.
For example, fumes containing chromium-nickel, which are produced when welding stainless steel.
Our product range extends from central, stationary extraction and filter systems for small to very high air volumes in medium-vacuum operation in combination with extraction arms and extraction bonnets, to high-vacuum systems in combination with burner extraction nozzles, to flexible mobile units with W3 certification.
For safe and energy-saving air recirculation, it is often also necessary to use a heat recovery system, which is also part of our product range.
With the right welding fume extraction system from VALCO, you can efficiently achieve a clean, pleasant working environment and meet the official requirements. In addition, our systems are energy-efficient and require very little maintenance due to long filter service lives.

When equipping several welding workplaces, e.g. with welding booths in welding schools, stationary medium vacuum systems are often used. This system can extract at all workplaces if necessary. By using a frequency converter on the blower, the suction power can be adjusted automatically.
The welding fumes are collected with flexible extraction arms to achieve spot extraction. Only through spot extraction can sufficient welding fume extraction be achieved. This means that the air can be cleaned more effectively with a lower volume flow so that pleasant working is possible and so that official workplace limits can be met. A hall air cleaning system can be used as a supporting measure.
Our welding detection elements at a glance
Extraction arms
Thanks to their flexibility, extraction arms enable effective extraction at the point of origin. With arm lengths of up to 11 metres, extraction is also possible with large workpieces.
Extraction hoods
When point extraction is hardly possible, our extraction bonnets are used. Large-area extraction bonnets above the point of origin effectively capture the welding fumes through the movement of warm air.
Torch extraction MAPAS
Our specially developed and patented torch extraction system MAPAS for manual welding is an efficient retrofit system for welding torches.
Suction tables
Our extraction tables are an effective solution for both welding and grinding work. They also provide an ergonomic working position for your employees. They also provide an ergonomic working position for your employees.
Extraction cabins
Custom-built booths with integrated extraction allow complete isolation of welding fumes, protect against cross currents and also provide visual protection from electric arcs.
Robot extraction system ROPAS
The ROPAS welding robot extraction system offers efficient collection directly at the torch for all commercially available robots. As the extraction at the torch is very effective, often no secondary
suction element is often not required.

Extraction at the torch
Even more efficient is the collection of welding fumes directly at the torch and the use of powerful high-vacuum blowers. For this we use our proven, patented extraction nozzles, System-Stauffer. In this segment, we are the only manufacturer worldwide to offer individually shaped suction nozzles for the most common robot, machine and manual welding guns on the market. In close cooperation with robot, welding gun and suction device manufacturers, we constantly adapt our components to the state of the art.
MAPAS
MAPAS, the economical extraction system for retrofitting, extracts the smoke where it is produced, at the welder’s gun.
