Is it possible to weld optimally with extraction torches? In the past, they were often considered unwieldy due to the additional extraction elements on the torch, but this image is changing. Based on convincing test experiences, Aebi Schmidt Nederland B.V. decided in favor of a torch-integrated high-vacuum extraction system. Several VacuFil systems from KEMPER are now essential components of the new air pollution control concept at the Dutch manufacturer.
The quality of the hall air was already at an acceptable level, but as a rule, it always tended to be very close to the maximum legal provisions. This was clearly not good enough for Aebi Schmidt Nederland B.V. with regard to the health of its employees. It is true that, in an international comparison, the Netherlands already has one of the lowest workplace exposure limits for production plants. However, the company – located in Holten in the eastern part of the country – wanted to improve the air quality in order to push the concentration of hazardous substances even further below the prescribed limit of 1 mg/m³, particularly in the welding shop.
