Energy-saving welding fume extraction
G Masonry Support Systems Ltd, a division of The Keystone Group – Europe’s largest steel lintel manufacturer – has recently invested in an energy-saving welding fume extraction system from specialist extraction engineers Cades Ltd. A vent-to-atmosphere weld extraction system was designed, supplied and installed by Cades Ltd to effectively deal with welding smoke, fumes and grinding dust from a new 10-bay steel lintel welding line at IG’s fabrication facility in Swadlincote, South Derbyshire. Here, the company produces brick slip masonry support systems in stainless steel and galvanised steel. Each welding bay has a centrally located, 3m long fume extraction arm and captured welding smoke, fume and dust is removed via ductwork to a high-efficiency Gold Series® filter unit. The maintenance- friendly GS6 cartridge-type reverse jet filter contains six high-efficiency HemiPleat Gold Cone filter cartridges; providing optimum cleaning efficiencies, as well as increased filter life and reduced servicing requirements. Powering the system is a 15kW low-noise Moldow main extraction fan set, fitted with a variable speed drive. A key feature of the installation is the inclusion of ECOGATE® energy-saving technology which is designed to reduce power usage on the extraction system by as much as 57%. Each fume extraction hood is fitted with an automatic ECOGATE® motorised damper and a PIR movement sensor which signals an ECOGATE® greenBOX12 controller to open or close the damper as welding stations come on-line or shut down. The greenBOX12 detects changes in extraction load and adjusts the variable speed fan drive accordingly. The result is an extraction system that provides precise extraction volumes, only when required.
