Weldsale Downdraft Systems

Are you or your Weldors tired of breathing welding fumes and vapors? Maybe it is these fumes that are making you tired (and making you sick!).

Get the fumes out of your face!

Weldsale Downdraft Systems pull smoke and fumes away from your breathing zone. Our systems capture the smoke and fumes generated up to 18" above the Platen surface, and then pulls them down through the Platen's square holes.

Retrofit is available for most existing Platens and Stands. Please contact us for retrofit information and to discuss the many benefits of a Downdraft Platen System.

Why use a Downdraft Ventilation/Exhaust System?

Because it Works!

• Retrofit is available for most existing platens and stands. Please phone for full retrofitting information.

• Operator Friendly - the welder does not need to move an extraction arm.

• Operator can make long welds without stopping to repositions a smoke exhaust arm.

• The downdraft principle (moving smoke away from the welder) is in keeping with OSHA guidelines.

• Applicable for any problem or process - MIG, Flux-Cored, Stick, TIG, Plasma Cutting, Oxy-Acetylene Cutting, Arcair Gouging, and Grinding.

• Espeically suitable for galvanized, stainless, aluminum, and other metals where toxic fumes may occur.

Our goal is to capture approximately 70% of the smoke and fumes generated at least 12-18" above the platen surface. Efficiency increases as the square holes are covered over by your weldment and plugged with clamps and tools. Field tests show that Weldsale Downdraft Systems do not affect the shielding gases im MIG welding operations.

We constantly seek to improve our products. this is the third generation of our Downdraft Systems. It works better than our previous designs. Weldsale Company supplies only industrial grade pipe, ducting and elbows. we also supply Pipe Hangers and an Pipe Coupling for this suggetsed layout. The Exhaust Blowers are industrial grade and have weather resistant covers.
