Smoke and fumes pose a health and safety risk to weld shops year-round, but winter weather brings special challenges. Now is the time to come up with a solution.
As colder weather arrives, it’s time to reevaluate how you go about controlling the dust and fumes generated during welding. Some of the commonly used “remedies” to fume buildup can be problematic. A proper ventilation system that utilizes a high-efficiency dust collector and recirculates air through the shop is a proven way to keep welding fumes under control in winter months while providing a very good return on investment in energy savings.
