WST MIG/MAG welding torches also extract fumes

Air Liquide Welding has developed torches that combine the characteristics of conventional MIG/MAG welding torches with an effective fixed-collector fume-extraction system.

The extraction of welding fumes at source provides the assurance of a healthy environment for welders and compliance with regulations and labour laws.

Extraction is obtained at a high extraction-rate with low load loss due to the advanced air-flow design of the torches.

This range of WST (Welding Suction Torches) also complies with standard EN 60974-7.

The range includes five air-cooled torches from 150 to 400A and three water-cooled torches from 300 to 500A, available in several lengths from 3-5m.

The volume of extracted air is low and does not generally require any additional air installations.

The torches are connected either to independent extraction units or to a centralised high-suction unit.

Because the extraction system follows the welder's arm, it is efficient in all circumstances.

By using such torches with appropriate welding booms, the torch can be brought to the welder without the potential user drawbacks.

This improves productivity, safety and the lightness of the torch, while allowing fatigue-free working in a healthy environment.

The single-piece insulating guns and active components of the torches have been designed for longer life and to reduce wear and tear.

Insulated torch guns prevent short circuits in the event of improper use.

The metal rotating ring at the handles slides efficiently and improves the air flow.

An optional duct offers high resistance to fire, spatter and cutting.
