Can't the welding fume extractor work? Check these three points!

With the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection and the increasingly strict requirements of environmental impact assessment, almost every workshop involving the welding process has installed welding fume extractor. It can not only stabilize the EIA, but also protect the health of workers and enhance production efficiency

However, no matter how good the welding fume extractor is, it will inevitably cause problems. Many factory owners will find that the welding fume extractor purchased at a high price will not be able to work for a long time because of the poor quality of the welding fume extractor? In fact, as a senior manufacturer of environmental protection equipment, Power Space Environmental Protection Technical Engineer summarized these three reasons to let you know clearly why the welding smoke purifier can not work, and how to solve the problem.

The filter cartridge is blocked

Once the welding fume purifier cannot work, first check whether the filter cartridge is blocked. This is the reason why the purifier is not working in many workshops. When the filter element is filtering fume and dust, large particles of dust fall to the lower ash bucket, while small particles of dust will adhere to the filter element surface, which will form a layer of dust, block the filter hole, and the air volume of the welding fume purifier will decline due to the blockage, resulting in not working.

This situation cannot be avoided, and the best solution is to clean it regularly. It is recommended to purchase the welding fume purifier with pulse dust cleaning device, which can automatically clean the dust, effectively prolong the service time of the equipment and reduce the cost of manual maintenance.

The amount of welding fume exceeds the equipment's tolerance  

Generally speaking, the amount of welding fume is directly related to the welding wire, welding materials, welding process, etc. The amount of welding fume produced by different welding materials and welding methods varies greatly. If this is not taken into account when purchasing the extractor, the extractor with ordinary air volume will be unable to work in good condition when meet a large amount of welding fume in the workshop.

Therefore, the amount of welding fume at different levels should correspond to the welding fume extractor at different air volumes. The more welding fume, the greater the wind force and fan power of the welding fume extractor. Otherwise, the due welding fume collection effect cannot be achieved. In order to avoid this problem, Power Space Environmental Protection will arrange technicians to go to the site to conduct field survey and provide users with the most appropriate scheme of welding fume extractor.

Unreasonable flow channel design or air leakage in the box

There are many optional of welding fume extractors on the market. It is not easy to find a cost-effective brand. Many enterprises blindly pursue low prices, and the quality of the welding fume extractor finally purchased cannot be guaranteed. Due to unreasonable design of the flow channel or gaps in the connection of the product box and accessories, the loss of wind pressure is occured, and the wind force is greatly dispersed, resulting in poor dust removal effect and inability to work.

Generally speaking, this kind of situation rarely occurs, which is the quality problem of the welding fume extractor itself. Therefore, when selecting and purchasing, we must recognize the regular manufacturers, and have professional technology and after-sales team services. This can ensure the quality of the welding fume extractor. Even if problems occur later, they can be solved in a timely manner, without affecting the production efficiency.

To sum up, the reason why the welding fume extractor can not suck the dust and fume is mainly caused by three aspects: the filter cartridge is blocked, the amount of welding fume exceeds the standard set by the equipment, the design of flow channel is unreasonable, or the box leaks. Choosing a suitable welding fume extractor is not as simple as expected, and it needs to be compared by multiple buyers and selected according to the actual situation of the workshop.
