A serious рrroblem affecting the working environment within industry is airborne pollution from gases, fumes and dust. Without doubt, the best way of solving the ventilation needs is with fume extraction at source. The idea behind this method is that you capture the air pollutants where they are produced to prevent them from spreading all over the premises and reaching the operator's breathing zone. From a cost point of view, this is also, by far the best solution. To achieve the same result with increased general ventilation, the cost would be a lot more and the problem for the operator would still exist. By using fume extraction at source you have a flexible solution, which is easily extended or changed.
There are two main reasons for investing in fume extraction at source. Let us have a closer look at these. Environments where fume extractors at source should be used

PlymoVent Energy Saver
PlymoVent is one of the most profitable investments you can make when it comes to welding fume extraction. You can save between 80 90% of your energy bill which means that, in many cases, the Energy Saver will have paid for itself within its first year! The cost of heating the extracted air is several hundred per extractor. With the Energy Saver this cost will be a mere 10 20% of this sum, that is just 20 40 peг extractor per year.
Build your own fully automatic system
There are no limits with the PlymoVent Energy Saver. You can size and build your own system exactly to suit the requirements of your work place. That's freedom of choice another advantage of the. Just add Control Unit M1000 for the central duct propeller fan, and your system will be fully automatic. PlymoVent offers you a clean working environment at the right price.
PlymoVent Automatic Damper
PlymoVent Automatic Damper is simplicity itself for a central system. Any central system using individual extraction arms can be improved whether the system is new or existing does not matter, provided there is a single central fan and each 160 mm diameter arm is fitted with an. 10 20% of the total working hours. By using the PlymoVent you only extract the air during that time. Your heat loss will therefore be reduced by 80 90.
PlymoVent Control Unit M1000
PlymoVent Control Unit M1000 controls the central fan in systems with up to 10 extractors. Must be used in conjuction with PlymoVent Energy Savers oг Automatic Dampers. Safe, simple operation and quick response
As soon as someone starts weldíng an impulse is passed from the Energy Saver or Automatic Damper to the M1000, which in turn starts the central fan. When the last person stops welding the M1000 automatically stops
the central fan. There is an adjustable overrun facility between 10 seconds and 3 minutes to remove all residual after fume from the system.
Automatic shutdown facility
At any periods when the working activityceases, such as lunch, shiftchanges and the end of the day the M1000 will
automatically shut down the system until work resumes. Simple, safe and convenient.
Reduces energy costs
As the central fan only runs when welding is taking place, you save energy and reduce the running costs. Added to this, the low cost! M1000 іs very sіmple to install.
Making even better economy. Less noise
You automatically reduce the background noise in your workshop when you install the M1000.
PlymoVent offers you a clean working environment at the rightprice.
Light Sensor
The LS-12 is designed to be used with the Energy Saver and Automatic Damper as an alternative to using the inductive sensor clamp. lt is ideal for gas welding or TIG welding at less than 30 amps. The difference between an inductive sensor and a light sensor is that the inductive sensor reacts to the magnetic field created by the welder's electric cable, whereas the light sensor reacts to
small beams of light. It sees the change of light when someone starts or stops welding and automatically operates the fan or damper. The light sensor can be connected in parallel to the inductive sensor which
will make it possible to work with amperages both over and under 30 amps.
With the SA-24 you can operate the fan and lamp cartridge from a switch at the extractor hood.
The starter is available in two models. SA-24 75 for one extractor with light in hood and one fan, and the SA 24 150 for two extractors with lights and one fan. The starter is mounted to the wall, supplied with 240 440 V. A. C. and connected to the extractor fan. It comes complete with switch assembly for the hood, 6 metres of cable, built in contactor and 24V 75 W transformer. It has a contactor which operates the fan via a supply of 24 V.
The lamp cartridge in the hood of the extractor is connected to the 24 V transformer in the starter.
lncreases the use of the extractor. The fan start stop switch and the lamp switch are always close to operator, therefore convenient to use.
Energy saving. The operator can quickly and easily stop the fan.
SA-24 makes the electrical installation simple.

The design and function of the MF, allied to its huge capacity, guarantees you a clean workplace free from dust and fumes. Filtration of pollutants from processes such as welding, turning, cutting etc. is carried out in two stages. Access to the maintenance free, replaceable filters is easy and changing them takes justa coupIe of minutes. An activated carbon filter for gasses is also available as an accessory. This is also easily replaced.
PlymoVent offers you a clean working environment at the right price. 2 stage filtration with a standard filter
Stage 1: A thick aluminium prefilter separates particles down to 50um.
Stage 2: A fine cellulose fílter with a very large active surface separates 99% of all other smaller particles.
3 stage filtration with an activated carbon filter
The third stage in the fíltration process is achieved by the
PlymoVent activated carbon filter which is available as an accessory for filtering gases in, for example, welding fumes. The larger the concentration of gas, the shorter the life span of the carbon filter. The MF filters are connected directly to the extraction arms for continuous cleaning and recirculation of the air and no heat loss. They are available in two sizes for 1 or 2 work stations, with different filter sizes in each 15 m2 or 25 m2.
PlymoVent's wall mounted mechanical MF filters have a large capacity and a high filtration efficiency of 99%.
An extraction arm will capture fume and dust at a distance of 30 50 cm from the source and within an area of 0.5 1.0 metre diameter. No cleaning of the filter is necessary. The filter cassette is simply changed when full, between 1 and 3 times per year
The EMK units are fitted with heavyduty industrial electrostatic cells which filter the air in 3 stages.
The filtration efficiency is extremely high, even with high volumes of air. The filter cells are easily accessible.
Justwash them and reusethem! Robust and versatile
The big wheels and handles on the unit allow it to be moved easily to exactly where it is needed. The extraction arm is PlymoVent's super flexible KUA

The 4 metre arm can reach up to 5.2 m from floor level and anywhere within a working area of 8 m. The PlymoVent EMK is the sensible first step for a company to solve its problems with welding fumes, as it can be used exactly where it is required. All you need is a single phase socket and the extractor is ready to go into action.
The EMK filters particles down to in two stages. Particles which pass through the prefilter are charged with 12,000V іn the ionizing cell. These are then separated in the collection cell at a voltage of 6,000 V. The cleaned air is discharged upwards from the unit. A third stage in the filtration process can be carried out by an activated carbon filter which can be fitted after the collection cell.
See page 52 for information about the electrostatic principle.
Supplied with the KUA extraction arm, either 2 m, 3 m or 4 m in length.
The EMK 1600 is also avallable with 2 extraction arms.
For companies who have already solved their main welding fume problems with wall mounted fume extractors, the EMK is the perfect complement. It can be used at those temporary workplaces around the factory where welding is only occasionally carried out, but where fume removal is necessary and of course it is invaluable as a reserve so that if any of the wall mounted extractors arе out of order it can take over and prevent a stoppage of work. The big advantage with electrostatic filters is that they can easily be cleaned and used again. How often you have to clean them depends on how much fume and dust you extract. PlymoVent mobile electrostatic filters use powerful industrial cells, and are built throug hout from robust components for tough, demanding industrial use.
