WELDING FUME FILTERS
THE IDEAL SOLUTION FOR CAPTURING WELDING FUMES
Welding and soldering of structural steel, stainless steel, coated sheet metal, aluminium and galvanised workpieces produces welding fumes that are harmful welding fumes, which are extracted and effectively filtered by a welding fume filter. The welding fumes are extracted via an extraction arm connected to a stationary or mobile extraction unit, a hood, a welding table or directly at the welding torch. The filtered, particle-free air is fed back into the work area or directed outside via a pipe.
ESTA offers mobile, portable and stationary systems for point extraction of welding and soldering fumes - depending on the application requirements. For welding fume extraction with high-alloy steels, ESTA welding fume filters are optionally available with IFA certificate W3.
TESTED QUALITY OF WELDING FUME FILTERS
ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE
Particularly when welding stainless steel, special guidelines for work safety apply: depending on how high the hazardous chromium/nickel concentration in the stainless steel is, welding fume filters with IFA test certificate W3 are required for protection. For special applications, the welding fume extraction systems are available with different filter media and filter cleaning systems. This means that the systems can be used in many areas.

Product details
The compact welding fume filters in the DUSTOMAT DRY series are suitable for almost all applications thanks to their versatile configurations. Thanks to optimised air technology, they are even more energy efficient than their predecessors. In addition, the innovative filter cleaning system reduces compressed air consumption by up to 50 per cent.
With the DUSTOMAT HYDRO, ESTA presents a new high-performance wet separator series. It has been specially designed for extracting aluminium dust and for work processes with flying sparks.
The IFA-tested DUSTOMAT 4 mobile welding fume filter is particularly recommended for frequently changing extraction points. Its compact design makes it very easy to move and flexible to use. The mobile extraction units include motors with a drive power of 2.2 kW.
The SRF K series is suitable for mobile welding fume extraction at one or two workstations. Thanks to its compact design, the mobile welding fume filter can be easily moved to the required workplace. ESTA extraction arms with specially developed extraction hoods are connected to the mobile extraction unit to capture fumes.
The welding fume extraction units of the DUSTMAC F series have a modular design and can therefore be combined to create welding fume filter systems for any required air volume. The extraction units are available in different versions.
The mobile high-vacuum welding fume filters SRF T series are compact portable welding fume filters that extract welding fume particles directly at the point of origin (e.g. at welding torches).
The modular welding fume filter systems WELDEX FE are ideal for air volumes from 20,000 to 120,000 m³/h and are suitable for stationary outdoor installation and as a hall ventilation system for welding fumes.
The free-standing FILTOWER-F plug & play hall ventilation system, which captures large quantities of welding fumes, dust, vapours etc. in production halls without pipe systems, is suitable as a supplement to direct extraction.
Further information on the mobile and stationary ESTA welding fume extraction systems can be found on the respective product pages.

QUALITY FILTERS PAY OFF
At ESTA, we focus on durability. In contrast to conventional extraction units, our welding fume filters have cleanable permanent filter cartridges with maximum filter service lives and only infrequent filter changes. In addition, the filters can be regenerated via ultrasonic cleaning, which makes buying a new one a distant prospect.
ESTA WELDING FUME EXTRACTION
WELDING FUME EXTRACTION DIRECTLY AT THE POINT OF ORIGIN
Extracting welding fumes directly at the point of origin is the most effective method of capturing pollutants. This approach reduces the risk of welders and other employees being exposed to harmful or carcinogenic fumes. Our sales team will be happy to provide you with detailed advice to ensure that no limit values are exceeded in your workplace.
mobile and stationary welding fume extraction systems
ESTA welding fume extraction systems are available in various designs. The product range includes both mobile and stationary extraction systems for capturing welding fumes. The mobile extraction systems have smooth-running castors. This allows the filter units to be used flexibly at different locations in the production halls for welding fume extraction. The stationary extraction systems, on the other hand, are installed centrally in the area around the processing machine.
welding fume extraction with extraction arm
MAG welding and other welding processes produce harmful and carcinogenic welding fumes that can enter the body directly through simple inhalation. It is therefore important to capture it completely as soon as it is produced.
The extraction arms capture the welding and soldering fumes directly at the point of origin and are connected to a fan or to a filter unit via a pipe system. ESTA offers a wide range of extraction arms for your individual requirements. We will be happy to advise you on request. The extraction arms are supplied completely pre-assembled and can be ordered with different extraction hoods, hoses, nominal widths and mounting types.
welding fume extraction with DOWNDRAFT tables
ESTA downdraft tables are an alternative to capturing carcinogenic welding fumes using capture elements such as extraction hoods. These downdraft tables capture the welding fumes during the welding process, for example of steel, stainless steel or aluminium, via their support and rear wall. The downdraft tables are used for single-user extraction and have a modular design. In combination with a filter unit or a fan, they ensure clean and healthy air free of particles in the workplace.
WELDING FUME EXTRACTION AT THE WELDING TORCH
Welding fumes can be extracted directly at the welding torch during MAG, MIG or TIG welding (direct torch extraction). ESTA welding fume filters are designed to effectively capture welding and soldering fumes without interrupting the shielding gas atmosphere and also without reducing the quality of the weld seam.
The extraction system can be used on several welding torches at the same time and is available in different performance levels for filtering. The SRF-T is a good extraction solution for this. See the torch extraction system for yourself - it couldn't be closer or more fume-free. The best solution for a healthy future for your employees.
welding fume extraction with hall ventilation systems
In addition to the stationary and mobile filter systems, the FILTOWER-F hall ventilation system is also suitable. This system does not require any pipework and helps to remove welding and soldering fumes from the room air. Further information on our hall extraction systems can be found here.
Further information on the general topic of welding fumes and how welding fume filters are used can be found in our knowledge database under the heading ‘What is welding fume?’. Our sales team will be happy to advise you on fume extraction and other extraction technology on request
