What Is a Welding Fume Purifier?
A Welding Fume Purifier, also known as a Welding Smoke Extractor or Portable Welding Fume Extractor, is an advanced air filtration system designed to capture, purify, and remove hazardous welding fumes, dust, and smoke produced during industrial welding, cutting, polishing, and grinding operations.
Senotay’s welding fume purifiers are widely used with:
· MIG / MAG welding
· TIG welding
· Arc welding
· Laser welding
· Plasma cutting
· Grinding and polishing operations
They provide powerful filtration to ensure clean indoor air, helping factories comply with occupational health standards.
Why Choose a Welding Fume Purifier?
Welding processes emit harmful gases and micro-particles, including hexavalent chromium, manganese, and lead oxides. Continuous exposure to these emissions causes respiratory diseases, lowers productivity, and damages equipment.
Choosing a Senotay Welding Fume Purifier offers multiple benefits:
Health & Safety: Removes 99.97% of airborne contaminants as small as 0.3 microns.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets international ISO 9001 and CE standards.
Operational Efficiency: Keeps welding sites cleaner, reducing maintenance and downtime.
Cost Effectiveness: Long filter life (5–10 years) and reduced energy consumption save operational costs.
Environmental Protection: Contributes to cleaner air and a sustainable workplace.

How Does a Welding Fume Purifier Work?
The working principle of a Welding Fume Purifier relies on negative pressure suction and multi-stage filtration:
Fume Capture: The flexible extraction arm and dust hood draw in contaminated air from the welding source.
Pre-Filtration: A flame-retardant net stops sparks and large particles from entering the chamber.
Fine Filtration: High-efficiency pleated HEPA cartridge filters trap fine particulate matter and toxic gases.
Automatic Pulse Cleaning: The pulse jet system releases compressed air bursts to clean the filters, ensuring continuous operation.
Air Discharge: Purified air is released back into the workspace or ventilation system, maintaining safe air circulation.
