Fume & Mist Collection
Industrial fumes, oil mist, coolant mist, smoke, and airborne contaminants can negatively impact employee health, reduce equipment life, and create unsafe working environments.
Complete Fume & Mist Collection Solutions
From welding fumes and laser cutting smoke to CNC machining oil mist and coolant aerosols, our engineered systems are designed to eliminate airborne contaminants before they spread throughout your facility. Every solution is customized for your process, airflow requirements, facility layout, and compliance goals.
Types of Fume & Mist Collection Systems
Source Capture Fume Extraction
Captures fumes directly at the point of generation using extraction arms, hoods, or nozzles to prevent contaminants from spreading.
Centralized Fume Collection Systems
A single high-capacity collector connected to multiple workstations, ideal for large manufacturing and fabrication facilities.
