Do you work in the manufacturing industry? Is your idea of great customer service a minimized mess after you’re done welding or grinding? If yes, perhaps a downdraft table is what you need.
Downdraft tables, a powerful, steel-made, motor-run asset, makes working with small tools and compact machinery considerably more efficient. To protect the motors, many downdraft tables have pierced table tops with filters that collect all the dust.
In essence, a downdraft table enables you to keep your workspace clean when undertaking tool work through filters. And this is precisely the reason ..read more

Oil mist and oil smoke in manufacturing facilities are primarily generated by industrial processes that involve the use of cutting fluids, such as machining, grinding, and milling. There are different types of cutting fluids that generate oil mist and smoke, including straight oils, soluble oils, semi-synthetic fluids, water-based fluids (composed of water, with additives for lubrication and rust prevention), and synthetic fluids. These fluids are used to cool, lubricate, and remove metal particles during the machining process. When these fluids come into contact with the hot surface of the w ..read more

You might not think much about the air you breathe. But what you might not know is that welding can produce fumes that are harmful to your health. That’s why it’s important to have a welding fume removal system in place.
A welding particulate removal system eliminates the fumes and smoke produced by welding operations and protects workers from the hazards of exposure to those fumes. If you’re a welder, it’s important to understand the dangers of welding fumes and take steps to protect yourself from them.
What is Welding Fume?
Welding fumes are created when metals are welded together. The fume ..read more
