Kemper: Stationary entry-level welding fume extraction system
Published: 24th Feb 2021
Vreden, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (press release: August 12, 2020) – For cost-efficient entry into integral welding fume extraction: The new WallMaster filter system from KEMPER lets metalworking companies optimise their protective welding equipment for employees. With an area of 42 m², the stationary unit has the largest filter surface in the entry-level price segment. Little effort is required to integrate and mount the unit behind extraction elements such as extraction arms or fans with no need for its own power supply. This makes it also suitable for simple retrofitting.
"Protecting employees from harmful welding fumes should not fail because of the costs of clean air technology", emphasises Björn Kemper, chairman of the management board of Kemper GmbH. "The WallMaster means we are now closing the gap in the entry-level segment between low price barriers, effective filter technology and a space-saving product design."
The stationary filter unit is suitable for filtering medium quantities of welding fumes and dust at up to two workplaces simultaneously. The filter surface of 42 square meters is decisive in this respect. This is the highest capacity in the entry-level price segment of stationary welding fume extraction on the market to date. Users thus achieve significantly longer filter lives compared to conventional filter units. The WallMaster effectively separates even ultra-fine particles with a size of less than 0.1 µm to a degree of more than 99.5%. - www.kemper.eu
