Case Studies

Fume Capture & Extraction

Effective thermal and laser welding fume capture requires specialized systems to manage fine, toxic submicron particles, typically using cartridge dust collectors with MERV 15-16 or HEPA filters

Key aspects of welding and thermal cutting filtration

Welding and thermal cutting processes generate fumes and dust that can be harmful to workers.

NEMA Ratings and HAZLOC

NEMA ratings are a standard system developed by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).

Selecting a Vacuum Sweeper for Clean Air

A dusty factory floor creates a poor breathing environment.

High Power HEPA Vacuums

If you are renting expensive vacuum trucks your ROI on purchasing an ATLAS is instant.

Never Use Buy-It-Now

If you see a "buy-it-now" next to a picture of an explosion-proof Vacuum or Dust Collector, this indicates a brand that cannot and should not be trusted.
