BMG’s Plymovent solutions for source
extraction include portable fans, fume
extractors and extraction hoses, mobile
and stationary welding fume filter units
with integrated fans. The range also
includes filtration systems, modular
extraction hoods, fire safety solutions
and oil mist filters. A specially designed
workbench provides extraction and
filtration for welding and grinding
applications.
BMG specialists believe that source
extraction is the most effective method
of capturing and removing welding
fumes directly from the breathing zone
of the worker. An important unit in the
MobilePro range is the mobile self-
cleaning fume extractor, that is designed
to remove welding fumes on-site in
spaces that are difficult to reach by fixed
welding fume extraction systems.
makes the PHV unit suitable for stainless
steel welding fume applications.
BMG’s Plymovent PPE PersonalPro
range includes helmets to protect the
eyes, face and head during manual
welding, cutting and grinding. These
versatile
auto-darkening
welding
helmets, with an extended side vision,
provide improved visibility, comfort
and safety. An integrated lightweight
Powered Air Purifying Respiratory
(PAPR) unit provides protection against
eye and face injury, as well as preventing
The PHV filter unit is a compact, portable
unit, which is particularly well-suited for
the extraction of welding fumes at source
during maintenance and moderate
welding applications.
This unit is fitted with two motors to
ensure effective extraction, while using
nozzles or extraction through the welding
torch. A HEPA filter - fitted as standard -
ensures high filtration efficiency and also

respiratory problems. The PAPR unit
blows clean air into the helmet, allowing
the worker to weld and grind, while
breathing purified air via a particulate
filter. This system offers the choice of
two air-flows and for additional safety
there are ‘automatic clogged filter’ and
‘low battery’ alarms.
BMG also offers Translas plug-and-
play ClearO2 systems for the extraction
and filtration of fumes from welding
processes, micro dust, vapours and
odours. The range includes extraction
torches, with various nozzles, for the
safe removal of welding fumes at source.
Portable extraction units are used in
conjunction with fume extractor torches
and are suitable for convenient use
by individual and multiple welders in
high-production welding environments.
ClearO2 High-Vacuum units, with an
automatic cleaning function by reverse
compressed air pulse, offer quiet and
efficient operation.
BMG’s extensive branch network also
stocks a wide range of inverter welders,
accessories, electrodes, welding wire
and PPE, designed to enhance safety
and optimise productivity in all sectors
where metal working is essential.
