FEATURE 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 32 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. www.fmdrc-Zambia.com
