On-gun fume extraction is too heavy, too bulky, and impacts the shielding gas... Not anymore. AWS has teamed up with Translas, Dutch on-gun fume extraction specialist, to launch an industry first: a range of lightweight, manoeuvrable, and ergonomic extraction guns that deliver the highest capture rate on the market – up to 98% – while leaving the shielding gas completely unaffected.

AWS has teamed up with one of the world’s leading brands in Local Exhaust Ventilation, Plymovent, to launch a range of portable LEV systems designed specifically for the welding industry. The range has been hand-picked to cater for all common welding processes including TIG, MMA, MIG, and FCAW. Portable LEV captures welding fume at the source, protecting the welder, and stopping the spread of fume throughout the workshop. Portable systems can be manoeuvred around the workplace to provide effective protection from welding fume and are a perfect solution for workplaces where extraction is required across a range of different situations or positions. Explore the Plymovent LEV range of single phase extraction systems and DraftMax benches with disposable or automatic self-cleaning filters, as well as AirJet industrial cleaners, available in both 3 and 4 stage filtration.
