Welding Fume Extraction With The ULT Airtower

Breathe Easy With The Airtower

When it comes to welding operations, hazardous fumes pose a significant risk to workers and can contaminate manufacturing systems and products. The ULT Airtower is a best in class Air Tower welding fume extraction system that captures these contaminants directly in the workshop and returns clean air back into the breathing zone.

Developed in close cooperation with Novus air, the Airtower is one of the most efficient and powerful industrial air cleaning solutions available today. It helps you meet regulatory requirements while creating a cleaner, safer, and more comfortable work environment.

Functional operation of the ULT Airtower

The ULT Airtower works on the principle of layer ventilation, creating a zone of purified air in the work area.

  • Contaminated air is drawn in at the top of the unit

  • The air passes through multi stage filtration that removes more than 99.9 percent of particulates

  • Purified air is released near floor level without drafts

By using the natural thermal lift of welding fumes, the Airtower efficiently guides contaminated air back to the upper intake. This recirculation concept improves air quality in the breathing zone and reduces the need for heated outside air, which helps lower energy and heating costs.

Advantages of the Air Tower welding fume extractor

The Airtower combines strong extraction performance with simple installation and low operating costs. Key advantages include:

  • Plug and play - No complicated ductwork, on torch extraction, capture hoods, or extraction arms.

  • High efficiency filtration - Multi stage filter technology removes 99.9 percent of airborne particulates and fumes for reliable protection of people, equipment, and products.

  • Energy savings- Recirculated air and clever use of process heat reduce the amount of outside air needed and help cut heating and ventilation costs. Superior design - eliminates the need for on-torch extraction, capturing elements, or extraction arms.

  • Automatic filter cleaning - Automated cleaning of filter cartridges supports long filter life, often up to three years,and consistent filtration performance.

  • Low noise operation - Exceptionally quiet for its performance class, supporting a more comfortable and productive work environment.

  • Durable and sustainable design - Robust construction with a long service life reduces replacement needs and supports more sustainable operation.

Why should welding fumes be on your radar?

Welding fumes are a mix of metallic oxides, silicates, fluorides, fine dust, and gases. Over time they can:

  • Harm the respiratory health of welders and nearby staff

  • Affect product quality and sensitive electronics

  • Increase cleaning and maintenance requirements

  • Lead to possible compliance issues with health and safety regulations

Installing a dedicated Air Tower welding fume extraction system like the ULT Airtower is one of the most effective ways to protect people, equipment, and productivity.
