Nederman offers everything from standalone welding fume extractors to fully integrated extraction systems. We provide feasibility studies and tailored planning for the welding and metal fabrication industries. Our dedicated design department is always ready to support you with detailed proposals and specifications using our advanced CAD systems. With our calculation tools, we deliver comprehensive, customer-specific layout solutions—including cost estimates—for optimal efficiency and performance. Installation and commissioning are an integral part of our offering. And with our robust after-sales service—ranging from emergency repairs to scheduled maintenance—you can rely on Nederman for long-term operational support.

Safe and efficient welding and cutting processes

Controlling exposure to welding fumes is typically achieved through extraction and ventilation. The choice of method depends on specific circumstances. The goal is to capture welding fumes as close to the source as possible—protecting not only the welder but also other workers nearby. Nederman’s systems are designed for welding fume extraction across multiple workstations and are also used for cleaning work areas and machinery. Our product range includes portable fume extractors, hose reels for gas and compressed air, as well as reels for electrical cables—offering flexible and comprehensive solutions to meet your needs.

Welding fume extraction at the source – the most effective way to remove fumes

Wherever feasible, source extraction has proven to be the most efficient method for capturing and removing welding and similar fumes. This approach minimizes the welder’s or operator’s exposure to hazardous fumes. Welding torches with integrated extraction enable welders to work over large surfaces as well as inside structures with ease. Additionally, source extraction reduces heating and cooling costs by limiting the amount of conditioned air removed from the workspace.

Even welding robots need to be protected

Welding operations using automated equipment require careful monitoring. Operators and maintenance staff overseeing robotic welding equipment can be exposed to residual fumes and need protection similar to manual welders. Nederman’s solutions for automated welding processes include both torch extraction systems and hood extraction systems—designed to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all personnel involved.

From energy loss to energy savings

Leaving the extraction system running when not in use results in significant energy loss. It takes more energy to heat and cool your facility when your fume extraction system is operating unnecessarily, as conditioned air is being drawn out. Nederman offers several energy-saving solutions that also improve working conditions: With the Nederman fan inverter, fan operation is continuously adjusted based on the number of extraction points in use, ensuring the required airflow. This reduces noise caused by underloaded systems. The easy-to-program fan timer starts and stops the fan based on working hours, holidays, and more.  working hours, holidays, etc. When combined with Nederman motorized dampers (automatic fans), which open and close connections to each extraction point, system efficiency and operating costs are further improved. Nederman fan control units (often used in smaller systems) activate the central fan only during welding operations. The fan can be switched on manually or automatically during welding.

Plasma cutting fumes

Plasma cutting fumes place a heavy load on filter media, which leads to the need for a large filter surface area per unit of airflow. In plasma cutting installations with large work tables, the only energy-efficient solution is to use sectioned tables with localized extraction from below in the specific sections where cutting is taking place at that moment.
