As robotic and collaborative (cobot) welding become standard in modern manufacturing, protecting people and productivity while meeting environmental expectations is more important than ever. The Nederman Streamline Modular Hood is a high-efficiency enclosure designed to contain and control welding fumes, dust, and sparks near the source - delivering safer conditions, reduced energy usage, and better overall process performance.

Built for seamless integration into robotic welding cells and cobot stations, the Streamline Modular Hood supports compliance with global air quality standards, safeguards workers, and enhances sustainability. When paired with a filtration system such as the MCP SmartFilter or MCP-GO, it forms a complete, highly efficient fume control solution for today’s automated production environments.

Key benefits of the Streamline Modular Hood :

• Efficient and safe: outlet design with baffle for optimal airflow, less air volume and spark deterrence;
• Ergonomic: with transparent polycarbonate roof for improved visibility without added lighting;
• Quick and space-saving: fast and easy assembly, with low profile design and lightweight construction that enable it to be installed anywhere, minimizing the need for any reinforcements to floor or ceiling;
• Versatile: modular construction with wide range of sizes, starting from 1,5 x 1,5m and with 0,5m size increments, to suit various cell and welding area dimensions;
• Flexible: multiple installation options with adjustable height, outlet position and duct connection size;

Worker safety at the core

By enclosing the welding zone, Streamline Modular Hood minimises the spread of hazardous fumes and fine particulates, helping protect employees from long-term exposure and maintaining a healthier workspace.

Global regulatory support

Whether you're working to meet local occupational safety guidelines or international standards (such as ISO, EU Directives, OSHA, HSE or other regional air quality regulations), Streamline Modular Hood helps achieve compliance by focusing on effective source capture.

Reduce energy usage with local containment

Compared to ambient air cleaning methods, which treat large volumes of air across entire facilities, the Streamline Modular hood enables localized containment. This significantly reduces the required volumetric airflow, leading to smaller filtration systems, lower energy consumption, and longer filter life.

Designed for modern welding automation

Whether installing fixed robotic arms or mobile cobots, the hood’s modular design adapts to your specific cell configuration. It installs quickly—often within hours—without the need for specialized labor or tools.

Efficient use of space and light

With a low-profile design and a transparent ceiling, the Streamline Hood preserves workspace visibility and minimises its footprint. It’s ideal for facilities that value efficient layout planning and operator ergonomics.

Complete, intelligent air filtration

When connected to a Nederman MCP SmartFilter or MCP-GO, the hood becomes part of a full-featured air quality system. These filtration units remove harmful particulates and, where permitted, return clean air to the facility—automatically managing performance to ensure safety and efficiency.

A smarter way to manage welding fume exposure

For global manufacturers embracing robotic and cobot welding, the combination of the Streamline Modular Hood and MCP filtration technology offers a scalable, flexible, and energy-efficient solution. By capturing fumes at the source, you reduce system demands, improve workplace conditions, and simplify compliance—while supporting your long-term environmental and operational goals.
