Case study: the extraction of welding fumes with the help of NEX HD arms

Improved Air Quality at Clivanexport, Greece Through Local Extraction Systems
At Clivanexport in Greece, a manufacturer of ovens and mixers for pastries, welding operations across four stations were generating high amounts of fumes and toxic emissions. Additionally, handling insulation materials released airborne particles, which—when accumulated—posed serious health risks for workers on the production floor.
To tackle both challenges, the company installed:
- 2 NEX HD extraction arms, each 4 meters long
- 2 NEX HD extraction arms, each 5 meters long
- all connected to a single NCF ventilator
The solution significantly improved air quality in welding zones and around the insulation processing area. Due to the system’s effectiveness, Clivanexport decided to expand the setup by:
- adding 2 additional welding stations
- installing a FilterMax unit
- integrating a ventilator inverter for optimal airflow control
Beyond welding fume capture, the new setup is also used to extract airborne particles generated during insulation material manipulation, ensuring a safer and cleaner workspace throughout the facility.
