Description
Welding fume can represent a considerable health risk. Occupational safety experts recommend that it is filtered out of the air directly after generation at the source. Wilkinson Star has developed the new F-Tech fume extraction torch which is characterised by good accessibility, high detection capability and robustness. F-Tech combines effective health protection with the best possible working conditions and is suitable for demanding industrial applications.
The F-Tech fume welding torches feature the reduced weight cable assembly, for even better handling and scientifically proven reduced operator fatigue, in all welding positions. Improved handling and reduced strain have further been shown to have a measurable impact on weld seam quality, this has also improved thanks to the well balanced structure of the torch.The F-Tech gives the welder maximum extraction efficiency at the welding source and its air cooling properties means it requires less maintenance and is highly durable. As well as this, it allows the torch to be in use for longer periods of time without overheating. Air cooled applications are more practical for portability.
It is also easily connectable to an extraction unit or welding machine making it simple and user-friendly. At 400 Amps the F-Tech has a 60% duty cycle and it has an extraction rate of 70m3/h.
