Air purification tower
At-source capture of dust and fume should always be the primary control mechanism for protection of a workforce and to ensure a clean working environment, but despite best intentions at-source capture is not always possible or sufficient.
That is why Nederman has introduced its new MCP-16RC Air Purification Tower for removing secondary airborne welding fumes from the workplace. This stand-alone unit is suitable for production facilities where ducting cannot be installed, where very large fabrications are being welded or where capture at-source isn't practical. Additionally, for employers conscious of the overall working environment, the MCP-16RC can be installed to complement at-source capture systems.
In terms of operation, contaminated air is first drawn into the unit at low level. It then passes through the high efficiency filtration section containing sixteen patented Uni-Clean filter cartridges, before clean air is blown back into the workshop via sixty adjustable nozzles in the upper outlet plenum.
By blowing air directly into the 'fume blanket' that sits at a height of 4-5m above the workshop, the MCP-16RC disrupts the natural resting point of welding fumes above the workplace floor and re-circulates them through the unit. The sixty high-speed ejection nozzles at the top of the unit allows Nederman’s Air Purification Tower to achieve impressive reach, allowing the user to install few units to cover a large area.
