Removing Harmful Smoke in School Welding Labs

Schools and training facilities teach students the skills for welding, leading them to becoming an indispensable team member of any construction firm. Welding is a precision craft that demands concentration and training. Think about it - every ship, jet, train, bridge and steel-frame building is only as strong as its welds. The modern welder is knowledgeable about more than just welding; they must be able to read blueprints and understand metallurgy, safety and technology. A bright, clean, state‐of‐the‐art weld lab attracts students, increases enrollment, and impresses industry and government officials.

Many community colleges, union shops and training facilities use welding stations provided by Clean Air America because they protect students from the harmful smoke generated in the welding process. The Clean Air WeldBooth is a flexible booth configuration that is ducted either to an exhaust fan or the preferred method of a filtration system such as the Clean Air Smart Collector.

"We chose the Clean Air WeldStation 5 because it works perfectly to keep clean the entire weld lab, which operates five days/week from 7AM - 9PM. By utilizing these weld stations, we were able to meet the Gold Certification for LEED buildings and guarantee a superior quality for our indoor environment."

- John Goss, advisor, South Puget Sound Community College Welding Program
