Why Choose Lincoln Electric
In early 2024 Safe Work Australia introduced new legislation for workplace exposure standards for airborne contaminants. The workplace exposure standard (WES) for welding fumes has been reduced from an 8-hour time-weighted average of 5 mg/m3 to 1 mg/m3. As a result, all necessary controls must be implemented to meet this higher standard.

Miniflex
Perfect for the removal and filtration of welding fumes from light duty welding applications. Easy to clean and maintain. Convenient automatic start/stop function can extend the life of the motor brushes and reduce energy consumption.
X-Tractor® 1 Fume Gun
Designed for light to medium duty welding applications. Compact size and light weight making it easy to move to where it’s needed. Easy to clean and maintain. Quiet operation and simple to configure.
Linc Extractor
Extractor with self-cleaning filter for up to two MIG or TIG torches. Multi-language colour HMI interface. Workshop Environmental protection whilst ensuring productivity. Manual or automatic control ability
Mobiflex
Mobile unit specially to extract and filter dry welding fumes from light or medium welding activities. Easy to use, with filtration capacity and efficiency give it a longer life. Available in various configurations.
Statiflex
Mechanical filter with a cartridge design for easy cleaning. Filter abundant non-explosive dry particles and fumes, complete with a versatile saturation indicator. This filter system is suitable for a single capture arm.
Extraction Arms
Flexible extraction arms with a rotatable hood. Hoods incorporate a throttle valve. Arms are adapted for heavy-duty use in industrial environments with a balance system, making the movement of the arm easy.
Exhaust Hoods
Simple. Flexible. Cost Effective. Manage your fume extraction without sacrificing quality and efficiency. Modular design and extensive range of standard sizes, customizations to fit your exact automation strategy.
The Circulator
A free-standing general filtration system that reduces the overall concentration of welding fume through continuous filtration and airflow. Extracts and filters welding fume which is released during most common welding fabrication processes.
Push Pull Systems
Used along with a duct system, it includes a blowing system and extraction system. Fumes are captured, filtered and the air is recycled in the workshop. High-performance self-cleaning. Talk to us about these innovative and efficient systems.
PAPR Helmets
Features a smart blower system, integrated grind shield and side windows and an extra-large 75mm x 108mm auto-darkening lens with our exclusive 4C® Lens technology. 4 Axis headgear provides adjustments to evenly distribute weight and improve comfort.
Welding Jackets
Technical garments for specialised tasks. Flame retardant cloth helps keep you cool. Heavy duty leather panels resist wear in all the right places. Tested by a team of professional welders to offer welders comfort and dexterity for heavy duty jobs that require extra spatter protection.
Welding Gloves
Our gloves are made with premium leather that have passed specific tests, for thermal and electrical risks. They protect from welding operations such as: MMA, MAG, MIG, Stick, TIG plasma cutting and gouging. Available in various configurations.
Welding Fume Methodology — Steps To The Right Solution
Lincoln Electric follows an in-depth process of evaluating the right weld fume control solution for your application.
Our technical team is trained and knowledgeable about the methodology of substitution, isolation, and ventilation.
As a key partner, with a wealth of experience and knowledge of welding, welding fume and welding fume removal,
we can aid you in this process, more so than vendors with a focus only on air handling.
A crucial step is to conduct a site assessment and complete an application data sheet to ensure that the system design is appropriate to your particular facility's needs. Criteria including, but not limited to, amount of consumables used, welding processes, number of welders,
type of parts and base material are essential data for ensuring your system is sized properly
and accommodates all of your weld fume control and plant needs.
