Portable and source-capture welding fume extractors for fabrication shops, weld stations, and industrial metalworking environments.
Built to help control welding smoke and metal fumes closer to the source in MIG, flux-core, stainless, galvanized, and general fabrication work.
AIR WELD is a portable welding fume extractor designed for fabrication benches, repair work, and stations where extraction needs to move with the job. Its articulated-arm style capture makes it a strong fit for shops that need flexible positioning without a fixed installation.
XM TORCH is a source-capture welding fume extractor designed to pull fumes directly from the welding torch at dedicated weld stations. It is well suited for repeat welding work where controlling welding smoke close to the arc is the priority.
In many welding applications, the goal is not just filtration after the fact, but controlling welding smoke before it spreads through the station or into surrounding production space.
Source-focused capture helps keep extraction working where it matters most—at or near the weld zone.
Certain welding applications place more demand on fume extraction than others, especially stainless steel welding, galvanized welding, and higher-fume metal fabrication work.
In those environments, portable welding fume extraction with an arm or direct torch source capture gives shops a more practical way to control welding smoke and metal fumes closer to where they are generated.
Depureco welding fume extractors are built for shops that need welding fume extraction that fits the way the work is actually done.
From portable welding fume extractors for flexible work areas to direct torch source capture for dedicated welding stations, the focus is on application fit, cleaner visibility at the weld zone, and better control of welding smoke without overcomplicating the setup.
When welding fume extraction needs extend beyond a single station, portable unit, or torch-mounted setup, a centralized system may be the better fit.
Visit our welding fumes case study to see how a multi-station metalworking operation used a centralized vacuum system for source-focused fume extraction.
Find answers to the most common questions about selecting and maintaining industrial welding fume extractors.
A fume extractor is a filtration unit that captures the airborne particles and gases produced during welding before they reach the welder’s breathing zone. It pulls contaminated air through a filter, traps the hazardous material, and returns clean air to the workspace. The method of capture varies depending on the unit and the application, but the goal is the same across all of them: get the fume out of the air before it becomes a health problem or a compliance issue.
Portable extraction is the better fit when work moves between benches, repair areas, or flexible stations and the shop needs welding fume control without a fixed installation.
Start with station layout, mobility needs, process type, and how close the extraction point needs to stay to the weld zone before comparing deeper product details.
Yes. Our extractors are engineered to help you meet and exceed OSHA standards (CFR 1910.252) for permissible exposure limits (PELs) to hazardous metals like hexavalent chromium and manganese by removing them from the air with HEPA-grade filtration.
Source capture pulls fume at the arc, through an extraction arm or directly at the torch, before it gets anywhere near the welder. Ambient filtration cleans the shop air but it is always playing catch-up. The exposure already happened. Every unit on this page is source capture. The question is not whether to capture at the source, it is which method works for your setup
