Using dry filtration to capture plasma cutting fumes

摘要

The plasma cutting processes used to cut mild steel, stainless steel, and other metals generate fine particulate dust and fumes that can be harmful to workers, machinery, and electronics if not properly controlled. One solution is the use of dry downdraft tables (see Figure 1) with integrated dust and fume collectors and built-in ducts that convey contaminants to the collector for capture and removal.
