Kemper’s parameters database for 100 torches optimizes VacuFil i fume extraction

Kemper has developed a torch database for effective torch extraction. The data pool, with the parameters of about 100 torch models, provides the basis for the optimum capture of substances by the VacuFil i series of high-vacuum extraction units.

The manufacturer developed a test station and, on the basis of the international standard DIN EN ISO 21904, specified the relevant parameters for optimum welding fume extraction, such as the required vacuum for the air volume flow and the resultant extraction capacity. The data, which varies according to the extraction torch, is incorporated in the database.

The stored parameters automatically define the required extraction capacity of the extraction units. When welders connect the extraction unit to an extraction torch, they select the connected torch via the touchscreen, and the device automatically and permanently regulates the optimum extraction capacity, even adjusting it to changes in external conditions.
