Nederman highlights GoMax fume extraction unit
Environmental technology and industrial air filtration company Nederman, based in Helsingborg, Sweden, has highlighted the use of its Fume Eliminator GoMax fume extraction unit. With intelligent, on-torch fume extraction, the GoMax captures hazardous welding fumes directly at the source, which is critical in high-precision fabrication environments where lasers, robotics, and manual welding generate concentrated airborne particulates.
GoMax is designed for robotic, cobot and manual welding applications, capturing welding fumes directly at the source before they spread into the workplace atmosphere. This helps reduce the risk of exposure to harmful particles and supports a safer and cleaner working environment. Its mobile design allows for easy relocation, and it can also be mounted on the wall to save floor space.
“GoMax represents an important advancement in weld fume extraction, providing a user-friendly and cost-effective solution for both automated and manual welding,” stated Sara Kozma, Strategic Product Manager at Nederman. “By capturing harmful fumes directly at the source, we can significantly reduce operator exposure during welding.”
Whether manually activated or automatically controlled by a welding torch or robot, GoMax automatically regulates the pressure to maintain the required airflow and performs automatic filter cleaning when needed.
Welding fumes are classified as a Class 1 carcinogen, making fume control essential for creating safe and productive workplaces and supporting compliance with applicable health and safety requirements. GoMax is equipped with highly efficient nanofiber filter media, with an optional HEPA filter, which effectively captures extremely fine fume particles in an energy-efficient way.
GoMax is designed to enhance productivity by serving up to two workstations or torches simultaneously. High airflow at high negative pressure enables effective extraction for confined, temporary and permanent workstations. Accessories allow users to tailor air management to their facility, including optional HEPA filtration on the outlet and the ability to connect a hose to exhaust air outdoors instead of recirculating it.
According to Nederman, the system can reduce energy consumption by up to 25% compared to alternative welding fume extraction solutions.
