Welding & Plasma Cutting Smoke Removal Case Study

AIS, a construction equipment dealership for John Deere and Komatsu, specializes in fabricating attachments and modifying and repairing heavy equipment for customers.

They have anywhere from 3-6 machine operators working at one time and were experiencing challenges with plasma cutting and welding smoke. Their primary issue was a thick haze that wouldn't clear for up to an hour after plasma cutting. During the welding process, smoke would also fill the facility up.

Our team developed an efficient airflow pattern and installed Blue Ox OX3000 and OX3200 air cleaners. The smoke that filled up the facility during welding processes has been eliminated! And the plasma cutting haze has been greatly improved - generally, the air is clear within 5 minutes of cutting.
