Plymovent Stationary Filter Units FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and running stationary welding fume filter units.

What is a stationary filter unit and where is it used?

A stationary filter unit is a fixed fan and filter assembly that draws contaminated air from one or more extraction points, cleans it and either returns it to the workshop or discharges it. Sizes range from small units serving a single arm to central systems serving a whole workshop.

They suit permanent welding stations, production lines, cutting tables and general fume and dust control.

How do I decide on the size and airflow I need?

Add up the airflow needed at every extraction point that will run at the same time, then allow for duct resistance and some margin. Arm length, hood size, the process and the number of welders all affect the figure.

A unit that is too small will not capture fume properly, while one that is too large wastes energy. A system designer or the supplier can work through this with you, so ask our team to help you choose.

Can the cleaned air be returned to the workshop?

Often yes, if the filter is rated for the fume and the process does not give off hazardous gases or vapours the filter cannot remove. Returning air saves heating energy and avoids drawing cold air in through the building.

Check the manufacturer's guidance and your risk assessment. Stainless steel, coated materials and some consumables need extra care, and some applications require discharge to the outside instead.

What electrical and compressed air connections are needed?

Larger units normally need a three-phase supply, while smaller ones may run from single phase. Self-cleaning types need a supply of clean, dry compressed air at a stated pressure, unless the unit has its own compressor.

The data plate and manual list the requirements. Electrical connection and air connections should be made by competent people, and the fan rotation should be checked at commissioning.
