Case Studies
Air Purification has established a new and innovative approach to evaluating and testing new equipment as it comes on the market to assure that we can offer our customers the most efficient and productive equipment available.
CASE STUDY: Vocational College in Eastern Tennessee
Project: Welding Department Redesign and Upgrade
Photos: See before and after photos below.
Existing equipment: Exhaust fan and canopy hoods for each weld station. Home made grinding bench.
Please contact us to arrange for a visit or a demonstration!
Problem: Students breathing zone was not protected as the weld smoke would rise to the canopy hood through the breathing zone. Not enough air flow to adequately capture weld smoke and grinding dust.

Problem: Students breathing zone was not protected as the weld smoke would rise to the canopy hood through the breathing zone. Not enough air flow to adequately capture weld smoke and grinding dust.
Solution: Micro Air Model RP8-2 12,000 CFM cartridge collector, 12 Air Flow Systems telescoping source capture arms for each welding booth and three Air Flow Systems E-Z arms for their larger work tables. One E-Z Arm installed with 10' boom arm for reaching throughout open area in the welding lab. By using source capture arms, the students no longer have to breathe the welding fumes. Arms are positioned as needed to completely protect their breathing zone.
Additionally, three spark arrestors were installed in the duct work before the RP8-2 collector for added safety and fire protection. Exhaust from the RP8-2 collector is ducted with a "y" valve. This allows us to return the clean heated air in the winter time to the welding lab saving the school on heating expenses. This valve also allows us to keep the air outside during the summer months. In addition to the weld smoke system, Air Purification, Inc also installed an Ari Flow Systems down draft table for their grinding applications. The down draft table is split in half with a dividing wall allowing two students to grind at the same time on the same table.
This complete system will keep their welding lab safer and looking new and clean. All equipment used in this school is heavy duty industrial air cleaning equipment. Their students are now being exposed to the same equipment they will be using in a welding position.
