Fume Dog - Platen Downdraft Table Fume Extractor - (FumeDog-DDT-PLAT)

Fume Dog's downdraft extractors do an excellent job of filtering fumes and keeping your lungs healthy.

Welders often get exposed to toxic elements while working, including nitrogen, hydrogen fluoride, argon, and more. Due to the high risks associated with welding, there are several regulations in place to avoid considerable health problems in the future.

Not having a fume extractor in your working space greatly increases the chances of you (or your team) suffering from severe health complications, including constant irritation, lung damage, stomach ulcers, kidney damage, and more.

Downdraft extractors get used in different industries besides welding (including cooking, which uses a cooktop to filter dust, steam, and even grease particles). These also get used in the sanding industry to capture dust and other harmful elements. Here, however, the extraction table focuses on capturing welding fumes, which are known for causing the most damage to humans than the other options mentioned before.

Welding is a fun activity with a lot of job demand out there, but if you want to specialize in it, you must ensure you're complying with all the health and safety regulations available. The Platen Fume Extractor from Fume Dog is among the best solutions to improve your welding experience, and that's because of its premium build.

There are other alternatives to extract welding fumes, so why choose the Platen Table, which is on the expensive side? It all comes down to the features.

If you're looking for something that can accommodate different welding applications, this may be the right option to consider. On the other hand, the tabletop here is made of cast steel, providing a high-quality welding surface to work on.

Due to the machine's quality build, you won't have to worry about shifting parts or unwanted moving. Once you set everything up, it'll stay in place regardless of how you approach it when working. This extractor is for those looking for extra quality and stability while they're welding.

At first glance, the Platen Table from Fume Dog may look like a regular downdraft extractor. However, the key is in the details. One of the features that welders will appreciate the most is the fact that it comes with an "Air Stream Filter Cleaner."

Fume extractor filters tend to degrade fast considering their use. Thanks to the filter cleaner provided by Fume Dog, you could extend the filter's life about five or six times the average period. This is convenient, as you'll save money and time on frequent maintenance.

The Platen Table also offers easy clamping whenever you want on the top or sides of the table. If you're planning on using third-party 5/8" or 16mm tools or clamps, you can also do it with no extra effort.

Finally, the fact that this extractor has a strict load of 700 lbs means that you won't have to look for extra welding solutions to get your work done. All you need to keep your workspace safe and your air quality high is right in the extractor.

The Platen Table was designed for a variety of uses, including:

• MIG and TIG Welding
• Stick Welding
• Grinding
• 1-2 Shifts

If you don't have an appropriate solution to avoid getting exposed to toxic fumes, or your current extractor isn't doing the job, it would be wise to invest in the Platen Table from Fume Dog. It offers a durable build, amazing features, and many applications, making it a solid purchase for most professional welders.
