Training Welders in Oman

With high-quality occupational safety equipment being used at the Welding Center of Excellence in Oman, the first 50 welding apprentices have successfully completed their training. The new welding training center in Oman’s capital, Muscat, is equipped with technology by Kemper GmbH (Vreden, Germany). The manufacturer of extraction and filter systems for the metal processing industry has supplied all of the center’s occupational safety equipment, which includes welding cabins made from noise-absorbing cassettes and protective plating for each welding station, as well as a smooth-running cantilever extraction arm to capture harmful substances.

A total of 100 welding cabins are connected to four central Kemper System 9,000 extraction systems, which reliably filter even ultra-fine nanoparticles from the air. “The fact that our products are being used in this type of project in the Middle East is a real testament to their quality,” says Björn Kemper, the managing director of Kemper.

The project is backed by the company RAY International Skills Development, which started to construct the training center in 2014. The resulting facility is one of the largest and most modern welding training workshops in the entire region, allowing 100 trainee welders to learn the trade at any one time, over an area of 1,500 sq m. There are currently 200 welders being trained at the center in two separate shifts.

Kemper is a manufacturer of extraction and filter systems for the metal-processing industry. This medium-size family company with a registered office in Vreden, Westphalia, is a technology leader with its highly efficient extraction systems that are capable of filtering even ultra-fine dust particles from the air that are generated together with welding fumes.

The company’s product portfolio includes the extraction tables for the cutting processes and an entire range of accessories regarding occupational safety and air pollution control for the metal-processing industry as well as the electrical industry and car industry. Founded in 1977 they have approximately 300 employees to-date. Headquartered in Vreden, they also have a production site in Prague (Czech Republic). The company is represented all over the world with its eight subsidiaries and numerous permanent trading partners.
