Kemper Awarded for Weld Fume Extraction

The CleanAirTower from Kemper GmbH (Vreden, Germany) has been awarded as the best product in the field of welding at the STOM trade fair, Poland’s most important platform for metal finishers. The general ventilation system was singled out by the independent panel of experts in particular due to its innovative function. The trade fair also highlighted that a further development in the Polish market was worthwhile, as the mobile extraction and filtering devices were the focus of many attendees, which led the company to prepare to be become more active in Poland.

“We are already synonymous on the Polish market for high-quality extraction and filter technology for the metal-processing industry,” says Poitr Kruk, who became the head of MEE Sales at Kemper last year. The Polish market has such increasing importance that the company invested heavily in the past year in building up a new dealer structure with a new team led by Kruk.

“Poland is an interesting growth market for us,” says Björn Kemper, the managing director of Kemper. “In terms of occupational safety and health, metalworking shops in that sector still need to catch up. We supply the appropriate technology to protect their employees.”

Their general ventilation system achieved the best score within the entire welding product range. The innovative function was the deciding factor. The system is designed in accordance with the recommended Displacement flow principle and also features a unique contamination-free dust disposal, which they have registered as a patent. The system extracts the hazardous substances in the welding fumes and filters out more than 99 percent of the particles — and the majority of the virtually indiscernible ultra-fine dust particles, providing effective work protection for welders.
