Safety Update
Fume Extractor for Variety of Welding Applications
The PR weld-fume extractor from Movex Inc., Northhampton, PA, provides high positional stability, capture efficiency and maneuverability, enabling
it to fit virtually any welding application. It maintains low pres-

allows for simple cleaning and tension adjustment
without disas-
sembly. The PR
is available in diameters of 4,
5, 6 and 8 in. and in lengths from 5 to 36 ft. The
PR’s range enables it to cover the required working area while providing
a constant cfm exhaust volume. The arm can be equipped with LED light-
