- Braden Carvell

Bison Machinery is excited to showcase the latest in welding fume extraction technology from European manufacturer Translas at The Health & Safety Event 2025, running from 8-10 April at the NEC, Birmingham.
Visit us at Stand 3/Q114 to see first-hand how these torch-integrated welding fume extraction systems are setting a new standard for safety and productivity in welding environments.
Why Welding Fume Extraction Matters
Welding fumes have long been a significant concern for workplace health and safety, with exposure linked to serious health issues such as lung cancer, asthma and neurological disorders.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) continues to scrutinise these risks, with a growing emphasis on protecting not only the welders but also personnel in the surrounding areas. While personal protective equipment (PPE) offers some protection, it’s clear that comprehensive, effective extraction systems are essential for a safe working environment.
That’s where Translas comes in.
Translas: Leading the Way in Welding Fume Extraction
Translas is at the forefront of welding fume extraction technology. Unlike many traditional systems, Translas’ extraction systems are integrated directly into the welding torch, offering unmatched flexibility, efficiency and safety.
Key Benefits of Translas Welding Torch Extraction:
- Up to 98% Capture Rate – Translas systems capture most of the fumes at source, ensuring a healthier work environment.
- 100% Duty Cycle – Translas systems require no downtime for cooling, offering continuous operation throughout your working hours.
- Self-Cleaning Technology – Translas systems are virtually maintenance-free, reducing the need for constant attention and ensuring long-term performance.
Discover the Range of Translas Torch Extraction Solutions
Translas offers a variety of welding torch extraction systems suited to different welding processes:
8XE MIG
Integrates fume extraction directly into the MIG torch head. Available in multiple angles and lengths to suit various positions and applications.
8TE TIG
The world’s first TIG welding torch with integrated fume extraction.
8XC Cobot
A specialised solution for robotic and automated welding systems, ensuring consistent fume extraction during automated operations.
These systems are paired with powerful ClearO2 extraction units, equipped with HEPA filtration and automatic start/stop functionality to optimise energy use and extend filter life.
