Translas Welding Torch Fume Extraction Systems

Translas, an innovative Dutch manufacturer, offers extremely user-friendly welding fume extraction systems, with the highest capture rate and duty cycle in the industry. Welding fumes have been increasingly under the spotlight in recent years, following a change in enforcement expectations by the HSE. It has been proven that general ventilation alone does not provide sufficient protection from welding fumes and scientific evidence provides a direct link to cases of lung cancer and neurological disorders, in addition to other more common health issues such as Asthma. As a result of this all businesses performing welding activities have a responsibility to provide effective engineering controls to minimise this risk. The Translas system is the safest, most effective method of controlling this, with up to 98% of welding fumes being captured directly at source, along with a high level of operator satisfaction.

Unlocking Efficiency & Precision: Why UK Manufacturers Are Moving to Tube Laser Cutting

Unlocking Efficiency & Precision: Why UK Manufacturers Are Moving to Tube Laser Cutting

In modern metal manufacturing, staying competitive requires balancing speed, precision, and operational efficiency. Traditional tube processing methods, such as sawing, drilling, punching, and manual deburring, are notoriously labor-intensive and prone to human error. Each additional handling stage introduces potential for delay, increased costs, and inconsistency.

The Impact of the Defence Sector on UK Metal Fabrication Demand

The Impact of the Defence Sector on UK Metal Fabrication Demand

UK defence spending is rising at a pace not seen since the Cold War, and for metal fabricators with the right capabilities, that represents a significant commercial opportunity. Understanding where the demand is coming from, and what it means for workshop investment, is worth the attention of any fabrication business looking to grow.

Welding Fume Extraction: Improving Safety, Compliance and Productivity

Welding Fume Extraction: Improving Safety, Compliance and Productivity

In recent years, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has placed welding fumes under closer scrutiny, with scientific evidence linking exposure to a range of health issues, including lung cancer, neurological disorders, and asthma. Employers have a duty to provide a safe and healthy working environment for their staff, which includes putting effective controls in place to manage exposure to welding fumes — general ventilation on its own is not enough to adequately mitigate the risks. Although welders themselves may be adequately protected by PPE, the HSE has placed particular emphasis on other employees who share the same workspace.
