Fumex

High-efficiency industrial fume extraction

High-efficiency industrial air filtration and fume extraction, capturing airborne pollutants at source across industrial and laboratory settings.

01 — About Fumex

Fume extraction

Caught at the source, not filtered out of the room

Principle

Fumex is a leading provider of high-efficiency industrial air filtration and fume extraction, dedicated to healthier work environments by removing airborne pollutants effectively, and brings more than 30 years of experience.

Range

The range covers extraction arms, fans and filters engineered to capture and contain harmful gases and particles right where they are generated, for both industrial and laboratory applications.

Service

A commitment to speed in service, support and delivery means specifications are met promptly, which is the difference between a compliant workshop and a stalled one.

02 — Fumex at work

See it doing the job it's built for

The same arms, in four very different rooms: welding bays, laboratories, ATEX-classified sites and vehicle workshops. What changes is the hose, the material and the certification, not the principle: capture it at the source, before it reaches anyone's lungs.

  • Industrial & welding: extraction in use

    Industrial & welding

    Welding fume, grinding dust and oil mist, caught at the torch rather than filtered out of the whole room.

  • Laboratory: extraction in use

    Laboratory

    Compact, low-noise extraction positioned precisely over bench work. It captures without disturbing the person next to it.

  • ATEX & explosive: extraction in use

    ATEX & explosive

    Certified capture of combustible dust and gas on classified sites, with conductive hose and earthed construction throughout.

  • Vehicle exhaust: extraction in use

    Vehicle exhaust

    Exhaust gas taken from the tailpipe of an idling engine, before it reaches the workshop floor.

03 — The Fumex range

The extraction arm range, by where it has to work

Wrong arm, and you are just moving the problem around the room. External joints and aluminium construction keep the pressure drop low and hold the arm exactly where you put it, so the difference between these is the environment, not the engineering.

04 — Size it before you buy

Which arm actually reaches the job?

Two tools, depending on how far you need to go. Fumex's own specifies the whole assembly (arm, bracket and hood) and exports a spec sheet. Ours answers the question most people arrive with: which arm actually reaches, and the part number to order it by.

Fumex Manufacturer's design tool Specify the whole assembly Fumex's own tool goes down to false-ceiling height, side displacement and the exact arm, bracket and hood codes, then exports a spec sheet. Send that over and we will quote it. Open the Fumex design tool Opens on fumex.se. Results are indicative, so confirm the final specification with us Extractability Free sizing tool Work out which extraction arm you need Five questions and your ceiling height, and it shows the Fumex arm and bracket that fit, plus a scale drawing of the reach. About a minute, no sign-in. Find the right arm

05 — Common questions

Before you order

How do I know which arm length I need?

Use the extraction arm configurator: answer five questions about your ceiling height, mounting point and working height, and it draws the reach to scale and names the arm that covers the job. If the answer sits between two models, send us the drawing and we will confirm it.

Can Fumex arms be fitted to an existing filter or fan unit?

In most cases, yes. The arms are sized by hose diameter, from 75mm to 200mm. Tell us the model of your current filter or fan and the duct size and we will confirm compatibility before you order.

Do you supply ATEX-rated arms for explosive atmospheres?

Yes. The PSR EXD and PR EXD ranges are rated for combustible dust, and the PR EXC range for gas and chemical vapour with a chemical-resistant polyethylene hose. Which one applies depends on your zone classification, so confirm it with us rather than working from the product page alone.

What is the difference between an extraction arm and a welding table?

An arm is positioned by the operator over each job, so it suits work that moves or is too big to sit on a bench. A back-draft table like the TW has extraction built into the bench itself. There's nothing to reposition, which is the right answer where the same repetitive job is done all day.
