02 — Fumex at work
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.
Welding fume, grinding dust and oil mist, caught at the torch rather than filtered out of the whole room.
Compact, low-noise extraction positioned precisely over bench work. It captures without disturbing the person next to it.
Certified capture of combustible dust and gas on classified sites, with conductive hose and earthed construction throughout.
Exhaust gas taken from the tailpipe of an idling engine, before it reaches the workshop floor.
03 — The Fumex range
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.
Industrial Standard Fumex General-Purpose Industrial Extraction Arms – PR STD The everyday arm, in the sizes most bays need. External-mounted hose arm from 100mm to 160mm, the default choice for general welding and grinding extraction. View range
Industrial Heavy duty Fumex Heavy-Duty Industrial Extraction Arms – PRX For the fumes that would eat a standard arm alive. Tubed PRX arm from 125mm to 200mm, with a higher temperature tolerance and tougher handling for the harshest bays. View range
Industrial Stainless Fumex Hygienic Stainless Steel Extraction Arms – PSS Where the extraction has to be washed down too. 316L stainless arm from 100mm to 200mm in 2m, 3m and 4m lengths, for food, pharmaceutical and corrosive environments. View range
Industrial Bench Fumex TW Back-Draft Welding & Grinding Table Extraction already built into the bench. The TW back-draft welding and grinding table: no arm to reposition, and no excuse to skip it. View range
Industrial Enclosure Fumex Enclosed Workstation Extraction Hoods – DSK (Backside Connection) Don't chase the fume. Box it in. The DSK enclosure encapsulates the source and captures by containment, with the ducting connected at the back. View range
ATEX rated ATEX Dust, PU hose Fumex ATEX Dust Extraction Arms – PR EXD The same certification, on a lighter arm. PR EXD with polyurethane hose, for ATEX-rated dust extraction where a full stainless arm is more than the job needs. View range
ATEX rated ATEX Gas & chemical Fumex ATEX Chemical-Resistant Extraction Arms – PR EXC For vapour that attacks the arm as well as the operator. PR EXC with chemical-resistant polyethylene hose, ATEX-rated for gas and solvent vapour rather than dust. View range
Laboratory Bench Fumex Laboratory & Workbench Extraction Arms – ME STD (MEB Table Mount) World-leading in labs for a reason. The MEB tubed arm, table-mounted and sized for bench work. It's precise to position and quiet enough to sit beside. View range
Laboratory Overhead Fumex Laboratory & Workbench Extraction Arms – ME STD (MET Ceiling or Wall Mount) Bench space back, extraction still overhead. The MET arm mounted to the ceiling or wall, for labs where nothing more can be clamped to the bench. View range
Laboratory Instruments Fumex MEX AAF Extraction Hood — Square, Stainless Built for hot, hostile instrument air. The MEX AAF stainless hood, rated for the hot polluted air off instruments such as atomic absorption spectrometers. View range
Laboratory Compact Fumex MiniTEX External Mounted Hose Extraction Arm Low pressure drop, honest airflow. MiniTEX: a small wall or ceiling-mounted arm engineered for minimal resistance, where extraction capacity is already tight. View range
Vehicle Large vehicles ASA Exhaust Extraction System — For Large Vehicles Fumes from an idling truck don't wait for you to open a window. The ASA balance-block exhaust system, built for the high exhaust temperatures of trucks, plant and emergency vehicles. View range 04 — Size it before you buy
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 arm05 — Common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
