Extraction Arms
What are suction arms?
Suction arms are systems of localized air capture designed for use in situations where the available space, or the particular position, makes the use of a static extraction hood impractical or impossible.
Why are suction arms used?
The use of aspirating arms is ideal in those situations where reaching the point of generation of contaminants is particularly complex, and a hood would be too far away to do an efficient job.
Three are, specifically, the strengths of aspirating arms:
-
Low intrusiveness:being realizable in orientable and even telescopic configurations, the aspirating arms do not hinder the operator's work, guaranteeing at the same time the protection of an extremely localized capture of polluted air.
-
Versatility:Aspirating arms can be made in any imaginable configuration. They can be single elements, equipped with their own aspirator to work on a single workstation, or be connected to a single downstream aspirator to cover multiple workstations.
-
Mobility:it is possible to create aspirating arms mounted on wheels and completely autonomous, equipped with their own aspirator and filter, which can be easily moved and placed at the point of maximum utility. Similarly, aspirating columns can be used, also equipped with wheels, which connect via flexible tubing to the centralized aspiration system.
The reference legislation for cartridge filters is based on BAT (Best Available Technologies), which the tables of the Italian Regions refer to.
The application areas of aspirating arms
Bruno Balducci srl suction arms
As designers and manufacturers of our suction arms, here at Bruno Balducci srl we are able to customize each creation based on the application conditions, the sector of use and the air capture efficiency required by the customer.
We can develop fixed or articulated arms, orientable or telescopic, equipped with or without an independent aspirator – and in the case of wheeled units, also with a filter, and therefore completely mobile.
To meet any particular production need we can build arms with diameters from 50 to 200 mm, satisfying the needs of laboratories as well as workshops; the maximum length is over nine meters, to allow reaching any critical position. On request we can also produce suction arms in stainless steel, or complying with stringent ATEX regulations .
For laboratory applications where particular attention to aesthetics is required we are also able to offer, as distributors, the suction arms of ALSIDENT® SYSTEM.
