Professional W3 Certified Welding Workstations
The MasterWeld range of W3 Certified Welding Fume Extraction Benches has been developed to provide fabricators with a complete welding workstation that combines exceptional fume extraction performance with a heavy-duty industrial workbench. By integrating advanced downdraft extraction directly into the fabrication bench, welding fumes are captured close to their point of generation, helping improve workplace air quality whilst maintaining an uncluttered working environment.
Manufactured in Europe to demanding quality standards, every MasterWeld welding extraction bench incorporates high-performance W3 certified filtration capable of achieving filtration efficiencies greater than 99%. The advanced Sintexx Plus nanofibre cartridge filter provides outstanding filtration performance whilst maintaining excellent airflow, and is complemented by an integrated spark arrestor, differential pressure monitoring system, clogged filter alarm and easily accessible manual filter cleaning system. Together, these features help maximise extraction efficiency whilst minimising maintenance and downtime.
The perforated galvanised steel work surface provides full-area downdraft extraction, drawing contaminated air downwards through the bench before welding fumes can disperse throughout the workplace. This integrated source capture system is particularly effective for bench-based fabrication, repair work, maintenance operations and repetitive production welding where smaller and medium-sized components can be positioned directly on the work surface.
The range is available in two work surface sizes, 800 × 800mm and 1200 × 800mm, allowing users to select the most appropriate workstation for their fabrication requirements. Selected models are also available with an integrated UV welding screen to help shield nearby personnel from welding arc glare whilst maintaining excellent visibility of the work area.
Suitable for MIG, MAG, TIG and MMA welding applications, MasterWeld W3 Certified Welding Fume Extraction Benches provide an ideal solution for fabrication workshops, precision engineering, stainless steel manufacturing, automotive engineering, maintenance departments, educational training centres and industrial production facilities seeking a professional, self-contained welding workstation with exceptional extraction performance.
