12332672 - Nederman NEX HD 2m Heavy Duty Welding Fume Extraction Arm

Heavy-Duty Industrial Fume Extraction

The Nederman NEX HD 2m Fume Extraction Arm (SKU: 12332672) is the premier solution for heavy-duty industrial air filtration needs. Engineered to handle environments with heavy smoke, vapours, and non-explosive dust, the NEX HD series distinguishes itself with robust construction and high-performance specifications. This specific model offers a 2-meter (6.6 ft) reach and a substantial 200mm (8-inch) diameter, allowing for significant airflow volumes ranging from 1050 to 1900 m³/h (600-1100 CFM). This capacity makes it exceptionally suitable for processes such as metal spraying, heavy MIG/MAG welding, and grinding operations where particulate generation is high.

Technically, the NEX HD is designed for longevity and low maintenance. The arm features a patented encapsulated support mechanism. This design isolates the articulating joints and balance system from the contaminated airstream, preventing dust ingress that typically causes wear and mechanical failure in lesser arms. The hose itself is constructed from PVC-coated woven glass fibre with a steel helix, providing durability and heat resistance up to 120°C (248°F). This thermal tolerance is critical for applications involving high-amperage welding or proximity to hot workpieces.

Installation and integration are streamlined via a robust swivel base that allows for 360-degree rotation. The unit can be mounted on walls using a bracket, extended with additional extension arms, or integrated into exhaust rail systems. The aerodynamic aluminium hood is equipped with a built-in damper, allowing operators to regulate airflow directly at the source. With a noise level of approximately 66 dB(A) at standard operation, it contributes to a safer and more compliant working environment.
