Nederman, the world’s leading brand in Industrial air filtration, has designed the portable FPS150 local fume extractor to be carried to and from the working area. If you are a welder who moves around frequently and you are looking to extract carcinogenic welding fume directly at the source, the lightweight FPS150 is the go-to extraction system in the welding industry. Designed and manufactured in Sweden, the FPS150 LEV system can connect to a welding torch for on gun extraction or to an extraction nozzle. With automatic start and stop this Local Exhaust Ventilation system is simple to operate and offers you effective collection and removal of welding fume.
Throw it in the ute, carry it on-site, and breathe easy knowing welding fume is being collected directly at the source.

Why Use Local Exhaust Ventilation?
- Welders present, on average, a 43% increased risk of lung cancer when compared with those who have never welded or been exposed to welding fume¹.
- In early 2017, welding fume was reclassified from IARC classification Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) to Group 1 (Carcinogenic to humans).
- Where substitution and reduction of hazardous chemicals in welding fume is not possible, engineering controls, such as LEV, as well as personal protective equipment must be introduced.
