Extraction fitment points and ratings
These Fume Kit specifications cover the parts and fitment details for extraction support on the cutter. Review them against your plant ventilation setup and the way the cell is positioned on the floor.
Check the fan duty, hose diameter, and hood position against the cutter model before ordering parts. Fine carbon steel dust behaves differently to stainless fumes, so the extraction load must suit the material mix on site. In Gauteng plants, dry airborne dust often makes filter condition checks more important between service intervals.
The spec sheet should be read with the machine layout and the duct run to the collection unit. Measure the connection height, available side clearance, and the distance from the bed to the pickup point before fitment starts. Where generators and load-shedding change start-up routines, confirm the extractor restart settings after power returns.
Included checks before installation
Confirm motor voltage, mounting hardware, and the gasket surfaces before the kit is unpacked at the cell. A poor seal at one joint can drop capture performance across the whole line. For sheet metal production, it also helps to note whether light gauge cutting or thicker plate work is the main daily load.
Use these notes with the machine record so the extractor connection, pipe direction, and filter access are all logged clearly. Compare the listed components with current stock before booking any dispatch or site work. Sheet metal cell enquiries should name the materials, the thickest sheet you cut and the spares you keep on hand.
- Duct size matched to cutter airflow
- Filter access checked before first cut
- Mounting points listed for site prep
Plant conditions affecting extraction performance
Coastal sites around Durban and Cape Town need closer attention to corrosion on clamps, housings, and exposed fasteners. Inland factories often deal with drier ambient dust that builds up around cable trays and extraction joints. Allow for forklift routes, existing ducting, and the machine position when checking where the fume line will run.
Power interruptions can leave dampers, fans, or control relays out of sequence after a stop. After any outage, inspect airflow indication, listen for abnormal bearing noise, and confirm the collector starts with the cutter as intended. Where multiple machines share one system, note the other extraction loads active during peak production.

Site data needed for this kit
Send the cutter model, extraction photos, and the current duct dimensions with any request for review. Add material types, average sheet thickness, and whether the machine cuts mainly mild steel, stainless, or aluminium.
Record the fan plate details, filter type, and any alarm codes seen on the extraction unit. Keep those notes with the maintenance file so procurement and service staff can match the correct Fume Kit parts later.
