Salina__dee tests TIG extraction torch

Anyone who does not see fumes during TIG welding can easily underestimate the health risks posed by harmful emissions. However, these welding fumes – which are usually highly harmful to health – are present and are released into the ambient air. This is exactly where the xFUME® TIG comes in: The extraction torch captures the fumes right where they are generated. The approach: extraction at source.

For this hands-on test, Salina Schmitt – better known as Salina__dee  – puts it to the test. As professional TIG welder and systems mechanic, she has become one of the most prominent voices in the young welding community through her social media channels. There, she shares expert knowledge from her day-to-day work, documents her own projects, and encourages more women to venture into crafts.

In the video, Salina demonstrates how the xFUME® TIG from ABICOR BINZEL performs in practice. Particularly interesting: Despite its integrated fume extraction system, handling is comparable to that of a standard TIG welding torch. Her conclusion is correspondingly positive. The torch fits comfortably in the hand as usual, the welding fumes are reliably extracted directly at the source, and the welding results are impressive across the board.
