Improved Ventilation Systems in the Shop!


Ya can now breathe easier in metals shop while doing your work with our brand spankin’ new improved ventilation systems. We’re stoked to announce TWO Fred Jr. Fume Extractors have been installed in both the metal shop and Public Projects. 

These beasts are designed to filter fumes from both MIG and TIG welding while cleaning the air- making the shop cleaner and safer! Both machines are equipped with scrubbers for heavy suit and HEPA filter to clean the air!

Annnnnd THAT’S not all… we’re also excited to introduce a downdraft fume extractor for the plasma cutting station. This giant machine is designed to collect the dust and slag while purifying the air. The smoke is sucked up and cleaned by yet another HEPA filter.
