Self-Supporting Fume Arms - SIFA

Ventaire’s self-supporting fume arms are the premier solution for extracting welding fumes from the workplace. The SIFA fume arm supports are located outside the airstream allowing for unobstructed airflow through the entire arm and provides minimal pressure drop compared to internally supported fume arms.
Articulation of these arms is convenient, simply performed by grabbing the handle located on the inlet hood and positioning it to the ideal location. The SIFA fume arms can be ducted to a central exhaust fan or provided with a direct mount pressure blower. The high-quality construction of Ventaire’s SIFA fume arm provides years of use with minimal maintenance.
