Clean Air Gun Reduces Weld Fume and Smoke

Bernard’s redesigned Clean AirFume Extraction Gun has a crush- and snag-resistant vacuum hose that maximizes maneuverability and limits hang-ups on nearby equipment or fixtures.

Posted: February 11, 2016

Ideal for reducing weld fume and smoke in almost any medium- to heavy-duty solid or flux-cored welding application, the newly redesigned Clean Air Fume Extraction Gun from Bernard is lighter and smaller than many standard fume extraction guns. It uses an easy-to-slide nozzle shroud on the front of the gun that adjusts to one of four fixed positions to optimize weld fume capture, gas flow and weld access. The gun comes in 400 amp, 500 amp and 600 amp models with a 45 deg or 60 deg neck bend to maximize wire feeding. (view one)

Bernard (Beecher, IL) has redesigned their Clean Air™ Fume Extraction Gun to be lighter and smaller than many standard fume extraction guns, providing welding operators with a more comfortable option for reducing weld fume and smoke. The new lighter-weight and smaller gun is nearly the same dimensions as a regular Semi-Automatic MIG Gun and is ideal for almost any medium- to heavy-duty solid or flux-cored welding application. To optimize weld fume capture, gas flow and weld access, the Clean Air Fume Extraction Gun features an easy-to-slide nozzle shroud on the front of the gun that adjusts to one of four fixed positions. The small size of the vacuum chamber further improves welding operator comfort and control by providing good joint access and visibility, while a 360 deg vacuum hose swivel on the rear of the handle improves flexibility and reduces wrist fatigue. A rubber overmold on the handle adds to operator comfort and control.

The Clean Air Fume Extraction Gun has a crush- and snag-resistant vacuum hose that maximizes maneuverability and limits hang-ups on nearby equipment or fixtures. The hose is durable enough to eliminate the need for a bulky vacuum hose cover in most applications and features threaded connections for easy replacement. This gun comes in 400 amp, 500 amp and 600 amp models with a 45 deg or 60 deg neck bend to maximize wire feeding. The gun is compatible with Centerfire™, Quik Tip™ or TOUGH LOCK™ Consumables, as well as QUICK LOAD™ Liners or Universal Conventional Liners, and can be paired with vacuum systems from most major manufacturers.
