Tayco Case Study
Fume Control in Large Weld Cells
Overview 
Since 1976, Tayco has been a Canadian manufacturer of high quality workplace furnishings. Tayco’s product offering and services have evolved with the changing demands of the marketplace.
The Problem
In 2001, DiversiTech installed a small fume extraction system which continues to do the job today. With this in mind, Tayco called on us to set up their new welding cell. Unfortunately, the welding fixtures were too large to accommodate a source capture system.
The Solution
Instead, an overhead canopy hood system ducted to a FRED-02C was designed and installed. Operators were still required to wear masks however smoke from the process could now be captured by the hood before becoming a general nuisance. The FRED-02C cleans its own filter every time you turn it off. The patented ICS-360 Injection Self-cleaning System uses shop air to blow dust and smoke off of the cartridge filter and into a dust drawer for removal.
