On the Road Again: Our Fabtech 2011 Recap

Dynamic Filtration had quite the week in Chicago! After a few days at Filtration 2011, our next stop was not too far down the lake shore, at the annual Fabtech expo and conference. From filter frames to vacuum equipment, the metalworking show housed an unparalleled level of expertise, knowledge, and cutting-edge technology, and we had plenty to see. One of the developments that we were most excited about, though, was a new line of portable welding smoke extractors by a longtime partner for whom we provide filter media.

Portable welding smoke extractors are an indispensable and ingenious creation that make workplace – and worker – safety as easy as plugging in a lightweight and moderately sized unit. Rather than installing an integrated, unwieldy, and costly extraction system, these units ease that burden, allowing for much greater flexibility to protect welding personnel. Like any suction system, filtration is important in keeping the vacuum chamber just that – a vacuum. Taking a look at these newer lines of portable smoke and fume extractors enables us to keep building the most effective filters possible, maintaining the highest level of operation for these machines.

Our week on the road was, as always, eye-opening, educational, and fun! Any other Fabtech attendees out there? Please share your stories with us!
