Family-owned Melrose Kiwi
Concept Chairs has supplied
mobility products for more than
25 years, and is a major brand
for wheelchairs in New Zealand
and Australia.
The company’s Christchurchbased
manufacturing plant
employs six full time welders, with
other production staff, needing
effective fume extraction.
As the company has grown,
Melrose decided to centralise its
extraction system but wanted the
flexibility for each extraction point
to cover two bays. NZ Duct+Flex
visited the site to see how best to
achieve effective fume extraction
to fit with the workshop’s activity.
NZ Duct+Flex’s own installation
team has installed hundreds of
the blue and yellow European
sourced fume arms for welding
fumes, and here, six 160mm/4m
reach arms were used, with a
mobile FumeCube, for specialist
work carried out in different parts
of the workshop.
“Our suppliers have been around
for decades and their products
have been tried and tested and
enhanced over this time,” says
sales manager, Geoff Ebdon.
“All our fume solutions are
also sourced from two major
European suppliers ensuring
value for money and products
that actually do the job.”
Annette Melrose confirmed that
all is running really well, with
greatly improved air quality for
staff.
The fume arm range is very
robust with metal tube arms and
hoods, external hinging meaning
the debris being exhausted
cannot cause the hinging to
wear or become jammed (low
maintenance).
All fume arms are in stock,
available for immediate delivery
from 75mm dia/1m up to 160mm
dia/4m reach. Extraction arms
can be driven by a fume fan,
or for larger workshops with a
centralised system, a JKF fan can
be used.
For mobile solutions there are
one or two arm fume cube units
– a solid but compact mobile unit
with pre-mesh filter for sparks,
pull out cartridge filter and fan all
in one unit.
