Available from Praxair, DualDraw® self-contained downdraft tables feature a patented airflow design that helps protect operators from various dust- and fume-producing applications such as grinding and welding.

Particles and fume released while grinding and finishing can be hazardous to worker health and can lead to a number of problems if not collected and filtered from the air in your facility. Downdraft tables are designed to collect fumes and particles from welding and grinding areas to help keep your employees healthy and comfortable.    Praxair dualdraw downdraft table BG

Available from Praxair, DualDraw® self-contained downdraft tables feature a patented airflow design that helps protect operators from various dust- and fume-producing applications such as grinding and welding. The tables raw air downward and backward away from operators and the surrounding area, filter dust and particles, and then exhaust filtered air into the workspace. 

DualDraw patented air filtration solutions can help maintain cleaner indoor air and increase operational efficiencies. DualDraw systems help business owners and managers to effectively address and respond to the challenges of meeting indoor air quality regulations, such as those enforced by OSHA.

TB Series Enclosed Downdraft Tables

The DualDraw TB series encloses the downdraft table using the vented back stop, two fixed sides and a top with an overhead light fixture. Designed for maximum containment, this style works well for applications or processes that generate a high volume of particulate such as hand-plasma cutting. Units used for plasma smoke capture also incorporate special features to minimize risk of fire hazards.   Praxair dualdraw downdraft table FT
