Welding Solutions: Benchtron & Weldtron Workstations
Why choose workstations for welding? Backdraft and downdraft workstations offer an outstanding balance of contaminant control and freedom of movement, providing flexibility and protection for the welder, and maximum use of shop space as well:
- Containment: Workstations with enclosures prevent weld smoke and fume from escaping.
- Source Capture: Backdraft / downdraft tables pull the contaminants away from the welder's range of vision and breathing zone into the generous inlet and the filtration module.
- Energy Conservation: The clean, tempered air is then re-circulated back into the shop.
- Workstations also have the benefit of integral lighting, enhancing visibility all the more.
What are the advantages of the Benchtron? 
The cartridge-filter Benchtron workstation is a multi-purpose table that captures a generous amount of smoke and fume and also easily collects coarser dust particles, thus providing an ideal solution for accommodating welding as well as other industrial processes such as grinding or gouging. The standard Benchtron has both downdraft and backdraft inlets, and its vertical cartridge filters are equipped with a powerful self-cleaning system.
The Benchtron series includes single and double (back-to-back) tables, and offers a wide range of customizable options. Worksurfaces are generous, typically 30 inches deep and up to 12 feet wide.

What are the advantages of the Weldtron? 
The Weldtron is a compact backdraft workstation with panel filters, designed for use in schools and training facilites, and can also be used for light industrial welding. Each Weldtron is a completely self-contained work cell, ready to use, with no ducting or installation required. With smooth sides and back, multiple units may be placed back-to-back and side-to-side for maximum space economy in the welding lab.
The Weldtron is also designed for safety, its enclosure providing protection from arc strikes or sparks at adjacent welding stations, and its work surface being rubber-mounted for insulation. The Weldtron offers outstanding energy efficiency and very low maintenance requirements. For more about the features and options available, see Weldtron Backdraft Welding Tables.
