Hi all !
My company is investing in new cnc 3d bevel plasma cutting system, to replace old 2d one. It will be 2.5x10 meter of working area, as you can imagine, pretty big plates will be cut on this machine (with additional flame cutting head, plates up to 250mm thickness also). As we can imagine, this means A LOT of fumes going out. Right now we have standard dry (downdraft) table, with pretty costly air filtering unit etc. We are considering also water table with built in transporter for automatic slag removal. We saw this table in action by competition and we were impressed with minimal fumes. However, we will also be cutting stainless plates on same machine, which means water will make some sort of surface contamination from previously cut ''black'' material.
Do you have any similiar experience of that matter ? I heard there can be some additives for water to avoid that, but I d not have any informaion.
I will apreciate any comment !
