Which model suits you?
KUA-160 (Ø 160 mm)
The versatile choice for maintenance and production welding and
workbench applications. Available in lengths of 2, 3, or 4 meters and can
be mounted in both standing and suspended configurations. Suitable for
medium to large quantities of welding fumes, gases, and oil mist. Recommended
airflow 800 to 1200 m³/h.
KUA-200 (Ø 200 mm)
The heavy-duty choice for medium to large workplaces
where intensive welding takes place. The larger tube diameter of 200 mm provides a
significantly higher airflow than the KUA-160, making it ideal for
industrial environments with high smoke generation. Available in 3 or 4
meters, exclusively for suspended mounting, with a standard built-in shut-off valve.
Recommended airflow up to a maximum of 1600 m³/h.
Both models achieve a maximum reach of up to 8.5 meters with an extension arm.
Features & highlights
- Both KUA models share the same proven construction:
- Universal mounting bracket with ball bearing and friction plate for 360-degree rotation and a long service life
- Spring-supported support mechanism for stability, smooth operation and minimal resistance.
- 360-degree ring handle for easy operation from any position
- Smooth aluminum tube for maximum airflow, lower weight and lower noise level
- Removable hood with safety mesh for user protection and easy maintenance
Recommended use:
- Maintenance and production welding
- Workbench applications
- Welding fume extraction in small to large workshops
- Industrial environments with intense smoke development (especially KUA-200)
- Workplaces that require high airflow

Product description
The KUA is a heavy-duty family of aluminum tube extraction arms, designed to capture welding fumes, gases, and oil mist directly at the source. The range offers two diameters, allowing you to match the arm to your workload: the KUA-160 with a 160 mm (6 in) tube for small to medium-sized workplaces, and the KUA-200 with a 200 mm (8 in) tube, providing a significantly higher airflow for medium to large workplaces with intensive fume generation. Whichever model you choose, you'll get the same proven construction and the airflow demanded by challenging extraction applications.
What sets the KUA apart is its combination of smooth aluminum inner and outer tubes, an externally mounted center joint that can be adjusted without tools, and spring-assisted joints with double ball bearings. This construction allows the arm to move precisely with one hand, stay in place once positioned, and reduce user fatigue during long shifts. The aluminum tube keeps the arm relatively light, maximizes airflow, and limits noise levels.
The hood is one of the KUA's most distinctive features. With an opening of 340 mm (13.4 in), movable up to 85° in four directions, the hood positions itself exactly where extraction is needed. The 360° ring handle gives the user complete control from any angle, while the removable hood with safety mesh protects the user and simplifies maintenance. A sealed shut-off and control damper ensures reliable airflow regulation. The KUA-200 includes this control damper as standard, while the shut-off damper is optional for the KUA-160.
The KUA combines with powerful Plymovent filter units and fans, including the FUA, WallPro, SCS, and MDB systems. For workplaces requiring a larger reach, combine the arm with the FlexMax extension crane (up to 8.5 m / 28 ft total reach) or the wall-mounted NEC extension crane to cover large or multiple work areas.
Reliable, high-quality source extraction solution
The KUA is the right choice when welders and metalworkers need an extraction arm that can handle serious smoke volumes without compromise. Choose the KUA-160 for maintenance and production welding, workbench applications, and small to medium-sized workplaces, or step up to the KUA-200 when a larger diameter, robust construction, and a large hood are needed to provide the airflow and reach for industrial applications. In both cases, the smooth movement and stable positioning make the arm comfortable to use during demanding production shifts.
You will typically find the KUA in welding workshops, metalworking companies, the automotive industry, structural steel manufacturing, and industrial environments where source extraction is essential to protect personnel from hazardous airborne contaminants. Start with the KUA-160 for everyday welding, and choose the KUA-200 for larger welding workshops and heavy metalworking where the lighter model simply cannot keep up with the amount of smoke generated.
