KEMPER is a leader in welding fume extraction technology and is one of the suppliers here at VODEX. The company is one of our favourites not just for its great products and innovations, but also for its commitment to the cause of health and safety.

In December 2019, KEMPER came out with a product and a fundraising campaign that demonstrate both of our points quite beautifully.

Here they are, along with some other updates.

KEMPERbeats

At Blechexpo in Stuttgart, KEMPER showcased its latest innovation in welding fume extraction technology – KEMPERbeats. This is a Bluetooth-enabled speaker system in the extraction hood that allows welders to play music from their smartphones while they work, without disturbing others.

In addition, it also increases the degree of hazardous substance capture!

Here’s how it works.

The KEMPERbeats comes as a part of the new KEMPER extraction hood, which has a special handle with the Bluetooth speaker. Workers can connect any device to the speakers to play the music they want.

However, it’s not just a way of creating a pleasant work atmosphere – there’s another advantage that KEMPERbeats offers. If the welders want the music to play right above the weld seam, they HAVE to position it so the extraction hood is over the point where the welding fumes originate.

This means that the hood will always be in the best possible position to capture fumes, resulting in better extraction.

The extraction rate is further enhanced by the increased size of the hood, and the 180mm increase in the hose diameter. The result? There’s a 30% improvement in the extraction and a 20% increase in the capture rate. This is on top of the 40% higher capture rate when compared to other solutions through its flange shape.

The best part is, the new hood can be easily moved around, even with gloves on, and it has a 360-degree rotation. The hood also has an energy-saving LED light right above the extraction area to illuminate the workpiece optimally.

All in all, this new product combines employee well-being, happiness, and workplace personalisation in one easy-to-use package.

Fundraising Campaign for “Young Adults with Cancer” Foundation

KEMPER products are designed to protect people from the health hazards of welding fumes, including cancer. However, the company is also joining the fight against cancer in a more direct manner.

Using Instagram as the platform, KEMPER has started a campaign called #KEMPERbeatsCancer.

How can you participate?

Go to the Kemper profile, post their first auricle (ear) picture with the hashtag #KEMPERbeatsCancer, tag the KEMPER profile @kemper_eu and for each feed contribution, the company will donate €1 to the “Young Adults with Cancer” foundation. When the campaign ends, the company will double the contribution up to an amount of €10,000.

How’s that for a worthy cause?

In addition to these new developments, here are some other things they rolled out in December.
