Abstract
Fume evacuation systems are disclosed. An example fume evacuation system includes: an air handling system for drawing components comprising air, fumes, smoke, or particulate, or a combination thereof from a metal working application; an air conduit couple to the air handling system for conveying the components from the metal working application towards the air handling system; and a hood coupled to the air conduit and configured to be positioned at the metal working application, the hood comprising a structure defining a circuitous path for particulate that, in operation, allows the airborne components to pass through the hood to the air conduit but causes particulate to cool the components.
