What are Fume Extraction machines?
Fume extraction machines are designed to improve workplace safety by effectively removing harmful dust, toxic fumes, and particles from the air. Using powerful fans, they create a negative draft to pull contaminated air from the work environment. This air is then passed through a contained filtration system where dangerous particulates and fumes are filtered and eliminated. The purified air is safely released back into the workspace, ensuring a safer atmosphere for employees. This process is critical in industries like welding, soldering, laser cutting, sanding, and grinding, where prolonged exposure to airborne contaminants can lead to serious health risks.
Fume extraction systems are also essential in applications where hazardous particles are produced. Some of them include soldering, welding, grinding, or 3D printing. In soldering, for example, melting flux produces harmful fumes that require efficient removal to avert health risks. The same goes for laser procedures such as engraving or cutting, which produce poisonous dust and fumes that need proper filtering. Cleaning agents and solvents also, of course, produce hazardous fumes for the electronics industry, again requiring very reliable fume extraction.
Key Specs of Fume Extractor:
- Vacuum pressure: It is the pressure of the vacuum inside the fume extraction equipment created by the fan and is represented in X pa.
- Airflow: It represents the volume of air flows per minute in the machine and is represented in Y m3/min.
- Filtering efficiency: It represents how much the minimum size of the particulate can be filtered by the machine and is represented in % with particle size in X micrometer or X.0 micron.
- Noise level: It represents the intensity of sound noise emitted from the machine when the machine is running. The noise is measured on the decibel scale.
- Power consumption: It is the required amount of power to run the fume extractor system and is represented in watts.
