Laser fume extraction like marking or coding is used widely to add some information like add sell date and batch number on package and product. However, a fume extractor is a device that has a fan to absorb all particles and fumes inside the filtration system. After that clean air from all harmful particulate and chemicals. Many industries produce fumes and harmful particles during production like grinding, welding, spraying, and chemical process. The laser fume extractors have a variety of filters in some systems, attach multiple filters together in a line, and filter use according to application. The great combination of best filtration and fan make a purifying process for making ductless.
In this article, we are going to discuss laser fume extractor, its application along with types of the extraction system.
Different types of laser fume extraction system
Portable fume extractor: this extraction system is compact, easy to use and lightweight. It also has a small design of footprint and it is available a wide range of size and airflow capacity. It has a portable handle; therefore, the technician easily transports it. This extractor also has heavy-duty wheels or casters and it is used in 3D printing, soldering and welding, and powder collection, etc.
Benchtop fume extractor: It is another type of laser fume extractor and its place near to the application of welding and soldering where fume makes. It has a small footprint design therefore it takes less working space. It is best for one person and it is available in various airflow and volume capacity along with or without wings. It is used in a small experiment, dosing and sorting in a chemical company, welding, and soldering, so on.
Wall-mounted fume extractor: This extraction system doesn’t need floor space but it requires a long arm for capturing fumes. The arm of this system is free or self-supporting that can move by a technician. In the pipe, all fumes are collected into filters. It is used in light grinding, brazing, welding, a chemical company, and other company as well where more fumes are generated.
Stand mounted extractor: The stand-mounted extraction system is best for those who can’t use a wall mounting system. This system is best for the industry that has big machinery and doesn’t want to use their floor. It is used in many applications vapor source capture, laser fume control, printing fumes, and other industry’s process.
Here you have read some types of laser fume extractors and applications as well. You can choose based on your requirements
