Air Flow Control Valve: An external knob enables manual adjustment of the airflow.

Gas Collecting Hood of Exhaust Arm: Made from high-density PP/PC material, the arched/cupped hood effectively captures fumes.

Expansion Conduit: A 75mm conduit made from PP enhances the system’s capacity.

Unique 360-degree Rotation Device: Centered around a fixed frame, it can reach a maximum radius of 1600mm.

Fixed Base: An integrated injection-molded base ensures robust attachment without risk of detachment.

This fume extractor, crafted from polypropylene, is frequently used in environments where smoke or chemical fumes may disrupt regular work conditions.

What is the fume extraction method?

Fume extraction is a method used to control air pollution by removing harmful fumes from the environment, typically in industrial or laboratory settings. This process is crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy working environment. Here’s how it works:

1. Capture: The first step in fume extraction is capturing the pollutant at its source. This can be achieved using a device such as a fume extraction arm or a fume hood. These devices are designed to contain and capture the fumes before they disperse into the wider environment.
2. Transport: Once captured, the fumes are transported away from the source. This is usually achieved through ductwork or hoses, which channel the fumes from the source to an extraction system. The extraction system might include fans or blowers to help move the fumes.
3. Filtration or Treatment: The fumes are then treated or filtered to remove the harmful substances. Depending on the nature of the fumes, this could involve various processes, including mechanical filtration, activated carbon absorption, electrostatic precipitation, or chemical scrubbing. The goal is to remove as many harmful substances as possible, rendering the remaining air safe to be returned to the environment or recirculated.
4. Exhaust or Recirculation: Once treated, the now-clean air is either exhausted back into the environment or recirculated back into the workspace. The choice between these two options will depend on several factors, including the quality of the treated air and the specific requirements of the workplace.
