Many laser processing operations including marking, engraving, welding and cutting produce hazardous fumes. Purex Laserex™ fume extraction systems are designed to protect the operator from those fumes and also to protect the laser from damage and to improve product quality.

Why do people need fume extraction systems?

Many types of dust and fume are hazardous to health if inhaled. Over exposure can lead to long term and serious medical conditions such as occupational asthma. Other effects are:

People can become permanently sensitized to fumes which means that continued exposure, even to very small amounts of fume, may cause asthma attacks and the person affected may never be able to carry out that work again.

Because of this, employees should be protected by the best fume extraction systems available.

Why fume extraction is essential for personnel:

Prevents serious conditions such as occupational asthma and cancer.
Reduces absenteeism and improves employer relations.
Improves the working environment.

Why does a company need fume extraction systems?

Many industrial processes such as soldering, laser processing and welding all produce dust and fumes which are hazardous to health and which can also reduce productivity or spoil the product. Fumes can also damage expensive production equipment and cause extensive downtime for repair and/or cleaning.

Many local and international health and safety regulations require the employer to protect personnel from hazardous dust and fumes. Failure to do so can result in expensive compensation claims and fines .

Why fume extraction is essential for companies:

• To comply with COSHH, OSHA, NIOSHH or equivalent local regulations.
• Reduce complaints by operators due to odors / dust etc.
• To avoid expensive health compensation claims from employees.
• To comply with local environmental legislation.
• Reduce cost / trouble of cleaning e.g. laser lenses, guarding, print / go sensors and other equipment.
• To prevent damage to products or equipment.
• To prevent expensive downtime.

Why do OEMs need fume extraction systems?

Manufacturers of lasers, soldering, welding and other equipment need to ensure that their equipment is not damaged and that the performance of their equipment is not impaired by dust and fumes.

Why fume extraction is essential for OEMs:

• OEM equipment will perform better and will not be damaged by dust and fume.
• OEMs can increase sales by selling the fume extractors to their customer.
• OEMs prevent production problems for their customer by supplying the fume extraction.
• OEMs generate after sales revenue by supplying filters to their customers.
