Products & applications Dust & fume extraction


Fume extraction cabinets channel low dust emissions from workstation Flextraction, supplier and manufacturer of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) has launched a new range of Fume Extraction Cabinets (FEC) for use by companies, where operatives are exposed to low dust emissions and small quantities of sol- vents, paints and chemicals used in their


product manufacturing processes. They can also be used for weighing operations. The complete range comprises six dif-


ferent models, FEC 350, FEC 500, FEC 600, FEC HD, FEC LD and FEC SD and each model is manufactured from strong and durable extruded aluminium profiles in a corrosion protected anodised natural finish with clear polycarbonate infill pan- els. They are supplied fully assembled with the spigot location normally at the rear of each cabinet, but can also be located elsewhere on the cabinet along with the spigot size to suit the customer. All six models can be manufactured in a size to suit an individual customer’s appli- cation and requirement. The FEC 350, FEC 500 and FEC 600 are supplied with an


open frontal face access ranging from 350mm x 230mm to 600mm x 325mm depending on the model and are designed to be connected to separate fans or mobile filters with varying airflow velocities . The FEC HD, FEC SD and FEC LD all have a hinged door to provide an open frontal access. The standard FED HD mea- sures 800mm (length) x 750mm (width) x 600mm (height) with a hinged door pro- viding a working access measuring 720mm x 560mm when open. The FEC SD and FEC LD models are two angular cabinets which can be designed and man- ufactured to suit the application. Lee Darton, Flextraction’s MD says: “We have designed this FEC range to suit a diverse range of applications hence all the


Large filters supplied to industrial gas company Porvair Filtration Group has received a large order from a


leading international industrial gas company to provide 12 specially designed large desiccant dust filters. Each filter will have an area of over 15m2 and be used for the removal of desiccant fines and provide subse- quent protection of key downstream equipment during the production and processing of industrial gases. Porvair’s large area desiccant dust filters are of fully welded stainless steel construction and utilise a sintered metal fiber filtration media said to provide high dirt hold- ing capacity, low pressure drop and long in-service life.

welding fumes Weldability-SIF, the welding product specialist has launched the ‘ProtectoVac’ – a lightweight, portable fume extraction unit to extract and filter welding fumes and metallic particles. The ProtectoVac is available in two versions for either 110V or 23V input power supplies. It has less than a 70dB(a) low noise level and is designed for use in garage and manu- facturing workshops, welding demon- stration and training bays, as well as for on-site mobile welding applications. A feature of this unit is an auto on/off function, enabling it to be turned on automatically as the welder strikes the welding arc. It includes a spark arrester and a four-step filter system with both fine ‘Dura-H’ and ‘HEPA’ replaceable filters. It is supplied with a 2.5m long extraction hose and nozzle, plus spare motor brushes. Weldability-SIF T: 01462 482200 www.weldability- sif.com Enter 311

Our designers have taken into consideration that intricate work may be carried out under these cab- inets, so the design allows the operator to have maximum viewing capabilities.” Flextraction T: 01664 410641 www.flextraction.co.uk Enter 307


Keeping fumes


under control Kawasaki Precision Machinery (KPM) has solved a persistent dust issue with a major AirBench installation. As part of its production process, KPM uses air tools to finish aluminium pump bodies, producing excess dust and leading to an uncomfortable work- ing environment.


AirBench was identified as a potential solution and following successful on- site demonstrations and testing KPM procured five AirBench units in a range of sizes. Operators are now able to work with minimal PPE said to create a more effective working environment. AirBench takes dust and fumes away


Land Instruments’ Model 4500 Mk III opacity measurement and dust compliance system has been independently verified by TÜV Rheinland, Germany, to meet the EN 15267 standard for measuring stack emissions and ambient air quality and can be used for compliance monitoring applications worldwide. The Model 4500 Mk III is suit- able for a range of industrial applications where opacity com- pliance and dust emissions mea- surements are required. The instrument carries a range of com- pliance and performance approvals, including TÜV and the US Environmental Protection


Agency and has gained accep- tance in the United States with an installed base of more than 1,000 4500 Mk Series instruments. The Model 4500 Mk’s no- moving-parts optical system is said to make the compact dust emissions monitor exceptionally reliabile. The instrument is suit- able for current and future opac- ity and dust concentration measurement applications. Options include adapter flanges, air purging and other accessories that make upgrading existing opacity monitoring systems straight forward and easy.

from the workspace by drawing them down through the worksurface into the internal filters and returning clean air to the room. The system is a self-con- tained downdraught bench, providing a dust extraction system, dust filter, and workbench, in one compact unit. It can be operational within five min- utes of arrival in your workspace requir- ing only unwrapping and plugging into a 13 amp socket.
