ume and dust extraction has an important part to play in both helping employers create a clean working environment for their people and in
maintaining high levels of productivity. Filtration systems, such as those
developed by BOFA International, can help employers to meet compliance and the regulations designed to improve the workplace environment in a growing range of process-based industries, including laser, additive manufacturing, printing, electronics and notably in PCB manufacture. In what is increasingly a 24/7
operating environment, filtration technology is playing a vital role in helping to keep production lines moving, maintaining quality and contributing to effective workplace atmosphere management. As a result, there is an increased reliance on automation and the role that operational data can play in enhancing productivity. It is an evolution that makes the
role of fume and dust filtration even more important, because with faster processing comes a requirement for technical innovation and appropriate filter capacity to help keep production lines working at optimum quality. Extraction systems also have a role
to play in helping businesses implement safe working practices in their work environment, for example by helping to manage potential distribution of airborne emissions. A properly installed and
