This means that it removes 99.999% of the most aerodynamically penetrating particles, known to be 0.3 microns, while smaller and larger particles are even more effectively captured, resulting in extremely clean air; free of respirable dust.

For example, lasering acrylic produces 90% VOC gases and 10% dust. Conversely, lasering wood produces 10% gases and 90% dust. With individually separated filters, each filter can be replaced when it actually is spent which varies with each material lasered. In the case of lasering acrylic, the gas filter will need replacement sooner than the dust filter because of the high gas to dust ratio. This is not a problem when using separate filters. Each individual filter can be replaced as needed, which saves money and reduces landfills. In contrast, in a combined filter where the HEPA and Gas filters are inseparable, the barely used HEPA filter portion may have to be sacrificed because the gas portion is spent (or vice-versa). This is wasteful and less economic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are Rigid Filter Cartridges so important?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiltrabox systems use high-pressure vacuum blowers to suction the fumes out from the laser and into high-efficiency filters. As the filters load up with dust, the negative pressure within Filtrabox increases. The sheet-metal cabinet and seals are designed to resist deformation and air leaks under extreme pressure. Therefore, the filters must also be able to resist deformation to prevent dust and VOC leakage. All Filtrabox filter cartridges are built tough, using a thick aluminum box structure to resist flex so that the rubber seals can maintain contact with the sealing surfaces. Cardboard cased filters flex and crumple under a load of typical fume extractor pressures, leading to leakage of contaminants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEasier to Use: Intelligent Flow Regulator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs filters become loaded with contaminants over time, they become more restrictive to airflow. The intelligent flow regulator proportionally increases power to the blowers to automatically overcome the restrictions and maintain consistent fume extraction. Just enter your flow setpoint and Filtrabox does the rest. Filtrabox will also let you know when to change filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpace Saving: Slim-line Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOthers try to achieve space savings by offering smaller machines. But this results in less filter capacity, more noise, and less airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Slim-line design shrinks the width of the extractor and relocates critical performance features into the plentiful depth dimension, allowing for maximum airflow, filter capacity, and noise reduction in a space-saving package - no compromises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther fume extractors have their air inlets and air hoses on the side or back of the machine, which consumes lateral space. Filtrabox's top-mounted air hose eliminates wasted lateral space by making use of available vertical space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/3681\/6793\/files\/Slim-Line-Size-Comparison.jpg?v=1787625019\" alt=\"Slim Line Size Comparison\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk us for 3D models of this fume extractor to make your interior design\/workflow layout a breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRobust, Simple User Interface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust, splash proof, and impact resistant, the new membrane touch pad interface offers both improved protection against industrial contaminants and simplified, intuitive control.
