In the rare event that a burning ember or spark is drawn into the fume extraction unit, there is the possibility that debris in the filters could ignite. Although any resultant fire would typically be retained within the fume extraction unit, this would cause significant damage and in extreme circumstances, the risk may extend beyond the extraction unit. For processes where such risks have been identified, additional protection in the form of an in-line firebox is an additional precaution.
Fume Extraction and Filtration
The need for fume extraction continues to be inherently linked with Health and Safety laws and compliance. Within the developed western markets such legislation is well defined and in the main compliance levels are high.
Most encouraging is the growing trend for improved employee welfare and environmental responsibility in regions where historically there has been less regard for either. This is a welcome and significant step change for our planet and one that at the macro level will drive an even greater demand for fume extraction.
BOFA's range of ADVANTAGE laser fume extraction and filtration systems are designed for applications that generate particulate and gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOC's) within the Laser Marking, Coding, and Engraving Industries.

The BOFA inline pre-filter 1000 has been designed specifically for applications that generate high amounts of dust or particulate.
This inline filter unit is positioned alongside the main BOFA fume filtration system to increase the overall filter capacity and extend the life of the main filters. The DeepPleat DUO pre-filter incorporates a massive drop-out chamber within the filter, having a volume area of 15ltrs. Above the drop-out chamber but still within the housing there is a sealed 200mm deep pleat layer of F8 media giving a surface area in excess of 30 sq meters.
