New Tip Extraction Machine From Purex

Purex International, of Rotherham-UK, has developed a new fume extraction machine to protect workers from exposure to hazardous solder fumes. When soldering without effective control, solder flux fume is likely to enter the breathing zone of the solderer causing the development of occupational asthma, long term carcinogenic diseases, damage and irritation to the respiratory tract, and other serious complaints. The new, compact “FumeSafe” fume extraction unit from Purex can protect workers by extracting solder fumes from the tips of up to 15 soldering irons without cooling the tips. The FumeSafe is precision made from stainless steel and features a powerful auto sensing dual voltage blower (230V to 120V) enabling usage not just in the UK and Europe, but worldwide. An activated carbon filter is used to remove harmful gases from the solder flux fumes, along with a sub-micronic (HEPA) filter which removes 99.997% of particles down to 0.3 microns before clean air is returned to the workplace. Key features of the FumeSafe include speed control, low capital and running costs, simple installation, filter blocked alarm and LED, and quick change pre-filters to deliver longer filter life.
