Xbase™ Fume extractor and work base for engraving lasers.

Engraving lasers burn away layers of material such as glass, wood, rubber and metal in order to make an engraving. This process releases various gases, vapours and particles which can seriously affect the quality of an engraving and cause serious long term medical conditions if inhaled.

The Xbase™ simply connects to the laser via a flexible hose and extracts hazardous fumes using powerful flow controlled blowers. The fumes are then drawn through a patented, specialised filter system before clean air is returned to the workplace.

Xbase™ laser fume extractors are available direct from Purex
or from your local distributor.

The Need For Fume Extraction and Dust Extraction Systems

Purex International manufacture and install fume extraction and dust extraction systems for a wide variety of industries. Fume extraction and dust extraction systems are required wherever there is a threat to the occupational health and safety of employees. Some processes and industries which generate hazardous fume and dust are listed below:

• Laser Fume from Laser Engraving and Laser Marking
• Solder Fume from Reflow & Wave Soldering
• Solder Fume from Hand Soldering
• Fume from Welding
• Fume from Grinding
• Education Facilities
• Pharmaceutical
• Medical
• Others...

Many processes such as those listed above produce hazardous dust and fume. International occupational health and safety legislation stipulates that the employer shall not expose staff to substances which are hazardous to their health. The solution is a fume control or dust control system that can extract and filter hazardous particles and gases from the air.

Dust and fume can also pose problems in production environments. The dust and fume in the air can settle onto production machinery or products causing breakdowns and contamination. Purex fume extraction and dust extraction systems ensure the health and safety of personnel and ensure the product and production machinery remain contaminant free and also that downtime is reduced to a minimum.
