Inkjet Vapour Extractor and Filtration System
These
units are designed to capture and filter harmful solvent vapour from
inkjet printers then return clean air to the workplace without the need
for an expensive and disruptive vent to atmosphere ducting system.
Inkjet printers are used widely throughout manufacturing and packaging
industries to apply information, identification codes and best before
dates etc. onto products made from various materials such as glass, card
and metal.
2-point extraction for CIJ printers
Wide format inkjet printers are also used to produce large images, displays,
graphics and signs in many print and design industries.
Various organic solvents are used as carriers for the ink pigment such
as Methyl Ethyl Ketone (M.E.K.) which can cause eye irritation and CNS
depression, it is also a skin irritant and can be harmful by ingestion
or inhalation.
Custom connection kits and enclosures
are available
for wide format printers.
Purex Solution
The Purex Inkjet extraction and purification system effectively captures
fumes from both the print head and the vents in the printer, therefore
protecting personnel from inhaling the solvent fumes.
Fumes are then drawn through a Purex Solvent-Lock filter which
utilises a specialised blend of filter media to adsorb and oxidise the
solvent
vapour safely before clean air is returned to the workplace.
Features and Benefits:
- Protects personnel.
- Ensures compliance with health and safety legislation.
- Prevents medical
conditions such as fatigue, headaches, nausea.
- Reduces absenteeism.
- Removes solvent odours.
- Completely mobile.
- Compact and quiet in operation.
- Easily maintained.
- Long filter life.

The Problem
Evaporating solvents from inkjet processes can be harmful to health if
inhaled. Therefore a suitable extraction system is required in order
to comply with health and safety regulations.
The Solution
The Purex Inkjet Fume Extraction System extracts solvent vapours from
the print head (and the printer) then removes the hazardous
vapour by using a unique Solvent-Lock filter.
2-Point Extraction
Purex Systems utilise two specially designed Delta Cowls, one to extract
fumes from the print head and the other to extract from the vents on
the control unit itself. This 2-point approach ensures that fumes are
not allowed to pollute
the work area. The delta cowls are attached to 38mm flexible stainless
steel arms which are easy to position yet remain in place once installed.
The
arms are
supplied with a valve which allows adjustment to the airflow and a
robust and secure clamp fixing bracket* is also supplied.
Unique Solvent-Lock Filters
Standard carbon filters used in other types of filter systems should
not be used with solvent fumes as there is a danger of an exothermic
reaction between the carbon and the fumes which may cause a fire risk.
Purex solve this problem by utilising a unique blend of porous filter
media which adsorbs solvent vapour in thousands of variable sized channels
throughout its structure. Molecules of solvents or other contaminants
are adsorbed on to the extended surfaces of the media, form bonds at
a molecular level and are then retained within its structure. To give
you an idea of how much surface area this blended filter media has to
adsorb vapour - 1gm has a surface area
larger than an olympic swimming pool !
- Protect Personnel from harmful solvent vapour.
- Remove Solvent Odour
- Comply with health and safety legislation
- Have a cleaner, safer environment
