Work with Antiques? Fume Extractors Can Help Prevent Health Hazards

If you work in, or own an antique dealer or refinishing shop, you know that there are often a lot of fumes created when using stripping chemicals, varnishes, glues, sealants and other products. Airborne wood particles and other fibers are often created, too, and none of these pollutants should be inhaled. Even if you only store and sell antiques, they still release harmful chemical fumes as the wood and finishes are breaking down, and the wood often releases mold spores, and dust into the air, too. And unfortunately, many antique shop owners either have no air filtration system or have purchased a small unit that isn’t designed to remove those types of pollutants, so the air quality is still very poor. This poor air quality can lead to all sorts of allergy, respiratory, and other health problems, and can even drive away customers, which hurts your business.
 
Preventing the health hazards (and other problems) caused by poor air quality in antique shops is pretty easy, however, with a quality fume extractor system in place. Top-rated workshop and woodshop air filtration systems are equipped to with powerful industrial-strength carbon filters that easily remove the fumes, gases, and vapors created when various refinishing and stripping chemicals are used. And many of these fume extractor units are also equipped with medical-grade HEPA filters that remove any dust, particles, or fibers that might be in the air, too. For refinishing shops, a fume & vapor collection system is absolutely a must, since inhaling the chemical fumes from varnishes and solvents has been proven to cause serious illnesses, and no one wants that for themselves, employees or customers.
 
All you have to do to make sure the air is clean and safe to breathe in your shop is use a top-rated antique shop fume extractor system and you can prevent well over 99% of the hazards caused by airborne refinishing chemicals, mold, and dust. Ideally, it’s best to have a source capture vapor & gas filtration unit to remove fumes where they are being produced, and have a portable workshop air purifier removing any remaining fumes or dust. To be clear, ideally, we recommend combination fume extractor / dust collector units for best air filtration and work safety in antique storage, retail shops, and refinishing shops.
 
Don’t be fooled by cheap air filtration or fume extractor units that claim to clean the air well, but don’t have the heavy carbon filters or HEPA filters mentioned above. If they don’t have those filters, don’t buy them. Your best bet is to choose a reputable company like Electrocorp, that is consistently rated #1 among antique dealers and refinishing workshop & woodshop owners. Electrocorp fume extractors consistently rate very high because of high performance and value. Some popular Electrocorp chemical vapor filtration systems are the 6000 W and 8000 DX W fume extractors with anywhere from 28 to 48 pounds of super – activated carbon, medical grade HEPA filters and a strong output of 400 CFM to quickly remove any pollutants before anyone can breathe them.
 
The RSU 24 CCH and 48 CCH fume extractor / dust collector is also very effective for removing pollutants and is commonly used to maintain high air quality without worry. The filters for these air cleaners last 3-5 years, too, which saves you money on replacement filters.
