Fume Extractor Air Cleaners: Get The Right Unit for Results & Savings

Getting the right fume extractor for a particular application not only saves you a lot of money, but helps you get the air cleaning results you want without creating more problems. What many customers may not know is that, depending on the type of odor or pollutant, you don't always need carbon.  And sometimes, you will need specialized pre-filters and a MERV rated filter to handle light mist and dust.  It just depends on what you're doing, how much dust or mist or odor is being generated, and whether you'll need a portable unit for ambient fume control, a source capture unit to grab the pollutants where they are being produced, an HVAC duct fume extractor or some combination of these. If you're painting, sometimes you just need a portable spray paint air cleaner that will absorb those pollutants in your garage while you're painting and can do just fine without spending a lot. Again, it just depends on what you're doing and the other factors above for selecting the proper fume extractor air cleaner.
 
For example, if you have a lot of fumes in a commercial workspace, you'll probably want a combination of source capture fume extractors to immediately grab those fumes where they are being produced, ideally one per workstation, plus an HVAC duct fume extractor to clean up the remaining pollutants in the air as that air is circulated through the HVAC or air conditioning system in the building. And when it comes to the filters that should go in these fume extractors, often unless there is actual odor, you can remove a great deal of it with a good HEPA and pre-filter system. If there are hazardous chemicals, you would want carbon or other media specifically tuned to remove those pollutants for safety and OSHA compliance.  On the other hand,  if you need something like a laboratory odor remover, you can often go with either portable units with carbon or other media (depending on the nature of the odor) or advanced filterless units that don't need filters but use PCO technology to sanitize the air, protecting you from airborne bacteria, viruses and eliminating VOC's (which cause a majority of odors anyway)

Another important application to make sure you get the right unit for is laser engraving, cutting and 3D printing. These processes product fumes and particles that often require specialized filters to adequately remove them. This is especially true for the fumes, as these types of fumes cut by CO2 lasers, etc often need a phosphoric base carbon blend, not your typical activated carbon which won't remove them sufficiently. Industrial grade carbon is often pretty effective, but to be on the safe side, it's best to use a fume extractor designed for those types of machines and with the right carbon to avoid problems.
