Different Types Of Fume Extraction

What is fume extraction?

Fume extraction is the process in which an extractor collects and filtrates hazardous particles from the air – this works by fume extractors vacuuming contaminated air into a filtration system, which then disposes of these toxic fumes in a safe environment. Fume extraction systems come in various shapes and sizes, and are each suited for different industries.

A few sectors which may need to utilise fume extraction include:

• Welding
• Electronics
• Dental
• 3D Printing
• Research
• Laser
• Veterinary
• Podiatry
