Laser Fume Extraction Brochure (Purex)

Product catalog summary

Overview
Purex International Ltd. provides fume extraction systems designed to protect people and the environment from harmful fumes generated during coding and marking processes. These systems are essential in industries such as electronics, automotive, medical, and food & beverage, among others.

Inkjet Coding & Marking
Continuous inkjet technology is used for high-quality printing on various substrates. However, the ink fumes can cause health issues and create an unpleasant work environment, necessitating the use of fume extraction systems.

Laser Coding & Marking
Laser systems etch or vaporize material surfaces, releasing Laser Generated Airborne Contaminants (LGACs) that are harmful if inhaled. Fume extraction systems are crucial to protect workers' health.

Comparison of Exhaust Systems
Purex LEV systems offer several advantages over traditional exhaust systems, including ease of installation, mobility, compliance with environmental regulations, and cost-effectiveness. They prevent fumes from re-entering the workplace and reduce energy costs by recycling air.

Health & Safety Legislation
Employers are responsible for ensuring the health and safety of their employees by using appropriate fume extraction equipment. Compliance with regulations like OSHA and COSHH is mandatory to avoid legal issues and improve workplace conditions.

Purex LEV Systems
These systems capture fumes at the source, filter hazardous particles, and recirculate clean air. They are easy to move and adjust, making them suitable for various applications.

Control, Performance & Safety Features
Purex systems include a digital control system with safety sensors for gas and particles, flow control to maintain constant extraction rates, and indicators for filter status and temperature. These features enhance efficiency, reduce noise, and extend filter life.

Filtration Technology
Purex uses HEPA filters that remove 99.997% of particles above 0.3 microns. The unique Labyrinth™ pre-filter design increases filter life and cost-effectiveness.

Product Range
Purex offers a variety of fume extractors for different scales of production, from small demonstrations to large industrial lines. The selection guide helps choose the appropriate system based on specific needs.

Conclusion
Purex fume extraction systems are designed to meet the evolving demands of industry and health & safety legislation, providing reliable and efficient solutions for protecting people and the environment.
