Fume Extraction Filters

Most fume purification systems have 3 stages of filtration. A pre filter to protect the higher cost HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) for the finer particulates and finally a gas/chemical filter.

Pre Filters

The efficiency of the pre filter is directly related to the life of the HEPA in that the more particulates captured in it, the less can pass through and prematurely block the HEPA. Without pre-filters, the life of the main HEPA filter would be much shorter. Every Etek filter is individually tested and certified to ensure performance and safety.

Pre Filter Bags

These bags have a variety of shapes including multi pocket styles to increase surface area and reduce pressure drops.

Pre Filter Panels

Most panel filters have a nominal depth of 50mm. They have few pleats to obtain some increase in surface area.

Main Filters (HEPA)

Main filters are precision manufactured. Pleated material is combined with reinforcing strips to separate the pleats, helping to prevent airflow vibration or collapse. Every Etek filter matches the highest HEPA capability for Solder Fume (99.997% effective at 0.3 microns) and is individually tested and certified to ensure performance and safety.

Gas/Chemical Filters

Chemical filters are made up of a 50/50 mix of Activated Aluminium Potassium Permanganate and Active carbon. The media neutralises a broad base of chemicals and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) pollutants.
