Working with machinery for engraving, marking and laser cutting can lead to high levels of smoke and dust. As a prevention for the treatment of this waste. It will be necessary to remove this smoke from the machine by means of an extraction and filtering equipment. Which will also help the good functioning of your machine in addition to extending its useful life.

It must be taken into account that this waste may affect some components, such as optics, in which we would lose cutting and engraving quality.

There are several alternatives of smoke extraction systems and it will depend on several factors to choose the right one for your needs. The most common are the power and size of the machine, and the materials with which it will work. Work hours and the level of use of the laser machine will also take into account.

We take this opportunity to clarify that not necessarily having more power in the extraction system is equivalent to greater noise. An example could be the model that. Despite its power and volume, is one of the quietest equipment.

On the other hand, we can find ourselves in the situation of having a very small space. Where it is difficult to install an extraction system. One of our suppliers has solved this by integrating it as a basis for the laser cutting and engraving machine. This is the Bofa AD Base. Which in addition to its size, offers benefits such as: low noise level, filter status indicator and digital flow control system.

Another important aspect is the material because some can generate toxic gases. With which XT LASER does NOT recommend working even with an extraction system. In our materials section you will find a wide range for your laser machine.

Our partner, a commercial expert in materials. Tells us that “The change of filters will always depend on the hours of production and material with which you work. Wood, for example, leaves a lot of waste. And as a result it will make the filters much more dirty than ABS or methacrylate. ”

In general, at XT LASER we recommend our clients the possibility of investing in an extraction system. For more information about our range of smoke extractors. You can contact us and we will give you all the necessary information to get the best option that suits your production needs.
