Solder Fume Extractors

People can become permanently sensitized to solder fumes

People can become permanently sensitized to solder fumes. As a result continued exposure may cause asthma and other respiratory health issues depending on the amount of exposure. Employees should be protected from these health risks by using the best fume extraction systems available.

Prevent respiratory problems

Worker safety is critically important in soldering applications. A well-designed and maintained dust and fume collection system is needed to prevent respiratory problems and keep facilities in compliance with current air-quality standards. In some cases, a good dust collection and ventilation system can eliminate the need for personal respirators and the challenge of getting employees to wear them. 

Dust and fumes which are hazardous to health

Many industrial processes such as soldering, laser processing and welding all produce dust and fumes which are hazardous to health and which can also reduce productivity or increase rejected products. 

Protect personnel from hazardous dust and fumes

Fumes can also damage expensive production equipment and cause extensive downtime for repair and/or cleaning. Many local and international health and safety regulations require the employer to protect personnel from hazardous dust and fumes. Failure to do so can result in expensive compensation claims and fines.
