While laser machines themselves don’t release fumes, the materials they are used to cut through usually do. It’s crucial for these fumes to be removed from the working area and into a contained filtration device as quickly as possible.
Many of the materials that are commonly cut by lasers are highly dangerous, which makes the use of a strong fume extractor essential. For example, cutting acrylic plastics releases a vapour that is 90% volatile, making it extremely hazardous. In this situation, simply opening a window and hoping for the best isn’t nearly enough.
BOFA International’s fume extractors use advanced technology to filter out harmful particles produced during the laser cutting process. With additional features such as flow rate control and an intelligent operating system, BOFA’s fume extractors help to increase health and safety while minimising downtimes.

Fume extraction systems keep employees safe, which is always the priority in any workplace. But that’s not to say that safety is the only benefit they provide. In addition to this, they also increase your uptime by keeping laser lenses clean and free of debris and dust.
It can be easy to get bogged down when working with large quantities of materials. Whether it’s a mounting pile of scraps or just the general dirt and grime that builds up at the end of a long day. Keeping production lines clean is essential in ensuring product quality. There are many other benefits of fume extractors that we explain in our article.
