Donaldson BOFA - fume and dust extraction and filtration technology
Donaldson BOFA designs and builds fume and dust extraction and filtration systems for solder fume, laser processes and industrial fine dust. BOFA is now part of the Donaldson group and combines many years of experience in fume and dust extraction with a broad range of portable and inline units, filters and accessories.
The range spans compact solder fume extractors of the V series, fine dust units such as DustPro and the versatile inline extraction systems of the AD series. Combined pre-, HEPA and gas filters keep the exhaust air clean, while the iQ technology monitors filter condition and operation.

Choosing the right BOFA extraction system
Define the process and contaminant
The first step is to decide which contaminant needs to be extracted. The V series suits solder fume, the DustPro range handles fine dust and powder, and the flexible inline AD series covers laser and industrial processes.
Filter stages and exhaust air
BOFA systems work in multiple stages. Typical elements are:
- Pre-filter for coarse particles that protects the main filter
- HEPA filter for fine dust
- Gas filter with activated carbon against odours and gaseous components
This keeps the exhaust air clean and, in many cases, allows it to be recirculated back into the room.
Match filters and spare parts correctly
Pre- and main filters differ from unit to unit. Always match replacement filters to the unit model, for example AD 500 iQ, AD PVC iQ or V600. Suitable hoses, silencers and sensors keep the system ready for operation over the long term.

Frequently asked questions about Donaldson BOFA
What does Donaldson BOFA make?
Donaldson BOFA makes fume and dust extraction and filtration systems for solder fume, laser processes and industrial fine dust. The range includes portable and inline extraction units together with matching filters and accessories, mainly for electronics production.
Is BOFA part of Donaldson?
Yes. BOFA is part of the Donaldson group. The brand is presented as Donaldson BOFA and combines the BOFA extraction range with Donaldson's filtration expertise.
What is the AD series used for?
The AD series consists of inline extraction systems for laser and industrial processes. Models such as AD PVC iQ, AD Nano, AD 500 iQ or AD Oracle iQ are adapted to the specific process with matching pre-, HEPA and gas filters.
What does the iQ technology mean?
iQ stands for the intelligent control found on many BOFA units. It monitors airflow and filter condition and signals when a filter change is due, so that extraction performance is maintained over time.
How do I find the right replacement filter?
Replacement filters are matched to the unit model. Each extraction unit, such as AD 500 iQ, V600 or AD PVC iQ, uses specific pre- and main filters. Check the unit name given in the product title to select the correct filter.
