Did you know? 217 °C

SAC305 is 96.5 percent tin, 3 percent silver and 0.5 percent copper. It melts around 217 degrees Celsius, some 34 degrees above the old eutectic tin lead alloy.

Fume Extractions

Gas and vapour extraction

This category covers extraction units for gases, vapours, odours and adhesive fumes, where the task is capturing gaseous substances rather than particles. Most units are activated carbon systems from ULT, complemented by models from Weller and Donaldson Bofa. The range runs from a mobile filter trolley with 80 m³/h and units holding 6 kg of activated carbon up to systems delivering 1,000 m³/h at 1,700 Pa, some in ATEX design or with VOC monitoring.

How to choose Gas and vapour extraction

What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.

Selection criteria

Criterion	What to check	Example from the range
Airflow	Size the unit by the number of capture points and the size of the source.	Restauro filter trolley with 80 m³/h, ACD 1200 MD.18 with 1,000 m³/h
Negative pressure	Long ducts and several arms need pressure reserve.	ULT ACD 1200 MD.18 AC: 1,000 m³/h at 1,700 Pa
Activated carbon volume	More carbon means longer service life at the same gas load.	ACD 200.1 MD.20 A6 and ACD JUMBO 2.0 with 6 kg activated carbon
Workstations	One central unit for several stations or one unit per station.	Weller Zero Smog 4V for 4 workstations, Weller T0053667699N for up to 8 workstations
Explosion protection	For flammable gases and vapours, check for an ATEX design.	ULT ACD 1200.0-MD.46 in ATEX design
Monitoring	Sensors indicate when the activated carbon is exhausted.	Donaldson Bofa AD Access with VOC monitoring and filter change indicator
Mains voltage	Match the voltage to your site before ordering.	Weller T0053667699N with 120 V, Donaldson Bofa AD Access with 230 V

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Gas and vapour extraction

How does gas extraction differ from solder fume extraction?

Solder fume extractors focus on particles. Units in this category mainly bind gaseous substances, vapours and odours in activated carbon.

When is an ATEX design required?

When flammable gases or solvent vapours are extracted that can form an explosive atmosphere. One example is the ULT ACD 1200.0-MD.46 with 1,000 m³/h.

How do I know the activated carbon needs replacing?

Units with VOC monitoring such as the Donaldson Bofa AD Access display the condition. Without a sensor, replacement depends on operating hours and odour breakthrough.

Can one unit serve several workstations?

Yes. The Weller Zero Smog 4V is designed for 4 workstations, the Weller T0053667699N with 615 m³/h for up to 8 workstations.

Are there mobile units for laboratories?

The ULT Jumbo Filtertrolley 2.0 LabCat A is a mobile unit for laboratory gases with 80 m³/h.
