DC-2K to 16K Capacity- Dust Extraction Solutions for Laser Cutting and Plasma Cutting Machines

Laser and Plasma Cutting Fume Extraction Solutions

What is Laser Cutting?

Lasers utilize a high-energy beam capable of cutting through metal by generating enough heat to melt or vaporize the material. During the laser cutting process, chemical reactions occur that release various elements from the metal alloy into the surrounding air. This results in emissions that can include chemical vapors, aerosols, and smoke. Specifically, when cutting acrylic, the fumes primarily consist of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide, which can be harmful if inhaled.

What is Plasma Cutting?

Plasma cutting is a metal fabrication technique that employs an electrically conductive plasma arc to slice through metals. The fumes produced during plasma cutting can be particularly concerning, as they may contain toxic and hazardous metals, including chromium and nickel. Notably, the process can also generate hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), a known carcinogen. The quantity of fumes and gases emitted during plasma cutting is influenced by several factors, such as:

• The cutting method (dry or wet)
• The cutting speed
• The thickness of the material
• The alloy composition
• The design of the cutting table
• The type of gas used
• The ventilation conditions in the workspace

Our Offerings in Laser Cutting and Plasma Cutting Fume Extraction

We offer a range of fume extraction solutions designed to effectively manage emissions from laser and plasma cutting processes, specifically our DC-2K to DC-16K cartridge dust collectors.

Features:

• Fine Dust Filtration: Our systems utilize high-efficiency German cartridges that achieve over 99% filtration efficiency for particles as small as 0.5 microns.
