Their stationary systems offer the flexibility of wall or column mounting, while the portable system is an all-in-one wheeled unit. Miller’s FILTAIR ® fume extraction systems range from the compact FILTAIR ® 130 Portable Fume Extractor to the FILTAIR ® 1200 extraction system for large, industrial environments. NOTE: The MERV scale actually goes from 1 to 20, but filters rated higher than 16 are classified as HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) filters. Here’s how the MERV rating relates to its ability to capture particles: MERV RatingĪverage Particle Size Efficiency (in microns) Filters are rated on a MERV scale (short for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value), which reflect a filter’s ability to capture larger particles (between 0.3 and 10 microns). Perhaps the most important, though, is the system’s ability to filter the hazardous particles found in welding fumes. When looking at fume extraction systems, there are many factors to consider. and the Vevor branded absorber has a much nicer hood at the end of the smoke pipe, it's wider than the others that are sold under other names, that extra width of the hood surely helps in capturing more fumes from what I can tell from using it.I use the absorber main unit under my electronics bench and I can hardly hear it running.Even on the lowest setting it draws all the fumes away, even when using it 9-10 inches above where I'm soldering.It's also very quiet compared to another brand that I bought recently on Amazon.The other unit I bought is the same exact unit as the much more expensive Pace Evac150, which did not work as expected.I'm extremely happy with this purchase, would purchase again if I needed another unit.About the Filters in Fume Extraction Systems This is the same as reviewed by Dave on EEV blog on you tube.There are a few of these sold under different names, but are the same exact unit.This Vevor branded unit is the best price I have found on Amazon for this style as of. This is a great price for this style fume absorber. It definitely suctions, as I waved a paper towel in front of it and it pulled it in immediately. I *think* it's working? But, fumes are invisible, so, who really knows. You likely don't need to have this right up on your bricks, but I would like to get it as close as possible without worrying that I'm going to melt it. It's rubber, so, you can't get it very close to your solder station or you can melt it. I also think that the funnel should be made of metal. Would have been better as a solid light instead of flashing. A slight inconvenience, but not a deal breaker. Easy fix, I turned it around so that the button was faced away, but it's also the on/off button, so, I have to reach around to turn it on. What I don't like: the flashing red light that you see out of the corner of your eye in your studio. Things I love about this machine: The ample length of the gooseneck so you can position it very conveniently, the three speeds of the suction (low medium and high), the light weight, the wheels. Among them, two are lockable, ensuring flexible and easy movement. Our metal latches very tightly closed the main filter bulk, completely sealed to prevent any leak.
