keithm Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Opening your door doesn't necassarily deal with the fumes, you need movement of air to remove the vapours and you can't guarantee that by 'opening a door'. You also have to remember where the fumes are in order to deal with them, ie, high low or everywhere. How many Dry Cleaners have enormous X-Pelair extractors running all day yet you can still smell the Percolene that they use, all the extractor is doing is removing the clean, fresh air from the top of the shop and drawing the vapours upwards, thus making the air that you are breathing more unpalletable. Dealing with them at source is always a better solution Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autolock Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I bought my unit off widespread solutions 01423522836.really good unit i opted for a larger unit so i could lay out work once glued up cost £2000 including vat has 2 speed settings and is desighned to clean air through primary filter then carbon filter then back into room but i opted to keep the filters and also duct it outside ,works brilliantly no fumes in shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autolock Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 when the fumes leave the hood they are cleaned through filters and then ducted outside,they dont come in contact with any sort of ignition as all electrical components are sealed. not had a bang yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 During my 34 years in this Trade, I'm not aware of a 'bang' due to adhesive fumes exploding We offer a 'cleaner' option to help deal with the awful odours produced by adhesives. It's by no means a 'total' solution, but it goes someway in dealing with it. Most shops that I know of have a door, when opened by customers, it dilutes any potentially explosive gases. Whilst I would never say a 'bang' is impossible, it's highly unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
