prlocks Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi I'm looking for some advice on extraction for our Laser engraver. We have a filter system at the moment as its in our shop but it is very expensive to replace the filters. We're moving it to another larger unit which I can extract through the external wall. I was just wondering what system you guys and girls use? Sorry if this thread has been discussed before on here but couldn't find anything.

petercoulson Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Many moons ago I did one for a customer using a fan unit from Fercell.com who also supplied the pipe work that bolts together its still going strong some 15 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Friend Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Not quite the same but in my workshop I used foul water tube 5 inch wide and fitted gates above machines, a powerful extraction unit sucks 99% of sawdust out. Fumes I would suspect would travel easier as long as you sealed the pipe with the pipe cement so no leaks, flexible tube is available, just need a good quality fan on the outside wall. You could maybe uses a smaller bore pipe, must be able to construct something that works -The do kits for internal toilet room to take smells out to the air.....

Auto Key Wizard Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 A 12 volt cooling fan from a desktop PC and a length of flexible piping duct does the job nicely for fumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
