LAS 300.81-HFM054 ATEX-certified extraction and filtration unit is for extraction and filtration of dry dusts that occur during laser processing such as cutting, engraving or structuring. Is classified as a dust extractor according to filter class H, corresponding to dust technical approval tests and meeting DIN EN 60335-2-69.  

Suited for extraction and filtration of dry dust particles with TLV <0.1 mg/m³ (threshold limit value) as well as carcinogenic emissions. Features a combination of cartridge and storage filters. Filter elements’ material ensures efficient separation of various particulate matters. Main filtration module consists of two class M cartridge filters with optional Teflon coating, which are jet stream cleaned at regular intervals. Pneumatic dedusting is said to guarantee an extremely high endurance of main filter. HEPA filter H14 is utilized as a secondary filter, ensuring a separation rate significantly higher than 99.995%. Comes with stepless volume flow control, filter condition indicator and interface for control by means of external systems.
