Industrial processes create fumes or particles such as welding, sanding, grinding, spraying, powder filling, and chemical applications. Fume extractors use a variety of filters while some systems, depending upon application, use multiple filters in line. The combination of the powerful fan and high-quality filtration media creates a recirculating air pattern for ductless units. Because of the air flow, ductwork or costly replacement air is not required. These units take up less space, weigh less, are more energy efficient, and have easy access to change filters. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Fume Extractor Filters<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Filter Comparison Chart<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"250\"><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"109\"><strong>Efficiency<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"109\"><strong>Size of Particulates<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"250\">ASHRAE<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">95%<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">0.5 microns<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"250\">HEPA<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">99.97%<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">0.3 microns<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"250\">ULPA<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">99.995%<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">0.12 microns<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"250\">Activated Carbon\/Specialty Blends<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">Varies<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"250\">Micro-Pleat\/Cleanable<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">95%<\/td>\n<td width=\"109\">0.3 microns<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>Particulate Filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sentryair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/hepas-sm.png\" alt=\"HEPA Particulate Filters for Fume Extractors\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\"><\/p>\n<p>Particulate filters utilize high efficiency fiberglass media to arrest and intercept particles, light dust, smoke and other airborne particulate.

If OSHA conducts an inspection due to a workplace accident, immediate fines will apply to violations.<\/p>\n<p>Not only to follow the law, fume extractors can help organizations avoid legal issues, improve employees&#8217; health and safety, and increase employee morale. Expensive law suits from chemical exposure could bankrupt a company or substantially damage it. Employers should care about the employees&#8217; health and safety to maintain a productive workforce. Employees\u2019 satisfaction and morale will improve because they know that their employer cares about their safety and health.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sample Chemical Limits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For the PELs of specific chemicals, please refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/dsg\/annotated-pels\/tablez-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OSHA Annotated Table Z-1<\/a>.
