Easy Venting to Atmosphere (VTA) Fume Extraction Solutions from flextraction Ltd

Posted September 9th, 2009

Teka's Vent to Atmosphere Units

flextraction Ltd, supplier and manufacturers of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) products and sole UK representative of TEKA GmbH in Germany, has introduced two venting to atmosphere (VTA) mobile and stationary exhaust systems for the extraction of non-explosive dusts and dust particles, including welding fumes, in restricted working environments.  They can also be used for the ventilation of underground pipelines, enclosed containers and rooms.

These low cost, easy to use and install exhaust systems provide a simple answer for venting to atmosphere in restricted working environments.

The mobile exhaust system comprises a 0.75kW 230V 50Hz 2,000m³/hr suction fan with protective grids at both inlet and outlet ends and mounted on a four wheel trolley, a 150mm diameter 6m long suction hose with a suction hood having a magnetic base for easy attachment within the work area and a 160mm diameter, 6m long exhaust hose.

Supplied as complete ready to use units, these systems are ideal for use in shipbuilding, agricultural, general fabrication applications and small to medium workshops, as well as bodyshops.

The stationary exhaust system comprises a 0.75kW, 230/415V 2000m³/hr suction fan with motor overload switch, a powder coated sheet steel wall bracket, a 150mm diameter, 3m long self supporting suction hose type arm with internal joints and suction hood with a magnetic base, flexible 160mm diameter exhaust ducting up to 5m in length and a 160mm diameter exhaust connection with a protective grid. This system is ideal as a permanent system for use in small to medium sized workshops, including bodyshops.

Local extractor arms from flextraction offer greater flexability

Posted August 18th, 2009

The Fumex range of Terfu brand local extractor arms is now available with 100mm diameter arms in addition to the existing 50mm and 75mm diameter arms from flextraction Ltd, suppliers and manufacturers of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) products and sole UK representative of Fumex AB in Sweden.

Terfu Fume Extraction Arm

These extractor arms are designed for bench, wall or ceiling mounting with airflows ranging from 75m3/h to 450m3/h and have the option of either two or three friction joints depending on the application. They all have an easy to access handle for simple adjustment as well as a 360° rotational swivel as standard. A single joint version is also available for bench mounting.

Terfu local extractor arms are made for use where great flexibility is required in pharmaceutical, hospital and food laboratories, universities, colleges, schools and light production such as gluing, brazing, TIG welding and handling solvents as well as High Street nail bars and hairdressing salons

There are 4 models that make up the range:

The Standard version with polypropylene joints and anodised aluminium tubes can be used for the extraction of most airborne contaminants.

The PP version with joints and tubes made in recyclable polypropylene and all parts in contact with the air stream made of acid resistant SS2343 stainless steel are designed for use in the extraction of high concentration corrosive contaminants found in pharmaceutical and chemical industry laboratories.

The ESD EN100015-1 approved version, which has conducting polypropylene joints and anodised aluminium tubes, is designed for use in environments where the need to eliminate the risks of sparks is paramount such as the electronics industry.

The ATEX 94/9/EC category 2 for gases and dust version, with conductive recyclable polypropylene joints and tubes as well as stainless steel parts that come into contact with the air stream is ideal for use in laboratories, chemical and petrochemical, gas distribution, paint manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries.

A wide range of hoods, ranging from suction, flexible nozzles, metal, dome, square and flat screen hoods are available for each model, plus reduction sleeves and protective grills to prevent large objects entering the system.
