Introduction
Laser cutting and engraving produce harmful fumes and fine dust. A laser fume extractor removes these pollutants, protecting both people and equipment.When materials like acrylic or wood are lasered, they release VOCs and particles. HEPA and carbon filters in extractors capture these at the source.
This guide explains how extractors work, why they’re essential, how to choose the right one, and how to maintain it.
Benefits and Functions of Laser Fume Extractors
Protects Operator Health
Effectively removes harmful fumes, gases, and dust to reduce respiratory irritation, allergies, and long-term health risks.
Improves Cutting & Engraving Quality
Keeps the air clean and laser path visible, ensuring high precision and consistent results.
Extends Machine Lifespan
Prevents dust buildup on sensitive components like lenses and rails, reducing wear and maintenance needs.
Reduces Odors & Enhances Work Comfort
Activated carbon filters absorb strong smells from materials like plastic, leather, and acrylic.
Ensures Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Meets air quality and occupational safety standards in workshops, labs, and industrial environments.
Daily Maintenance Tips
Check and Replace Filters Regularly
Pre-filters: Inspect every 2–4 weeks
HEPA & carbon filters: Replace every 3–6 months depending on usage, or follow the indicator light
Clean Exterior and Inspect Ducts
Wipe down the unit and ensure all hose connections are tight and leak-free.
Keep Air Inlets and Outlets Clear
Avoid dust buildup or blockages that reduce airflow and cause overheating.
Maintain a Service Log
Especially useful in industrial or educational settings for proper documentation and preventive care.

How to Put Filter Bag Back
1. Rotate the Black Hose Back to Top Middle.
2. Rotate the white filter bag back to top blue ring.
3. This is Activated carbon filter box. Normal model without this box, can directly connect to one side open cover.
4. Connect two bottom exhaust pipes to the filter box.(normal model without this box, can directly connect to one side open cover)
5. We only use one side box to connect to two exhaust pipes.
6. Connect outlet D=300mm
7. Connect air inlet for Auto timing pouching filter bag system. Air pressure can be 4.5Bar enough.
8. Connect to compressor with 4.5Bar, it’s only for timing punch filter bag system.
9. Power on the Fume system by two power switches...

FAQs
A fume extractor is a device used to remove harmful fumes and gases generated during processes such as welding, soldering, laser processing, and chemical experiments. It draws in contaminated air with a fan, filters it through high-efficiency filters, and releases clean air, thereby protecting workers’ health, keeping the workspace clean, and complying with safety regulations.
The basic method of fume extraction involves using a fan to draw in contaminated air, passing it through a multi-stage filtration system (such as HEPA and activated carbon filters) to remove particulates and harmful gases, and then releasing the clean air back into the room or venting it outside.
This method is efficient, safe, and widely used in industrial, electronic, and laboratory settings.
The purpose of a fume extractor is to remove harmful fumes, gases, and particulates generated during work processes, thereby protecting the health of operators, preventing respiratory issues, maintaining clean air, and ensuring the work environment meets safety and environmental standards.
Dust extractors and dust collectors both remove airborne dust, but they differ in design and application. Dust extractors are typically smaller, portable, and designed for fine, localized dust removal—such as in woodworking or with power tools—focusing on mobility and efficient filtration. Dust collectors, on the other hand, are larger systems used in industrial settings to handle high volumes of dust, prioritizing capacity and long-term performance.
