How It Works

Users simply work on the bench surface — contaminants are drawn downwards, through internal filters, and clean air is returned to the room.

Downdraught extraction

Pulls dust & fumes downward – the most natural capture path.

The right filters

14 predefined filter configurations for precise contaminant capture.

Low power, high recirculation

Moves lots of air slowly → energy efficient, no heat loss.

Key Features

Instant Setup

Just plug in and start working safely — no major electrical work or ducting.

Multi-Process Protection

Handles welding fumes, grinding dust, combustible dust, coolant mist, and solvent fumes.

Quiet Operation

Under 70 dBA across the range — no hearing protection required.

Custom Filters

14+ filter configurations tailored to your specific contaminants.
