A portable fume collector, also known as a portable fume extractor or portable fume filtration system, is a device designed to capture and remove airborne pollutants, such as fumes, dust, and particles, generated during various industrial processes. These units are particularly useful in environments where the source of contaminants may change or where a fixed ventilation system is not practical.
Key features and considerations for portable fume collectors include:
Mobility: Portable fume collectors are designed to be easily moved from one location to another. They often have wheels or handles for convenient transportation, allowing them to be positioned close to the source of pollutants.
Filtration Technology: These devices typically employ different types of filtration technologies to capture and remove airborne contaminants. Common filtration methods include HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters for particles and activated carbon filters for gases and odors.
