The fume extraction system couples a high‑capacity centrifugal fan that generates negative pressure to draw industrial welding, grinding, laser or chemical fumes into a source‑capture hood or articulating arm positioned in the worker’s breathing zone, directing the contaminated air through a multi‑stage filter array with a pre‑filter for coarse dust, activated carbon or specialty media for VOC removal and a HEPA or ULPA module rated 99.97 % efficiency at 0.3 µm; the compact chassis is floor‑portable, wall‑mountable or duct‑connected and offers infinitely variable speed control, digital differential pressure gauge, built‑in LED light, tool‑free filter change, low‑noise operation and ergonomic design for compliance.
