About AirBench 

AirBench is a self-contained down draught extraction bench which utilises a fan and filter combination selected 
for your specific application, to extract and filter dust/fumes and return filtered air to the work place. 

Filters are cleaned by pulsing clean air against the air flow, knocking dust off into the removable bins in the 
base of the AirBench 

It is used by running the fan at either fixed speed or variable speed (if speed controller fitted) to draw the 
pollutant down and through the filters, allowing the process to proceed on the surface. 

 

About this Document 

This document provides general maintenance and operation instructions for the AirBench RP range. It should 
be read in conjunction with the Commissioning Certificate supplied with the unit. If you have any concerns or 
doubts about maintenance or operation of this unit, contact the manufacturer.
