Fume Arms
6
WARNING!
MAXAIR 3" and 4" fume arms have pinch points
at top and middle joints.
DO NOT PLACE FINGERS
OR HANDS AT PINCH POINTS WHEN MOVING
THE ARM INTO DESIRED POSITION.
5 NORMAL USE
The MAXAIR fume arm is designed to remove dust and smoke from the air resulting from a
manufacturing process. Each MAXAIR fume arm is built as per the criteria and information supplied
by the customer for a specific application and should not serve any other application without the
approval of AQC inc.
6 OPERATION AND PURPOSE
During normal operation, the MAXAIR fume arm is pulled or pushed into position near the source of
pollutants (8" to 16" from the source). The hood tube grab handle (on 5", 6" and 8" arms only) may
be used for lateral or vertical positioning and the hood circular grab handle allows full 360 degrees
rotation. The vacuum fan (option) draws pollutants within the arm and are exhausted outside
(when permitted) or filtered by means of an optional dust collector (refer to OSHA regulations
concerning air filtration and recirculation). In order to maximize vacuum of harmful pollutants, the
integrated damper should be shut off when the arm is not in use with multiple arm installation on
a single exhaust fan.
