During the machining processes which remove material,
dust is usually generated as a by-product. This dust needs to
be removed in order to prevent interference with the
performance of the machine and also to protect the health
of the operator. The DentalPRO range of units has been
developed to provide effective removal of particulates
created during processes such as milling and grinding.
DentalPRO units are compact and portable. They are of
robust design, and feature ease of use with minimal
maintenance and long life.
Exposure to airborne contaminants at work, such as
inhalable and respirable dust particles, can put people’s
health at risk. Health and safety regulations require
employers to control exposure to hazardous substances in
order to prevent ill health. The use of a suitable extraction
system will enable you to conform to the Health and Safety
regulations and protect the health employees and others.
The Xtract 100 has been designed to remove and filter fume
containing potentially hazardous particulate generated
during manufacturing processes. Such hazardous
substances are captured within a multistage filtration
system after which the cleaned air is returned to the
workplace.
Fume Capture Methods
The fume is normally captured by 1 of 3 methods.
•
Flexible arm/ Nozzle
•
Enclosures
•
Cabinets
General Guidelines for a successful installation
•
Keep duct run length to a minimum
•
Avoid sharp bends / turns in the ductwork
•
Avoid multiple bends / turns in the ductwork
•
Use a larger diameter duct where able
•
Position the capture device as close as possible to
the marking point. (if used on high speed lines,
position the capture device slightly downstream)
Flexible Arm & Nozzle Extraction (Optional Kits)
The stay put arm should be mounted as close as possible to
the marking point. Unscrew the push fit connector from the
other side of the flexible hose. Cut the flexible hose to suit
the distance back to the extractor connection and push onto
the extractor inlet.
Purge air should be kept to a minimum, where possible, to
prevent the fume being blown away from the nozzle.
Moving products
For applications where the product to be marked is moving
past the stationary head the capture nozzle should be
positioned as close as possible to the marking area on the
side the product is moving towards.
Enclosures
The extraction hose and nozzle can be attached to the
enclosure surrounding the marking zone provided that the
extraction point is within 50-75mm of the marking point.
Cabinets
Cabinets normally have a 75mm 0r 100mm spigot for fume
extraction. For best performance use the same diameter
hose as the spigot and reduce at the extractor end if
necessary.
Keep the hose run as short as possible.
