Portable Fume Extraction Systems

A portable fume extraction system is an excellent way to provide localised, or portable, fume extraction. Due to their relocatable nature, they are often smaller than fixed extractors, and this makes them suitable for a wider range of industries, including:

• Construction and renovation, where work including concrete cutting, sanding or painting happens in various locations across a large site and fumes and dust need to be collected locally to that activity;
• Beauty and nail salons, where they help capture and extract chemical fumes, odours, and fine particles released by treatments such as nail polishing, hair styling or chemical-based procedures;
• Automotive and vehicle repair workshops, where they can capture exhaust fumes, oil mist and other airborne pollutants generated during a range of work;
• Welding and fabrication workspaces, where they can easily be moved around for localised extraction near to the source of the fume generation;
• Laboratories and research facilities, where experiments or processes involving volatile substances might need additional, focused fume extraction;
• Educational institutions, where vocational or industrial training delivery necessitates occasional fume extraction.

There are many other instances where a portable fume extractor may be required and, at P&M LEV Specialists, we are always happy to discuss your thoughts and answer any questions you may have about the best solution for your fume extraction needs.

There are many benefits to portable fume extraction, but it is rare that this would be a stand-alone solution. We always recommend a fixed system if you have a regular requirement for fume extraction, and then the use of a portable fume extraction system in addition, to provide absolute peace of mind that your workers are safe, even when undertaking high risk operations. Portable fume extraction is an excellent supplemental solution, however, especially if your particular workspace has confined or hard-to-reach areas which a fixed system may struggle with.

Having the flexibility of a portable fume extractor is a huge benefit, though, especially if you need to change workspaces or move to different areas within one facility. Because the portable fume extraction system is designed to be easily moved, it provides the convenience of targeting specific workstations or areas where fumes are likely to be in high concentration.

Portable fume extraction systems are a cost-effective solution, too. If you have a site where multiple workstations need fume extraction, a portable fume extractor can cover all of these without the need to install a fixed system in every location.

A portable fume extractor is typically self-contained and therefore provides quick and easy installation and set-up. They can be operational and extracting fumes immediately if required.

If your business is constantly innovating or growing, you may find your operational activities are changing frequently too. In this scenario, a portable fume extraction system can increase adaptability, either on a permanent basis or temporarily to cater for workstation configuration changes or until a fixed system can be installed.
