Choosing the Right Laser Fume Extractor
                     Choosing the Right Laser 
Fume Extractor
Laser Fume 
Extractor
Most laser engraving and cutting is done in a closed environment, trapping harmful 
particulate in the work area unless actively vented out or filtered. By installing a 
great quality of laser fume extraction systems, you can eliminate these risks and 
increase morale for your employees.
Considerations for Choosing Laser Fume Extractor
First Consideration 
First you should determine the air flow 
requirement (CFM = Cubic Feet per Min.) per 
the specifications of the laser manufacturer.
Second Consideration 
Be sure you ask the fume extraction 
manufacturer for the system airflow with 
filters installed and not free blowing 
capacity.
Third Consideration 
The third consideration is to identify the 
material you will be marking, cutting, or 
etching.  Most metals and glass will not 
create odors so your main concern will be 
capturing the particulates generated when 
the material is incinerated by the laser 
during the process.
Plastics, acrylics, wood, and textiles on the 
other hand generate not only generate 
particulates but also create odors that need 
a higher volumes of activated carbon or 
other adsorption media in the filter set up.
Fourth Consideration 
The fourth consideration is how to deal with 
odors or VOC’s. Consult with the 
manufacturer to be sure activated carbon is 
a good source for adsorption of the gases or 
odors and also to determine if there is a 
need for and explosion rated unit due to the 
potential flammability of the VOC’s.
