CO2 Laser fume extractor

[kserdar]

Anyone have one or any experience with them?
If I want to "live" demo my laser at the Klingspor Extravaganzas. I need to find one.

Thanks in advance.

Many welding suppliers and also tool rental yards have portable smoke eaters that should work well with your laser

we are about to buy one for our epilog laser at work, but with a price of $3,500 just for the fume extractor they are not cheap.

I have looked at the rental companies. Prices start at >$100 a day. At that rate, I might as well buy one.

I have seen units in the $150-$300 range. Anyone know if they are any good?

I use a 6" duct and a inline duct fan with my lasersaur, it is vented to the outside with about 4' of duct. I can't smell it inside. It is vented low outside near the door and i can smell it when i walk outside. It is just a cheap one from amazon.

I believe the pyrography folks have some smallish ones, i.e., desk top. A little suction fan, charcoal filter, a snap of the finger, wha-la, ...maybe?

A quick search gives this https://www.amazon.com/Twotrees-Smo...ocphy=1021118&hvtargid=pla-1893722293848&th=1

But I know Vevor has a line of fume extractors that may be better suited for a short term setup such as for the Extravaganza where you don't have access to exhaust to the outdoors.

Be careful with demos. Perhaps use a video.

All 4 of my shop lasers are vented to the outside.
Klingspor (extravaganza) doesn't have a window for me to vent out. Thus, I need a fume filter to vent the air inside of the room.

The extractor in your link is only "air volume 52CFM" ... The laser internal fan is 142CFM.
