How to Choose the Right Soldering Fume Extractor? — PURE-AIR’s Industry Solution

In the electronics manufacturing industry, soldering is an essential process for connecting components. However, during soldering operations—whether manual or automated—high temperatures release a large amount of rosin fumes, toxic gases, fine particles, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These invisible air pollutants not only pose a long-term health risk to operators but can also damage sensitive electronic components and reduce product yield.

That’s why investing in a high-performance soldering fume extractor has become critical for electronics manufacturers seeking to improve workplace safety and operational efficiency.

The Hidden Hazards of Soldering Fumes

Whether from hand soldering or processes like wave soldering and reflow, common harmful emissions include:

• Rosin-based flux fumes: Contain formaldehyde, benzene, and other irritating and toxic compounds

• Fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and smaller): Can penetrate deep into the lungs

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Such as toluene and xylene, many of which are carcinogenic

• Odors and heat: Prolonged exposure may lead to dizziness, respiratory issues, and allergic reactions

Extended exposure to such environments can lead to respiratory diseases, eye irritation, allergic symptoms, and may violate occupational health standards like OSHA and RoHS.

PURE-AIR’s Tailored Solution for Soldering Fume Extraction

As a specialist in industrial air purification, PUREAIR has spent 14 years developing advanced solutions for fume extraction. Our 4th Generation Smart-Control Soldering Fume Extractors are designed specifically for electronics manufacturing and have earned the trust of users in over 70 countries.

PUREAIR systems are engineered with four key principles:
High-Efficiency Filtration, Smart Control, Quiet Operation, and Easy Maintenance.

1️⃣ Multi-Stage High-Efficiency Filtration

Our extractors use a three-layer filtration system:

• Pre-filter: Captures large particles like solder debris and dust

• Medium filter: Absorbs mid-size particles and part of the odors

• HEPA + Activated Carbon Composite Filter: Removes up to 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3μm, and effectively eliminates harmful gases and odors

This ensures the filtered air is clean and safe for indoor circulation—no external ventilation required.

2️⃣ Smart Touch Control & Real-Time Monitoring

The latest models are equipped with a touchscreen panel featuring:

• Real-time display of airflow speed, working status, and filter life

• Automatic filter blockage alerts

• Multiple speed settings for different work conditions

Even operators without technical backgrounds can easily manage the system.

3️⃣ Ultra-Quiet High-Pressure Fan

Our units use brushless DC fans designed for high static pressure and ultra-low noise. They are ideal for labs, soldering workshops, or quiet electronics production environments.

Typical noise levels stay around 50–55 dB, supporting long working hours without disturbance.

4️⃣ Modular, User-Friendly Design

All filters are front-loading and easy to replace without disassembling the unit. Some models also support centralized control or ducted systems, making them suitable for large-scale factory deployment.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Applications

PUREAIR soldering fume extractors are perfect for:

• SMT hand soldering workstations

• Wave soldering and selective soldering lines

• PCBA rework/repair stations

• Vocational training labs and educational soldering classrooms

• Production of medical devices, power modules, LED boards, and more

From single-operator stations to multi-operator soldering lines, PUREAIR offers solutions tailored to fit diverse operational needs.
