For processes where air filtration is required, we supply Donaldson BOFA systems equipped with pre-filters and combined HEPA and active carbon filters with high efficiency. For applications where fumes can be discharged directly outside the facility, we also provide non-filtered extraction solutions, typically based on industrial centrifugal fume extraction fans. As Donaldson BOFA representatives, we also supply original replacement filters and pre-filters for the complete range of equipment, ensuring maximum performance and maintaining system efficiency over time.

Industrial Fume Extractors for Different Applications

Each industrial process has its own characteristics, meaning that the selection of the correct extraction system must consider factors such as the type of material being processed, the volume of fumes generated, machine operating time, and the destination of the extracted air.

When air filtration is required before recirculation or discharge, Donaldson BOFA systems provide a high-efficiency solution, combining different filtration stages to remove particles, fumes, and gaseous compounds.

In applications where fumes can be directed directly outside the facility, extraction systems without filtration represent a simple, robust, and economical solution, sized according to the required airflow and installation requirements.

Donaldson BOFA Fume Extractors for Laser Applications

During laser engraving, marking, and cutting processes, fumes, ultrafine particles, and vapours are generated, which can compromise air quality, affect operator health, and cause residue accumulation on laser machine components.

Donaldson BOFA fume extractors have been developed to capture these contaminants directly at the source, preventing their dispersion throughout the working environment. The use of multi-stage filtration systems allows solid particles, fumes, and gaseous compounds to be retained, contributing to a cleaner workspace and improved equipment reliability.

The selection of the most suitable system depends on the materials being processed, the volume of fumes generated, and the intensity of use. For this reason, Donaldson BOFA provides a wide range of equipment capable of supporting applications ranging from small engraving operations to high-production industrial processes.

Donaldson BOFA extraction systems can be used with all Portlaser laser machines, as well as with laser cutting and engraving machines for non-metallic materials.

Donaldson BOFA Complementary Equipment

In addition to fume extraction systems, Portlaser supplies a range of Donaldson BOFA complementary products designed to optimise installation performance or address specific applications.

• AD Cyclone: Cyclonic separator designed to remove larger particles before the main filtration stage, increasing filter lifetime.
• ILF 600: Inline pre-filter suitable for applications with high production of dust or particles.
• ILF 1000: Higher-capacity inline pre-filter for processes generating large quantities of particles.
• Spark Arrestor 2: Spark reduction system designed to increase extraction equipment protection in processes involving the risk of incandescent particle projection.
• AD 350 CU: Cooling and filtration unit designed to optimise the performance of specific laser systems.

Original Donaldson BOFA Filters

In addition to extraction equipment, we supply original Donaldson BOFA filters and pre-filters for periodic replacement, ensuring filtration efficiency and the correct operation of the systems.

Donaldson BOFA equipment normally uses different filtration stages, which may include:

• Pre-filters: Responsible for retaining larger particles.
• Combined HEPA and active carbon filters: Designed to remove ultrafine particles, fumes, vapours, odours, and other gaseous compounds.

Technical Support and Equipment Supply

The selection of the most suitable extraction system always depends on the application requirements, process type, materials used, and required extraction airflow.

Our team provides specialised technical advice to help select the most suitable solution, whether it is a Donaldson BOFA filtered extraction system or a non-filtered extraction solution for direct external discharge. We also provide technical support for the complete equipment range.
