Features

iQ icon

Intelligent Operating System (iQ)

Our Intelligent Operating System (iQ) provides easy-to-access real-time data on your extraction system’s performance. It offers multiple performance enhancements, including improved extraction efficiency, individual filter status monitoring, and integrated design features designed to lower the cost of ownership.

DeepPleat DUO icon

DeepPleat DUO pre-filter

Our DeepPleat DUO pre-filter is designed to maximize filter life. It incorporates a large capacity drop-out chamber within the filter which is designed to act as a pre-separator helping to extend the life of the pre-filter which in turn protects against the premature blocking of the HEPA filter.

HEPA icon

HEPA filter

Our HEPA filters are rated to filter 99.995% of particles at 0.3 microns.  A secondary filter to remove fine particulate.

ACF Technology icon

Advanced carbon filters

Our advanced carbon filters help to capture contaminants and odors, reducing the risk of bypass and tunneling. They are designed with specific carbon types tailored to industry applications.

RFA Technology icon

Reverse flow air technology

Our reverse flow air technology reduces velocity and changes air direction, causing larger particulate to fall into the filter’s drop-out chamber. This decreases particulate entering the filter media, significantly enhancing filter capture performance, and extending filter life.

AFC Technology icon

Automatic flow control

Automatic flow control allows the user to pre-set the correct airflow rates for the specific application, subsequently helping to maintain the airflow. This generates lower noise levels and helps to protect the more expensive HEPA filters.

System OK icon

System OK signal (optional)

Our system OK signal alerts you when there is a fault, when filters are blocked, and when filters are approaching full capacity, allowing you to schedule maintenance efficiently.

Compressor icon

Onboard compressor (optional)

Our onboard compressor is designed to provide the laser with its air supply requirements. Unlike standalone air compressors, our onboard compressor sits inside the extraction system for a simpler, more compact installation.

Remote stop-start icon

Remote stop/start signal (optional)

Our remote stop/start signal ensures that your Donaldson BOFA fume extraction system operates only when your machine is running, helping to save on both running costs and energy.

VOC Sensor icon

VOC sensor (optional)

Our VOC (volatile organic compound) sensor continuously monitors exhaust air and alerts you if VOC levels exceed the pre-set threshold, preventing the unwanted release of VOCs and other nuisance odors.
