Good ventilation is required for clean laser cutting and the wellbeing of all operators! This large exhaust filtering unit extracts the fumes, cleans them with a particle filter and an activated charcoal cartridge, and blows the remaining air outside.

Running Cost

Filters are consumables and quite expensive once they're saturated, but they should last a year or so (good units have indicators of air flow for better estimation).


Self-Made Version (RIP)

We previously built our own system for the LS6090 laser cutter. After about four years in service it probably went into retirement for good because the suction was insufficient for smoky materials.

The fan itself is just a small white box that we'll integrate into the overall system. We don't have a name, brand or manual but here's what we know:

  • type: radial blower/"sucker"
  • air duct diameter: 15 cm
  • air volume: 380 m³/h (says HPC)
  • size (without feet): W28 × D25 × H21 cm
    • feet add 2.4 cm to the height
