Fumex ME extraction arms

Fumex ME extraction arms have been developed for laboratories and other workplaces requiring precise local extraction. They capture gases, vapours and airborne particles close to their source, helping to reduce the release of contaminants into the working environment.

The extraction arms are flexible and easy to position, remain stable in the selected position and can be folded away from the work area when not in use. The special joint design of the Fumex ME provides a low pressure drop, contributing to an efficient and energy-saving extraction system.

Flexible design for different work areas

Fumex ME extraction arms are available in different lengths and with pipe diameters of 50, 75 and 100 mm. They can be mounted on ceilings, walls or workbenches, making them suitable for integration into both new and existing laboratory extraction systems.

The appropriate size and configuration can be selected according to the work process, the type of contaminant, the required airflow and the available workspace.

Different versions for specific working environments

Fumex ME extraction arms are available in several material and technical versions:

• STD version for most laboratory and light industrial applications
• PP version for extracting high concentrations of highly corrosive airborne contaminants
• ESD version for working environments where reducing risks associated with electrostatic discharge is important
• ATEX version for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

The available pipe diameters and accessories may vary between versions. The specific requirements of the application must therefore be considered when configuring the system.

Accessories for different extraction tasks

Different extraction hoods and suction nozzles can be fitted to the extraction arms. Selecting the appropriate design helps capture contaminants as close to the source as possible without obstructing the work process.

The range includes dome, flat screen, square and metal extraction hoods, as well as rigid and flexible suction nozzles. The extraction arms can also be combined with different mounting accessories, control options and work lighting.

Fumex ME extraction arms can be used in a range of environments, including:

• laboratories and educational institutions
• pharmaceutical and chemical processes
• healthcare and research environments
• electronics workstations
• light industrial applications
• soldering and other tasks requiring local extraction

For effective extraction, the extraction arm and its hood or suction nozzle must be positioned sufficiently close to the source of contamination. Labokraft specialists provide technical support in selecting the appropriate pipe diameter, airflow, material version and mounting method.
