AQC Dust Collecting Systems Dust Collectors

Fume extraction arms are a better alternative to overhead hoods where workers were breathing dust and smoke-filled air as it was travelling upward. Source capture is the safe way to eliminate harmful pollutants. From laboratories to large welding shops, MAXAIR will get the job done.

MAXAIR is built to reduce to a minimum the presence of industrial indoor air particles. Our arms are ideal for a whole range of capture applications: smoke, steam, dust, welding, and harmful gases. The highly functional design facilitates fume arm handling and makes shifting easy.

Our articulated fume extration arms can be used with our portable filtration units MAXIROLL, MAXICART and MINIROLL. The MAXIREACH, MAXITOP and MAXIRAIL can also be paired up with the fume arm.

Some of our outstanding standard features :
Our highly functional design facilitates fume arm handling and ease of movement. All supports and articulation joints are outside of the fume arm. The inside is smooth, without any obstacles that could reduce air flow, accumulate deposits and increase internal friction, which consume energy unnecessarily.

External supports and articulation joints are readily accessible, easy to adjust and require no maintenance. The unique design of the robust and durable top pivot made of steel makes the 360° rotation easy.

Source capture is very important when it comes to fumes, gases and dust for the safety of all workers. As we know, manufactures are not small places and sometimes installing a big source capture system is not an option. Therefore, we have created our portable filtration units to cover more ground with smaller units. These units vary in size and strength and can be moved to capture all fumes, gases, and dusts around. Our various options are made for all types of work such as sanding, welding, grinding and much more. Their compact sizes make them easy to work with and they are very efficient.

Here are some details of our portable filtration units. Our MAXILAB unit is specifically for white rooms and pharmaceutical domains where washing down the unit to prevent the spread of particles or hazardous contaminants is a priority. Our MAXICART is a portable unit able to have two arms mounted on its top. It can serve two stations at once while pulling 1500 cfm. Our MAXIROLL is a smaller unit with one arm able to pull up to 650 cfm. Lastly, we have the MINIROLL which is the smallest unit we have. It is the most efficient for its compact size. This unit can pull up to 800 cfm.
