Many work environments today, including soldering, adhesives, welding and laser applications, create particles and gases that can be harmful to the work place and the environment. Most people thought that the move to leadfree soldering would be more nature friendly. In reality lead-free soldering smoke emissions contain more breathable fine dust particles. More and smaller particles are produced due to the higher working temperatures required and because more flux is used in the soldering process. In many countries legal regulations governing clean air in the work place require that hazardous substances are removed from the air in order to avoid harmful effects on people and machines. It is important to use the correct safety equipment to remove these hazardous substances. Fine particles are more dangerous to inhale than big particles as they get caught more easily and block the alveoli in the lungs. To protect the operator it is important to use an extraction system that is able to separate these particles and gases and then re-circulates the cleaned air back into the work place. This saves energy and reduces energy costs.

In general yes, for detailed information please contact the local application support.

Depending on the consumption the pre filter needs to be changed when the suction capacity is low (optical or acoustical signal). If the filter indication is still on after the pre filter is changed, the main filter has to be replaced.

Based on the CAS-No.in the MSDS we can check whether the filter can handle the substances or not. To give a statement regarding lifetime we need to know the monthly / yearly consumption of the chemicals / substances.

Each arm is suitable for every unit in the Zero Smog Line. For more information ask your local application support.

The required airflow is between 180 m³/h and 230 m³/h. 1 x Zero Smog 6V, or alternative 2 x MG100S are recommended. Since the CBC-A is mostly used for gas applications (filling, cluing, cleaning, etc.), a unit with a large gas filter is recommended.

It depends on the consumption of solder wire. For an efficient gas filtration the filter should be changed after 1 year at the latest. For chemicals, the lifetime varies widely, depending on the type of chemicals/substances.

Warranty 1 year on production defects, excluding consumables (filter, hoses, sealings, etc.)

Constant Flow Control

Intelligent control systems for maximum performance

If not all work­sta­tions in WellerFT ex­trac­tor units with mul­ti­ple work­sta­tions are in op­er­a­tion, then elec­tronic throt­tle valves close the work­sta­tions which are not re­quired. The adapted power out­put of the tur­bine reg­u­lates the ex­trac­tion vol­ume. The au­to­matic flow con­trol sys­tem main­tains a con­stant air flow to en­sure op­ti­mal per­for­mance dur­ing work op­er­a­tions. En­ergy con­sump­tion is adapted ac­cord­ingly and the costs re­duced.

In ad­di­tion, the per­for­mance of mul­ti­ple-stage fil­tra­tion sys­tems tends to drop off even when only one fil­ter is clogged. The in­tel­li­gent con­stant flow con­trol sys­tem coun­ter­acts this de­crease in out­put. It in­di­cates fil­ter changes in ad­vance by acoustic and vi­sual sig­nals and si­mul­ta­ne­ously in­creases the power out­put of the low-main­te­nance tur­bine in order to en­sure a con­stant ex­trac­tion vol­ume. This en­sures ab­solute 100 per­cent ef­fi­ciency of WellerFT tools through­out work op­er­a­tions.
