Q. Hi, what size particles does the filter extract from the air and how often does the carbon filter need replacing
A. Hi Neil. Thank you for your question. The manufacturer does not offer a particle rating but it is designed for the removal of harmful soldering fumes in the air. The filter should be changed once a month or when full of dust.
Q. There are no dimensions quoted.
Is it the size of an average angle poise lamp, perhaps
Dave
A. Hi Dave, thanks for your question. The head of this bench extractor unit measures approximately 210 x 210 x 135mm and takes a 130 x 130 x 10mm filter.
Q. Would this product be suitable for extracting fumes from Hot Wire Cutter (cutting plastic & Expanded Polystyrene)
And Welding plastic with a soldering iron?
A. Hi Paul. Thank you for your question. This would be suitable - it does state it can be used for soldering and other fumes.

I found that the device though good when set up was not as easy as I thought it would be to set up. The instructions were not as clear as they could be. That aside the the extractor works brilliantly.
