Selection Notes

  • Use MKF where extraction requirements fall within the 30–625 m³/h range and an integrated pre-separator is desirable.
  • Consider MKF for inscription lasers, welding and cutting lasers, soldering fumes, smoke, and solvent vapours.
  • Select the filter configuration based on contaminant type, process duty, and capture requirements.
  • Confirm extraction volume, installation layout, and available service access before final specification.

Integration Notes

  • Place the extraction point close to the emission source whenever possible.
  • Confirm electrical supply requirements before specifying the unit.
  • Plan service access so easy-change filter maintenance remains practical after installation.
  • Review contaminant type, duty cycle, and capture geometry before final selection.
