LEJ-640 Fume Extractor/Air Filter

[drum5150]

Does anyone have the fume extractor/air filter for the VersaUV? We have some ventilation fans in the ceiling where we have the machine, but some other departments are still complaining about the smell. Just wondering how well it works and/or what else you are doing to help ventilate the fumes. It personally doesn't bother me and I hardly ever notice it, but we've got to do something before our next huge job comes in and people start giving me the evil eye every time they walk past my area

Thanks for your help!

Talk to your local HVAC contractor. They will know all the calcs for ventilation and MUA(make up air). Might even be able to use some type of energy recovery ventilation. Would have to check code for that.

Best part is your install will be to code and functional. Your fire inspector and building inspector will be happy.

It's about as quiet as a C141 on take off. It is pretty effective at sucking up the fumes, but the noise is such that I only turn it on if I'm running lots of full color jobs. It's gotta get pretty stinky to warrant all the racket it makes. They give you plenty of tubing and you could score more from HD, so if you've got room to stash it some place remote, like upstairs or in a big closet, it'd work pretty well.

Ours works really well. We have had it for about 6 mos and it made a huge difference in our relatively small print room. It does make noise and it adds heat to the room, but it is worth it.

Here is a big hint: Solvents are heavier than air, so they go down. Ceiling / elevated intakes are never gonna do the job of floor vents at pulling the solvents out of the room.
