Beam Air 2.0 Filter

It is becoming increasingly common for small and medium-sized companies or individuals to have their own laser cutting and engraving equipment such as Beamo, Beambox and Beambox Pro, offering the public access to small-sized equipment with which to obtain professional results.

Flux Europe is a company dedicated to the development and manufacture of desktop laser cutters accessible to all users, which in this case offers an air filter for its 3 laser cutting and engraving devices.

Beamo, Beambox and Beambox Pro all use a CO2 laser (each model has a 30 W, 40 W and 50 W laser respectively). The CO2 laser emits a gas discharge in a specific area, evaporating the material using the energy emitted by the CO2 laser.

During the laser cutting or engraving process, gases are generated (both toxic gases and gases from the incomplete combustion of organic materials) that can be harmful to health.

Every precaution is too little, so Flux Europe has developed FLUX Beamair Filter 2.0 to try to reduce the risks that can be caused by the gases emitted during this process, providing extra protection and purifying the air. In addition, it has all the facilities to be installed and put into operation in its three laser cutting and engraving machines.

In order to ensure proper purification, this filter system has 4 filter barriers:

• Pre-filter: removes dirt particles and water droplets that may be generated.
• Medium efficiency filter: removes a percentage of particles of a smaller size.
• H13 filter: system that retains the volatile particles in the air ensuring, in this case being a HEPA H13, a retention efficiency of 99.95%.
• Active carbon filter: this part of the filter is capable of absorbing the toxic and acid vapours that are generated during the elimination of the material.

FLUX Beamair Filter 2.0 is an indispensable complement for Beamo, Beambox and Beambox Pro users. These laser cutting and engraving machines are ideal for offices, schools and small domestic workshops, so by using this air filter, you can be sure to be in a safe environment with clean air, minimising the risks to which the user is exposed.
