SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION
Description
The FumeAway FA200 Extractor is a Portable Fume Filtration unit that is designed to provide high efficiency filtration of
fumes generated from a variety of different applications (see below). The FA-200 is designed to maximize filter life while
remaining as compact, lightweight, and quiet as possible. The low noise fan will be suitable for a quiet environment. The
FA200 is equipped with a Magnehelic differential pressure gauge to accurately monitor filter status. Fumes can be
collected through either a direct vent mounting system, or with the optional extraction arm accessory (see Section 5)
and filtered through a 2 stage HEPA Filter and carbon media layer. The FumeAway includes a speed control knob to be
able control the suction of the Extractor to meet the need of your specific application.
Applications
DISCLAIMER
This section includes some possible applications and DOES NOT GUARANTEE that the unit will work acceptably for
these applications. The FA200 is not designed to be a single solution and additional PPE may be required. The
customer should contact a safety consultant to perform a hazard assessment and use OSHA guidelines on how to
implement, test, and maintain an effective fume control and safety program per their application to protect the
safety of their workers.
Welding Fume Extraction Codes and Standards
Certain operations such as cutting, welding, soldering, and brazing of metals can produce toxic fumes containing a wide
variety of hazardous substances. This unit is designed to be a PART of a welding fume extraction system, and not to be
used as the only solution. Factors that may affect this are workspace size, volume of work, type of material to be
welded, or other special circumstances. Proper PPE is required such as respirators, masks, hood, and other Personal
Protective Equipment.
