Complete Fume Extraction Solutions for Every Laser
We carry the full range — from compact desktop extractors to industrial-grade multi-machine systems. Filtrabox for 3-stage HEPA filtration, BOFA for smart monitoring, Quatro for high-volume extraction, and blowers for shops that vent outside. Fume extractors include hosing and fittings — just connect and you're ready to go. Blowers require customer-supplied ducting between the laser and the blower, and from the blower to outside.
Laser Fumes Are a Serious Health and Safety Concern
Every laser cutting and engraving operation produces smoke, fine particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Without proper extraction and filtration, these contaminants accumulate in your workspace — damaging equipment, reducing visibility, and posing genuine respiratory health risks to operators. A quality fume extractor isn't optional — it's a professional requirement and in many jurisdictions, a regulatory one.

Filtrabox Fume Extraction Systems
Manufactured by PAT Technology Systems and engineered specifically for laser environments. The key differentiator: rigid aluminum filter cartridges that hold their shape under negative pressure — ensuring filtration actually works as rated throughout filter life.
Filtrabox 3-Stage HEPA Filtration Technology
Removes the majority of submicron respirable dust before it reaches the HEPA filter. Protects downstream filters from premature loading. Rigid aluminum cartridge.
Tested at 99.999% efficiency at 0.3 microns. Smaller and larger particles are captured even more effectively. Rigid aluminum cartridge.
Blend of high-grade activated carbon and potassium permanganate removes VOC gases at the molecular level. Handles the broadest spectrum of laser-generated chemical vapors. Rigid aluminum cartridge.

Quatro Fume Extraction
Quatro extractors offer high airflow ratings with add-on pre-filter options to extend main filter life. Available in 350, 500, and 800 CFM configurations for small through large-format laser systems.
Quatro 426
350 CFM350 CFM airflow. Suitable for small to mid-sized CO₂ lasers. Add-on pre-filters extend main filter life.
Quatro 626
500 CFM500 CFM airflow. Mid-range laser systems and higher-throughput applications.
Quatro 800
800 CFM800 CFM airflow. High-volume extraction for large-format lasers and production environments.
Add-On Pre-Filter: The Quatro 426 pre-filter attachment extends main filter life by capturing coarse particulate before it loads the primary filter — reducing operating cost in high-throughput environments.
Exhaust Blowers — Vent Outside
For shops with the ability to vent laser exhaust to the outside, blowers offer a lower upfront cost with no ongoing filter expense. Best for operations in well-ventilated buildings or where environmental regulations allow direct exhaust.
3/4 HP Blower
Contact for pricingFor: Epilog Fusion Edge 12, Edge 24
Budget-friendly option for shops that can vent to outside air. No filters needed — blower moves air through ductwork to an exterior exhaust. Customer supplies ducting, hosing, hose clamps, and diameter reducers between the laser and blower, and from the blower to outside.
1.5 HP Blower
Contact for pricingFor: Epilog Fusion Edge 24/36, Pro 24/36/48
Higher-capacity blower for larger laser beds. Handles the increased air volume of mid-to-large format Epilog systems venting to exterior. Customer supplies ducting, hosing, hose clamps, and diameter reducers between the laser and blower, and from the blower to outside.

Why Fume Extraction Matters
This isn't an accessory — it's foundational to running a safe, compliant, and long-lived laser operation.
Operator Health
Laser smoke contains fine particulate matter (PM2.5), carcinogenic VOCs, and submicron particles that penetrate deep into lung tissue. Long-term exposure without extraction causes serious respiratory disease. This is well-documented in occupational health research.
Regulatory Compliance
WorkSafeBC, Alberta OHS, and other provincial health authorities require adequate fume control for laser operations. Many insurance policies also require documented extraction for industrial laser use. Non-compliance is both a legal and liability risk.
Equipment Protection
Laser smoke deposits on optics — particularly lenses and mirrors — degrading beam quality and shortening component life. A contaminated lens can reduce cutting power by 30-50% before visible damage appears. Proper extraction protects your optics investment.
Visibility & Quality
Without extraction, smoke accumulates in the laser cabinet and obscures the beam path during cutting. This reduces mark quality, creates inconsistent results, and makes it difficult to monitor your work in progress.
Workplace Environment
Unfiltered laser exhaust creates odors, residue on surfaces, and general air quality issues throughout your facility. Good extraction keeps your shop clean, professional, and comfortable for employees and visitors alike.
Total Cost of Ownership
A quality extractor with proper filter replacement costs less over time than the alternative: lens replacements, mirror realignments, optics cleaning, equipment downtime, and worker's compensation claims. Extraction pays for itself in avoided costs.
