Extraction panels for compact, area-wide coverage
Extraction panels provide wide-area coverage with a comparatively compact design. They are suitable for workstations where smoke, dust, or fumes are generated over a wider area, but where a full extraction wall is not necessary or would not be practical due to space constraints.
In this category, you will find
✔ Compact panels for fixed work areas
✔ Various widths and connection sizes
✔ Variants for integration into existing extraction systems
✔ Connection and installation accessories
Area, Distance, and Flow Rate
A larger panel area expands the coverage area but also increases air consumption. It is therefore crucial to select a unit size that matches the actual work area and the available flow rate. The distance to the process should be kept as small as possible.
Typical Applications
✔ Welding and Soldering
✔ Grinding and finishing stations
✔ Dosing and transfer operations
✔ Workstations with a wide emission zone
✔ Integration into workbenches or enclosures
Common Mistakes in Selection
✔ Panel too far from the source
✔ Area increased without adjusting the flow rate
✔ Connection cross-section selected too small
✔ Turbulent airflow in the workplace not taken into account
✔ Existing fan reserve not checked
FAQ
When is an extraction panel a good choice?
When a larger coverage area is needed than that provided by a spot hood, but a full extraction wall is not required.
Can a panel be connected to an existing piping system?
Yes, if the flow rate, pressure drop, and connection sizes match.
Is a larger panel surface always better?
No. A larger surface area usually requires more air.
What role does distance play?
A very large one. The coverage effect decreases significantly with increasing distance.
Select the appropriate panel
Working width, contaminant, distance from the source, and available air flow rate should be considered together.
