FireBOX MA

For added safety and protection from fire.

 

Self-extinguishing inline pre-filter

In the rare event that a burning ember is drawn into the fume extraction unit, there is the possibility that debris in the filters could ignite. Although any resultant fire would typically be retained within the fume extraction unit, this would cause significant damage and in extreme circumstances the risk may extend beyond the extraction unit. For processes where such risks have been identified, additional protection in the form of an in line FireBOX is an additional precaution.

The built in temperature controller can be set so when a 10°C (18°F) temperature rise over the pre-set ambient temperature is detected, the FireBOX MA will activate the isolating valves and switch off the power to the extraction unit, suppressing the airflow to the FireBOX and reducing the fire. If this does not completely suppress the fire and the temperature rises another 10°C (18°F) then the fire extinguisher will be activated. Independent tests by Ordnance Testing Solutions Ltd found the FireBOX MA is effective at containing and suppressing aluminium metal fires. It hosts all the same features and benefits as the FireBOX GA but has been designed specifically for metal-based applications. If you are not working with metal, please refer to the FireBOX GA or contact us to ensure you chose the right system.

 

Shipping Instructions – Dangerous Goods Classification

The Firebox product category (MA & GA) contains components that means it has been classified as Dangerous goods under the Dangerous Goods Regulations.

The classification of the product falls under UN1044 – FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, CLASS 2.2 and will need addressing for transport via both Air and Sea. On the occasion that the product is to be moved via road freight then it is exempt from ADR Regulations for transport (Under Special Provision 594) and no further action is required.

For more information, please contact BOFA or your freight forwarder.

The perfect ’companion’ for fume extraction solutions that need a long life on applications where high amounts of dust and particulate are generated.

This inline filter unit is positioned alongside the main BOFA fume filtration system to increase the overall filter capacity and extend the life of the main filters. The DeepPleat DUO pre-filter incorporates a massive drop-out chamber within the filter, having a volume area of 15ltrs. Above the drop-out chamber but still, within the housing, there is a sealed 200mm deep pleat layer of F8 media giving a surface area in excess of 30 sq. meters.

Prevents burning particulate from entering the fume extraction unit.

BOFA’s Spark Arrestor unit helps to prevent potentially damaging, burning particulates generated during laser marking processes from entering the fume extraction unit.

Hot burning particulate is transported through the specially designed plates positioned within the airflow, slowing the burning particulate down until it finally drops into the removable drop-out chamber, so protecting the fume extractor.

Independent tests by Ordnance Testing Solutions Ltd found the FireBOX GA contains and suppresses fires consisting of burning polymer particulate. The FireBOX GA is designed for general applications and is not for use on metal-based applications. Please refer to the FireBOX MA or contact us to ensure you choose the right system.

Inline cyclone filter for heavy particulate, to extend filter life and extraction performance.

Thanks to Sir James Dyson and his vacuum cleaners, most people are aware of cyclone separators.

Cyclone separators are useful at capturing particles of 20micron and larger, i.e. visible to the naked eye.

Unfortunately, laser marking generates a wide range of particle sizes that are smaller than this so standard cyclone separators are not as efficient.

We commissioned the University of Southampton to develop a cyclone to operate more efficiently at these lower particle sizes.

The AD Cyclone separator has been designed specifically for use with the AD Oracle iQ extraction unit and is installed between the laser extraction point and the extractor. The airflow generated by the extraction unit powers the cyclone.

Inline filter delivering a long life for applications that generate high amounts of dust and particulate.

The BOFA inline pre-filters have been designed specifically for applications that generate high amounts of dust or particulate.

The filter unit is positioned alongside the main BOFA fume filtration system to increase the overall filter capacity and extend the life of the main filters.

A range of application-dependent filter types and configurations are available on request.

The AD 4000 iQ delivers superior and measurable performance, ensuring airflow and filtration is maintained.

The AD 4000 iQ delivers superior and measurable performance, ensuring airflow and filtration is maintained even when particulates start to build up from the triple DeepPleat DUO and combined filter setup. This makes it suitable for the most demanding and complex installations, so you can rely on long filter life, together with the removal of fumes and particulates.

It’s user friendly too, with a design that makes easy work of filter changes. And the easy read and access control display panel is conveniently located on top of the unit.

The AD 4000 iQ’s design permits greater flexibility. Different exhaust configurations allow recirculation via the rear panel or externally vented hose connection systems.

The AD 2000 iQ’s technology delivers superior and measurable performance, ensuring airflow and filtration is maintained even when particulates start to build up.

The dual filter system creates maximum capacity while the three-stage filtration process ensures peak performance. This makes it suitable for the most demanding and complex installations, so you can rely on extended filter life, together with effective removal of fumes and particulates.

It’s user friendly too, with a design that makes easy work of filter changes and the easy to read and access controls display panel is conveniently located on top of the unit. The AD 2000 iQ’s design also permits greater flexibility of different exhaust installations and different configurations allowing re-circulation via the rear panel or externally vented hose connection systems.

The AD 1500 iQ is the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications.

The AD 1500 iQ high-end laser extraction system combines extremely large filter capacity with high airflow and pressure rates, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications that generate large amounts of particulate and gaseous organic compounds. Performance has been further enhanced with the inclusion of several features including BOFA’s acclaimed patented iQ system, making the AD 1500 iQ one of the most advanced systems available.
