MetcalMETCAL extraction systems for soldering fumes

Why is fume extraction required? Soldering fumes are more than just an irritant. When workers are exposed to them during the production process, issues such as fatigue, loss of concentration, and reduced productivity become real risks. Long-term health problems, such as occupational asthma, are also a concern. Employers are responsible for properly managing and minimizing the health risks associated with soldering fumes. Fume absorbers and extractors provide an effective and straightforward solution.
