DOWNERS
GROVE, Ill., Sept. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Metcal, part of OK
International and Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leader in
benchtop soldering for electronics and industrial manufacturing,
announced the launch of its BVX-250 Fume Extraction System. The new
2-port portable fume extractor offers HEPA filtration and several
innovations for changing the filter, exhausting the air, and
communicating with the operator.
"With high performance, simple filter changes, innovative
exhausting and advanced communication, the BVX-250 offers
manufacturers and operators an improved user experience in a
compact, 12lb system," said Joshua
Edberg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for
Metcal.
The BVX-250's patented front-facing filter allows the user to
change the HEPA filter quickly without having to manipulate the
system. The pre-filter is in a separate front-facing compartment
and can easily be changed by the operator as needed.
"The BVX-250 offers a patented 360˚-rotating exhaust diverter
that enables users to direct exhaust away from the operator. Since
these systems are positioned in various locations, the upgraded
features allowing the exhaust to be adjustable provide a
significantly improved user experience," said Can La, Product Director of Metcal.
This BVX-250 will improve communication between the fume
extractor and the operator. New features, such as a large LED
status ring and direct connectivity from the fume extractor to
Metcal CV and GT soldering systems, enable easy-to-view filter
notifications from either touchpoint. Additionally, when connected
to a Metcal CV or GT soldering system, the operator can utilize a
"smart fume extraction" setting to run the fume extractor only when
the soldering iron is active and save energy.
