Max Air Fume Arms

MAXAIR fume arms a full line of articulated fume extractor arms

Overhead canopies are a thing of the past. Workers were actually breathing the dust and smoke-filled air as it was travelling upward toward the canopy. Source capture is the safe and the right way to eliminate the harmful pollutants significantly that are the primary cause of lung diseases. Maxair fume arms are built to reduce the pre­sence of industrial indoor air particles. From laboratories right up to the large welding shops, Maxair fume arms will get the job done.

MAXAIR fume arms are built to reduce to a minimum the presence of industrial indoor air particles. From laboratories right up to the large welding shops, MAXAIR fume arms will get the job done.

MAXAIR fume arms are ideal for a whole range of capture applications: smoke, steam, dust, welding and nocive gas. Highly functional design facilitates fume arm handling and ease of movement.

All supports and articulation joints are outside of the Maxair fume arm. The tubes are smooth, without any obstacle that could reduce airflow, accumulate deposits and increase internal friction, which consume energy unnecessarily. Max Air’s external supports and articulation joints are readily accessible, easy to adjust and require no maintenance. A vacuum damper is included with every MAXAIR arm.

The arms are shipped fully assembled, ready to be installed. MAXAIR fume arms are also available in stainless steel version for aggressive environment or food and laboratory facilities.

Standard fume arm tubes are made of steel with external cast aluminum joints, which include friction discs and are fully adjustable. The arms have a handle that completely encircles the hood to facilitate easy positioning. Aluminum hood diameters vary from 7” on the 3” arms, to 13” on the 6” and the 8” arms. All joints include a 275 °F (135 °C) hoses, which are gear clamped to the tubes. All hoods may be fitted with an optional 24 V. LED light kit and/or fan start/stop switches. The hood diverter (except on 3’’ arms) increases capture velocity. MAXAIR self-locking arms can be combined with several accessories to provide the best solution to specific problems.

A large variety of hoods can be manufactured to suit particular requirements. Tubes are also available in PVC, aluminum, 304 stainless steel (luster finish) or 316 stainless steel (brushed finish). Custom colors for arm tubes are available on request (minimum quantity required).

AQC is a leading-edge, high-performance manufacturer of industrial dust collectors, as well as fume, smoke and particle control, capture and extraction equipment. The AQC Dust Collecting Systems division of the firm Aireau Qualité Contrôle was established in 1992. This division manufactures a full range of safe, industrial fume, dust collectors and extraction equipment at the leading edge of air pollution control technologies, with more than 30 years of experience. Superior technology generating substantial operating savings!

AQC is renowned for its technological innovation, safe and sophisticated equipment design, as well as its robust and precise product manufacturing. For example, the unique design of the baffles inside AQC dust collectors makes filter cleaning easy. The AQC cartridge holder design provides maximum filter surface and enhanced filter performance. The ultra-smooth concept inside AQC fume arms makes them maintenance-free.

AQC Dust Collectors and fume capture equipments operate in a variety of commercial and industrial fields:

• Welding shops
• Wood shops
• Plastic shops
• Pharmaceutical
• Food processing
• Laboratories
• Cosmetic plants
• Museums
• Maintenance garages
• Training centers and schools
• Metal processing plant

The unique design and manufacturing of AQC dust collecting systems equipment generates significant savings for various reasons:

• Substantial increase in the duration of filters.
• Lower energy consumption during years of use.
• Significantly less maintenance (easy to clean, robust manufacturing, a minimum number of more reliable and durable parts).
• Reduced operating costs (less frequent overhauls, lack of or minimum down time, etc.).
• Lower administrative costs (coordination, follow-ups, supervision) due to much less frequent breakdowns.
• Safe design can prevent serious or even fatal accidents.
• Increased comfort and productivity of personnel.
