Laser Marking

Laser marking or coding of information including serial numbers, sell by dates, bar codes and batch numbers are becoming more and more popular within all types of industry. The benefit of having a vastly reduced consumable cost compared to the traditional ink jet printer is the driving force behind this philosophy. This objective can be defeated if a fume elimination system where the wrong flow/extraction rates or inadequate filters are specified.

A variety of toxic fumes and particulates are generated when different substrates are being lasered. These contaminates are known within the industry as LGAC's (Laser Generated Air Contaminates). LGAC's of different makeup can react in the extreme within the filter separation process. In some instances having high ratio of gases to particulates and visa versa. For example, fume from Nylon when lasered is roughly 80% particulate to 20% gas, where as fume from Acrylic is 90% gas to 10% particulate.

With this knowledge, Bofa have developed the Advantage range of fume elimination systems designed specifically for such a broad base of lasered substrate materials.
