In printing workshops, people often talk about that familiar “smell,” originating from inks, varnishes, adhesives, and solvents. Many believe that eliminating these odors equates to removing all health risks. However, a deep dive into safety data sheets reveals a far more complex reality—many emissions of concern are invisible and may also be odorless.
Today, the printing industry is actively shifting towards more sustainable alternatives like eco-UV and eco-solvent inks. While they represent progress in reducing environmental impact and odors, the critical point remains: even with these new-generation inks, potentially harmful airborne emissions may still be generated during printing processes and require filtration, such as certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Therefore, printing companies must meticulously examine the safety data sheets of specific materials to accurately assess the workplace risks posed by fumes from inks, coatings, and other substances. Many of these can negatively impact health with long-term exposure.
Investing in Fume Extraction Technology: Safeguarding Health and Quality
For most businesses, this necessitates investing in professional fume extraction technology. This is not only central to an environmental health strategy protecting employees but also key to maintaining a clean production area and optimizing print quality.
For health and safety managers, the question is no longer “Do we need an extraction system?” but rather “Which technology is best suited for our specific needs?“
PURE-AIR understands this deeply. We provide more than just equipment; we offer precision purification solutions backed by 14 years of in-house R&D experience. Our systems can be customized for integration into large-scale printing lines or deployed as flexible, standalone units for small to medium-sized print shops.
How PURE-AIR Delivers Effective Fume Extraction for Printing
Without effective extraction, printing companies risk exposing operators to fumes that can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and, over time, increase the risk of conditions like occupational asthma. PURE-AIR’s solutions are designed to eliminate this hazard at its root.
The core of our purification systems lies in the integration of multi-stage high-efficiency filtration technology with intelligent management. A typical PURE-AIR multi-stage filtration solution includes:
High-Efficiency Pre-Filter: Captures larger particles and aerosols.
Main HEPA Filter: Provides ultra-high efficiency interception of particles 0.3 microns and larger.
Targeted Activated Carbon Layer: Specifically engineered to adsorb and filter gaseous molecules and odors, including Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), ozone, and various VOCs.
The Intelligent Core: The PIPS Purification Management System
PURE-AIR’s self-developed PIPS Intelligent Purification System elevates purification efficiency and management intelligence to a new level. Acting as the brain of the equipment, it provides:
Real-Time Performance Visualization: Operators can clearly monitor key operational parameters via the interface.
Precision Filter Life Management: The system predicts filter life based on actual usage load (not simple time-counting) and provides early warnings. This enables filter changes to be seamlessly coordinated with production schedules, preventing unplanned downtime due to saturated filters and ensuring production continuity.
Whether addressing emissions from wide-format printers, continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers primarily using UV inks, or post-press processes like UV coating, hot melt glue binding, and laminating, PURE-AIR delivers targeted purification security.
