Compact design + powerful suction: KNOKOO FES150S smoke extractor application case study

In precision manufacturing scenarios such as electronic component welding and laser micromachining, it is often difficult to balance equipment footprint with fume extraction efficiency. Either large purification equipment occupies too much workstation space, affecting operational flexibility, or small equipment lacks sufficient adsorption power to completely remove localized fumes. The KNOKOO FES150S fume extractor, with its core advantages of "compact design + powerful adsorption," perfectly solved this industry pain point in a workshop renovation project at an electronics technology company, becoming the preferred fume control solution for precision manufacturing scenarios.

Project Background: Compact Workstations, Urgent Need for Fume Extraction

An electronics technology company specializing in the production of micro-sensors has 30 welding stations in its workshop, each only 1.2 meters apart. Traditional large-scale fume extraction equipment is too bulky to accommodate these stations. The flux fumes generated during welding not only disperse rapidly but also contain trace amounts of harmful components, affecting the respiratory health of operators and potentially adhering to the surface of precision components, impacting product quality. The small portable smoke purifiers used previously had insufficient adsorption power, resulting in incomplete smoke purification and a noticeable odor in the workshop. This led to frequent employee complaints and increasing pressure to comply with environmental regulations.

Solution: KNOKOO FES150S, Powerful Suction in a Compact Design

Addressing the company's core needs of "limited space + efficient smoke removal," the KNOKOO team recommended the FES150S smoke extractor, with the following customized solution:

Compact Design for Compact Workstations: The device is only A4 size and weighing less than 7kg, the device can be placed directly in a corner of the welding workbench or mounted on a wall bracket above the workstation, without occupying operating space or affecting employee hand movement. It can precisely cover 30 workstations with "one device per workstation."

Powerful Adsorption Targets the Smoke Source: Equipped with a 100W brushless motor, achieving a wind pressure of up to 1800Pa, and featuring a multi-layer filtration system (pre-filter + HEPA H13 + activated carbon), the smoke capture distance reaches up to 30cm, drawing in welding fumes as soon as they are generated, preventing their spread. Actual testing showed that a single unit can process 120m³ of air per hour, with a smoke purification efficiency of up to 99.7%.

Flexible adaptability to various operating scenarios: The equipment supports 360° rotating air intake adjustment, allowing for flexible adjustment of the capture angle according to the welding position; it also features a low-noise design (operating noise ≤55dB), ensuring it won't interfere with the focus of precise operations in the workshop.

Project Results: Space Utilization and Purification Achieved Simultaneously

After three months of implementation, the solution achieved significant results:

Environmental Improvement: Welding fumes and odors in the workshop were completely eliminated, air quality met the "Hygienic Standards for Industrial Enterprise Design," employee complaints dropped to zero, and work comfort was greatly improved.

Product Guarantee: Harmful particles in the fumes no longer adhered to the surface of sensor components, increasing the product qualification rate from 97.2% to 99.5%, reducing rework costs due to contamination.

Cost Optimization: The equipment requires no complex installation and can be deployed by a single person; daily power consumption is only 0.36 kWh, resulting in annual energy savings of over 20,000 RMB per 30 units compared to traditional large-scale purification equipment, and the filter replacement cycle is as long as 6 months, resulting in low maintenance costs.

Case Summary

The KNOKOO FES150S fume extractor, with its core advantages of being "compact and space-saving while powerfully removing fume," precisely addresses the core pain points of "compact space + efficient purification" in precision manufacturing workshops. Whether in scenarios such as electronic welding, laser cutting, or laboratory micro-fume treatment, it can achieve fume source purification without affecting production operations, protecting employee health and helping companies reduce environmental compliance costs. This case also demonstrates KNOKOO's product design philosophy of "scenario adaptability + performance compliance" in the field of fume control, providing replicable fume purification solutions for more space-constrained production scenarios.
