3D Printer Fume Extractor – Donaldson Bofa AM 400

Description

Premium Filtration and Atmosphere Management for Additive Manufacturing

Ideal for: Metal Powder Bed Fusion, Directed Energy Deposition, Binder Jetting

The AM 400 3D printer fume extractor is a high-performance filtration and atmosphere management system, specifically designed to support additive manufacturing processes. This advanced system is ideal for applications requiring inert atmospheres, such as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and selective laser melting (SLM). Providing efficient additive manufacturing fume extraction, the AM 400 ensures a safe and controlled environment by filtering out harmful particulates, keeping inert gases in and oxygen out for optimal results in your 3D printing operations.

Key Features:

• Low Leakage: Designed for minimal leakage to ensure a tightly controlled environment for fume extraction.

• High Contrast Display: A user-friendly interface for easy monitoring of the system’s performance.

• Removable, Sealed Filter Housing: Quick and easy housing removal, simplifying maintenance.

• Remote Diagnostics via USB: Allows remote troubleshooting and diagnostics for ongoing system efficiency.

• Approvals: UKCA and CE certified, meeting essential safety standards.

Intelligent Operating System (iQ)

The AM 400 comes equipped with the Intelligent Operating System (iQ), providing real-time data on the performance of your 3D printer fume extractor. Key benefits include:

• Enhanced Extraction Efficiency: Continuous monitoring for improved air quality and performance.

• Individual Filter Status Monitoring: Alerts you to the status of each filter, so you can schedule maintenance before any issues arise.

• Cost-Effective Design: Integrated features designed to reduce ownership costs while maximising filtration performance.

DeepPleat DUO Pre-Filter

The DeepPleat DUO pre-filter is designed to maximise filter life by incorporating a large-capacity drop-out chamber that acts as a pre-separator. This helps reduce the load on the HEPA filter, extending its lifespan and preventing premature clogging.

HEPA Filter (Optional)

For optimal filtration, the AM 400 can be equipped with an optional HEPA filter. This filter captures 99.995% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, ensuring the removal of fine particulates during additive manufacturing fume extraction.

Reverse Flow Air Technology

The reverse flow air technology reduces air velocity and changes the direction of airflow, causing larger particulates to fall into the drop-out chamber. This significantly enhances the filter’s performance and extends its lifespan.

Automatic Flow Control (AFC)

The AM 400 features automatic flow control, allowing the system to maintain optimal airflow rates for your specific additive manufacturing application. This feature also reduces noise levels and protects the HEPA filter from excessive wear.

System OK Signal

The System OK signal provides timely alerts when there are faults, filter blockages, or when filters are approaching full capacity, helping you schedule maintenance efficiently and minimise downtime.

The AM 400 3D printer fume extractor is the ideal solution for reliable additive manufacturing fume extraction, ensuring the clean and safe operation of your 3D printing processes. With advanced filtration and atmosphere management, it’s the perfect choice for any additive manufacturing application.
