Air Quality Can Affect Printer Productivity
Summary
Some people may feel and experience the following issues when exposed to a work environment with poor air quality: · Fatigue and lethargy · Irritated eyes, throat, and skin · Headaches · Nausea · Distractions due to complaints launched by staff or neighboring businesses.“Solution to the Pollution” Purex, (working closely with major printer manufacturers), has developed a range of fume extraction systems called Captivair™, which have been designed specifically to improve air quality in wide-format printing applications without the need to pump VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the environment via an external exhaust.Losses in productivity due to air quality issues caused by the printing process can be rectified or avoided by simply implementing specialized fume extraction solutions such as Captivair.This takes all the guess-work out of filter replacement schedules which can mean that filters are either changed far too early (wasted money) or far too late (fumes pollute the room).More good news for the environment is that the Captivair system is designed to be energy efficient, only drawing approximately 200 watts in comparison to other systems, which can draw more than five times more energy to do the same job.Purex believes that it is important to protect our environment, inside and out, through better design and technology.All hoses and fittings are included in the system to connect the extractor directly to the printer’s key polluting exhaust points.Capture the fumes at the source.Captivair significantly improves air quality in the production environment by efficiently removing VOCs generated by the printing process.
