CentralisedExtractionSystems

Designed for Educational WorkshopsThe C-Vac System has been speci�cally developed for use in schools and colleges. This unique system has proven to provide cleaner, safer environments for teachers and pupils. It extracts dust from multiple machines simultaneously and incorporates plug in points for portable tools and attachments for �oor and bench cleaning. Designed for ease of use it incorporates automatic valves linked to the wood working machines, so that the extraction is on when required. Dust is collected centrally in a sealable trolley-mounted bag for safe and easy disposal. C-Vac is powerful, yet quiet and economical in operation.

InstallationThe C-Vac system can be easily installed in new build or existing workshops. Our P602 quali�ed design team will work with you to assess your requirements and agree the layout. Installation typically takes 2-5 days depending on the size of the system and can be achieved with minimum disruption to the teaching environment. Discrete ducting can be concealed within the ceiling void. Following installation each system is commissioned in accordance with HSG 258 guidance and supplied with user manuals and log books.

One system capturing from all sourcesThe C-Vac system can be connected to all wood working machinery including circular saws, planer thicknessers, bandsaws, disc sanders, bandfacers and wood lathes. Where bespoke extraction hoods are required (eg., crosscut saws, bobbin sanders) these will be designed, manufactured and installed. Each system is supplied with hoses and attachments for �oor and bench cleaning. Portable tools and hand sanding blocks can be connected to the plug-in points with ease.

Centralised Wood Dust Vacuum System

Features • Powerful high speed dust extraction

• System start can be linked to woodworking machinery - only operates when required

• Variable speed control ensures maximum performance and economy

• Plug in points for portable tools and attachments for �oor and bench cleaning

• Quiet in operation in all workshops

• Single collection point with trolley mounted 240 litre dust collection bag

• Bag full and air �ow indicators

• Each C-Vac system comes with a two-year warranty

The SystemThe C-Vac system consists of a central vacuum fan and �lter unit. Available in four di�erent fan sizes C-Vac can provide all the extraction needs for a single workshop or multiple rooms. The system is controlled by a low-voltage circuit and simply operating a machine or connecting to a plug in point will start the system. A variable speed drive ensures that the fan only provides the power required to extract from the points in use, and is economical and quiet in operation. The C-Vac unit can be installed in the classroom, technician’s preparation room or in an external enclosure. C-Vac is ATEX compliant.

Automatic ValvesCommonly �tted to circular saws, planer thicknessers, bandsaws and belt sanders. Fitting automatic valves enables an automatic vacuum start up when a machine is activated.

Manual Slide ValvesCommonly �tted to pillar drills, wood lathes, morticers and portable tools. Fitting manual slide valves allows the operator to manually activate the vacuum by opening the sliding mechanism.

Flap valvesCommonly used at plug-in points for �oor and bench cleaning systems.

The TS102 extractor is designed speci�cally for use with �oor-standing band saws. It is low level and will sit below the working bed height of most machines. The extractor is supplied with two ports, to allow connection to the bottom extraction port and top extraction via the collection hood supplied in our connection kit. The versatility of this extractor means that it can be used for other applications such as connecting to small duct manifolds for use with multiple fret saws or small sanders.

This simple bag-extraction unit provides an economical solution for larger machines in a preparation area. The powerful fan unit will extract �ne dust and chips from any of the Minimax machines. These share common extraction port details so swapping from one machine to another is simply a matter of transferring a pipe.

To provide total control, TechSoft have upgraded the main top �lter to a compact cartridge type. This will capture even the �nest of particulates and will ensure a clean, healthy working environment at all times. When approaching full, the lower collection bag is removed in its entirety for disposal. With care to tie the bag and remove it carefully, the system allows for safe, mess-free, waste removal.

MM-EXTRACTION80 ESTA Dustomat-10 Extractor (1 phase)

The ESTA Dustomat-10 is the premium option where a centralised system is not possible. This unit can be used in a �xed position, or (where necessary) can be moved around between several machines (eg., bandsaw, circular saw, planer/thicknesser, etc.) with ease thanks to its heavy-duty lockable castors. The cleanable permanent �lter cartridge ensures low operating costs, whilst even the �nest of particulates are captured to maintain a clean and healthy working environment at all times. ESTA’s patented tiltable �lter housing allows quick, safe and mess-free disposal of collected material. A high performance motor, fan and seals ensure that noise levels within the working environment are signi�cantly lower than other system of this type.

WorkshopExtractors

Standard Extractor, Single Motor

These high-quality British-built extractors are ideal where space is limited. Using appropriate extraction adaptors, they have su�cient power and capacity to serve as LEV units for machines producing lower volumes of �ner dust. This makes them the ideal solution for extracting from TechSoft’s milling/engraving machines and fretsaws. The extractors feature a

threaded exhaust port which allows warm air to be ducted to atmosphere – ideal to prevent overheating when the unit is sited in a cupboard. Steel construction reduces static build-up and the sound attenuating motor housing allows unobtrusive continuous operation in a busy classroom. Waste is collected in the economical Hepa�o �lter bags making emptying safe and convenient.

The Single Motor Workshop Extractor shares the same motor and �ltration system as the Standard Extractor, but gives greater capacity making it more suitable for workshop applications. The Double Motor model is identical except for power, and will be needed to extract heavier, higher volume waste.

Connection kits may be required to connect the Hilo�ex hose, which has a smooth bore for

e�ciency and reduced risk of blocking, to a machine. Waste is collected in the economical Hepa�o �lter bags making emptying safe and convenient.

ExtractionTable/Booths

Down Draught Table

This robust table will help maintain a healthy working environment whenever students need to carry-out dust or fume generating processes. Wood-sanding and using solvent-based paints and adhesives are obvious examples. The table contains a fan unit which draws air down and away from the operator. Filters within the cabinet trap harmful contaminates and the �ltered air is then recycled into the workspace. The standard �lter set supplied with the machine meets EU4 standards and will capture 98 – 99% of all contaminates above 10 microns.

Extraction Booths

These extraction booths are essential to maintain a healthy environment when using adhesives or paint sprays in the workshop or studio. Each unit contains a fan which gently draws contaminated air towards a �lter panel which will trap harmful material.

The BV100H and BV200H models re-circulate the �ltered air so will be suitable for occasional use in well-ventilated spaces. The BV100H-D and BV200H-D units have Flexi-ducts which exhaust the �ltered air to atmosphere via an open window, etc. These units will suit more continuous use, particularly if using solvent-based sprays or adhesives.

These self-contained units connect directly to Solder Fume Trunking. The larger SF-SOLDER-EXT features a digital control panel and will service up to 30 extraction ports simultaneously; castors allow easy access to the �lters. SF-SOLDER-EXT3 has manual controls and is suitable for between 3 to 15 ports. Air is passed through two stages of �ltration, HEPA to remove particulates and activated charcoal to absorb any volatile compounds. Both units are quiet in operation and do not require external ventilation.
