The BOFA AD 500 iQ is the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications. The AD 500 iQ mid to high-end laser fume extraction system combines extremely large filter capacity with high airflow and pressure rates, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications that generate large amounts of particulate and gaseous organic compounds. The AD 500 iQ has been enhanced with BOFA’s iQ Operating System - Operators benefit from ease of operation and clarity of real time information, the system also provides a case of analytical data, enabling users to download performance and operating parameters for evaluation purposes. BOFA’s RFA and ACF technology and packs a powerful range of unique features into one compact unit.
Includes Remote Stop/Start
- Enables the extraction unit to be remotely turned On/Off via an external signal.
Includes Filter Change/System Failure Signal
- When the filters become blocked, or the system develops a fault the connection between the Green & White cables will become “Open”. When the extraction system is normally running the connection between the Green & White cables will become “Closed”.
Intelligent Operating System (iQ)
The Bofa patent-protected award-winning Intelligent Operating System (iQ) performs at two distinct levels: operators benefit from the ease of operation and clarity of real time information and the system provides a cache of analytical data, enabling users to download performance and operating parameters for evaluation purposes.
Reverse flow air technology
The reverse flow air technology feature causes a fall in velocity and air direction change. Larger particulate falls out of the air stream into the filters drop out chamber. With less particulate entering the filter media the filter life is significantly increased. Contaminated air entering the drop out chamber is pulled vertically through the filters.
Automatic Flow Control (AFC)
AFC allows the operator to preset correct airflow rates for the specific application, subsequently maintaining this airflow. This generates lower noise levels and ensures further protection of HEPA filter.
Patented DeepPleat DUO Filters
The BOFA DeepPleat DUO pre-filter incorporates a massive drop-out chamber within the filter. Above this chamber but still within the housing there is a sealed deep pleat layer of F8 media giving a surface area in excess of 6/12/30 sq meters. Thanks to a specially molded grommet style gasket situated within the drop out chamber the DeepPleat DUO is designed for easy and safer installation and replacement, which is particularly important as often harmful contaminants are captured within the filter.
HEPA Filter and Advanced Carbon Filter (ACF)
HEPA filter filters 99.997% of particles at 0.3 microns in size. ACF helps enable safer filtering of hazardous fumes. Contaminated air must remain in contact with the carbon bed for a period of time sufficient to ensure that no contaminants or odors are emitted (‘dwell time’). Bofa design considers the balance between airflow rates and the type, depth and surface area of the carbon used to ensure suitability for the contaminants associated with the application and to ensure appropriate dwell times are achieved.
Multi Voltage Sensing Unit
MVS units automatically sense local voltage and automatically operate between 100-230V, for global use.
