The Hakko FA-430 fume extraction unit is designed expressly for use at soldering stations, extracting the contaminated air directly at the source.

Contaminated air is captured from the workplace surrounding the soldering station by the hood or hoods, and transferred to the FA-430 unit by rigid ducts, and a special replacement filter notification function notifies the operator when the filter needs to be replaced.

Inside the unit, two filters, comprising three stages of filtering, remove the contaminants from the air. The purified air is then returned to the area where the FA-430 is located.

The pre-filter removes coarse particles, such as dust, thus extending the life of the main filter. The main filter provides the greatest amount of surface area within the volume of the filter case.

The standard filters contain an activated carbon element built into the filter. This filter is designed to last the life of the main filter.

Quiet operation and powerful suction.
Exhaust noise has been reduced without sacrificing suction performance by the addition of a silencer unit to the exhaust outlet to ensure smooth air outflow. A high-performance motor with 1,500 Pa of static pressure provides powerful suction and quiet operation.

Notes regarding graph:
The HAKKO FA-430 features significantly reduced noise level in medium airflow mode despite the fact that suction performance remains almost unchanged compared to the previous model. High airflow mode also provides quieter operation than the previous model.
* Suction performance values are for when two ducts are used.
* Measured values for HAKKO 421 were taken when the unit was used with a 60 Hz power supply.

Catch harmful smoke with freestanding ducts and adjustable air volume to suit your working environment.
Is your smoke absorber affected by air conditioning? Are you fed up with having to re-adjust ducts after every line change? The HAKKO FA-430 fume extractor is the answer to your problems.

Airflow adjustment.
Three airflow modes are available: High, Medium, and Low. Significantly improve your working environment by using an airflow volume that suits the worksite and the job.

• Low mode: Not easily affected by the surrounding environment. For use in small, quiet locations. (For when low-noise operation is a priority.)
• Medium mode: For normal use.
• High mode: For use in locations that are significantly affected by the surrounding environment. (For when suction performance is a priority.)

Freestanding ducts.
Ducts can be bent or lengthened as desired and maintain their shape after adjustment, letting you place them exactly where suction is needed. Say goodbye forever to ducts that are long, heavy, and hard-to-handle.

If the duct is mounted at an angle above the workpiece, it is easily affected by air conditioning.

If the duct is mounted directly above, it can be difficult to see the workpiece.

Duct is mounted on the worktable to provide excellent suction performance.

Filter replacement notification function ensures excellent trapping efficiency can be maintained at all times.
No matter how sophisticated a fume extractor is, if the filter is not replaced at the correct time, it will not be able to give maximum performance. The HAKKO FA-430 detects the number of fan revolutions and notifies the operator of the appropriate time to replace the filter, guaranteeing a comfortable working environment.

Pre-filter When the pre-filter is 80% clogged or has been used for 200 hours, the orange indicator flashes on and off.

Main filter When the 10th pre-filter needs replacing, the orange and red lamps flash on and off.
