Q3:How does the KNOKOO Fume extractor work?

Its working principle is very simple and efficient, mainly consisting of three steps:

Near-source capture: The device's built-in powerful fan, through a flexible and shape-adjustable universal suction arm or desktop suction hood, creates negative pressure near the source of dust or smoke, drawing in pollutants immediately.

Multi-layer filtration: The drawn-in polluted air passes through the following layers in sequence:

Pre-filter: Intercepts large particles of dust, hair, and fibers (such as large fragments from nail polishing or coarse particles from jewelry polishing).

HEPA high-efficiency filter: Captures the most harmful fine particles (such as PM2.5, metal dust, and nail dust), with an efficiency of over 99.97%.

Activated carbon filter: Adsorbs harmful gases and odors (such as the smell of laser burning).

Clean emission: Through multiple purification processes, the release of harmful substances outdoors and the resulting secondary pollution to the environment are avoided.

Q4:How do I choose the right model for my laser machine or soldering station?

The selection depends primarily on your application type, equipment power, and fume generation. You can refer to the following suggestions:

Small laser engraving/marking machines, single-person welding stations:We recommend the FES150 or FES350. Their compact design, low noise, and moderate airflow make them ideal for desktop or small workstations.

Medium-sized laser cutting machines, dual-station welding, medical and aesthetic equipment:We recommend the FES350PRO or FES600. These models offer greater airflow and suction power, can be equipped with single or dual arms, and can meet the needs of medium-load continuous operation.

Large industrial laser cutting machines, multi-station production, 3D printing clusters:We recommend the FES1000. It features an ultra-high airflow (up to 1000 m³/h) and supports connection to multiple fume arms or large fume hoods, making it ideal for heavily polluted industrial environments.

If unsure:The best approach is to contact our sales engineers, providing your equipment model, processing materials, and working hours. We will provide you with the most accurate selection advice.

Q5:How often should the equipment's filter be replaced? How can I determine this?

The filter replacement cycle depends on usage frequency, contaminant concentration, and type. For example, nail polishing typically generates more dust than welding fumes, so filter replacement may be more frequent. There's no fixed time, but you can determine this using the following methods:

Smart Alarm (Mid-to-High-End Models): Models like the KNOKOO FES600/1000 are equipped with a filter clogging alarm. When contaminants accumulate on the filter to a certain level, causing a decrease in airflow, the device will automatically issue an audible and visual alarm, reminding you to replace the filter.

Observation Window/Suction Sensor: Some devices have an observation window, allowing you to observe the dust accumulation on the pre-filter surface. If you notice a significant decrease in suction power from the fume extraction arm, or if you start to smell an odor in the workshop, it indicates the filter may be saturated and needs to be checked and replaced.

Experience Reference: For regular 8 hours/day welding or laser marking, the pre-filter may need cleaning or replacement every 1-3 months, while the main HEPA and activated carbon filters are typically replaced every 6-12 months.

Q6:Why does the suction power decrease after using it for a period of time?

Reduced suction power is usually caused by the following reasons:

Filter clogging (most common): This is normal, especially in high-dust applications such as jewelry polishing and nail art, where the filter will quickly become saturated. Please replace the filter promptly according to the alarm prompts or maintenance guidelines.

Dust duct/exhaust arm blockage: Check the exhaust arm or connecting hoses for large debris (such as polishing wax blocks or fiber clumps) clogging them.

Dust collection box/pre-filter full: If the equipment is equipped with a pre-dust collection box or metal mesh pre-filter, please clean it promptly.

Dust duct leakage: Check that the exhaust arm interface with the machine and the duct connection are properly sealed.

Door not properly closed: Check that the front door or inspection cover of the equipment is completely closed. If not properly closed, it can cause a short circuit in the airflow.

Q7: Can the KNOKOO smoke extractor really protect my health?

Yes, that's its primary function. The fumes produced by laser welding or cutting contain a large number of particulate matter (PM2.5) with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, as well as various pollutants such as welding fumes and benzene. Long-term inhalation can seriously harm respiratory health.

The KNOKOO fume extractor uses a HEPA high-efficiency filter to effectively intercept more than 99.97% of harmful microparticles in the air; at the same time, the activated carbon filter can adsorb harmful gases and unpleasant odors such as formaldehyde and ozone. This ensures that the air you breathe is clean and safe, providing a solid barrier for your health.

Q8:Is this device noisy when in use?

The suction power of a smoke purifier depends on the fan speed and airflow.

The stronger the suction, the faster the fan speed, and the more intense the airflow, resulting in more noticeable wind noise and motor operation sound. This is a normal physical phenomenon for all ventilation and purification equipment.

Our equipment, while ensuring strong suction, has optimized the air duct, added vibration damping and sound-absorbing materials to control noise within a reasonable range. If lower noise is needed, the speed setting can be lowered appropriately; for more effective purification, it is recommended to use the highest speed setting for the most noticeable results.

Q9:Is the routine maintenance of the equipment complicated?

It's very simple. Routine maintenance mainly includes two parts:

For nail/buffing users: It is recommended to clean the dust accumulation on the suction arm inlet, dust box, or pre-filter surface with the included small brush or vacuum cleaner after each day's work. This will significantly extend the life of the main filter.

Some models' metal mesh pre-filters are washable, but must be thoroughly dried before reinstalling.

Filter replacement: When an alarm sounds or you feel a decrease in suction power, simply open the front door or top of the device, remove the old HEPA/activated carbon composite filter, and replace it with a new one. The entire process requires no tools and takes only one minute.
