The electronics industry is developing at a rapid pace, and precision and quality are the cornerstones of any success in this sector. Unfortunately, processes such as manual or automated soldering carry an invisible risk – toxic fumes.
How can you effectively ensure the safety of your staff without compromising the maximum efficiency of the production line? The answer lies in advanced filtration systems BOFA.
The invisible enemy: Why are solder fumes dangerous?
When soldering electronic components, fumes containing harmful resin particles and volatile organic compounds are released. Exposure to rosin-based solder fumes is particularly hazardous.
Good to know: Regular inhalation of rosin fumes is one of the most common causes of occupational asthma. Ignoring this problem can lead to long-term and irreversible health effects among workers.
Investing in a professional fume extraction system is not only a matter of complying with health and safety standards, but above all a demonstration of responsibility towards the team and a way of ensuring business continuity without work stoppages due to illness.
BOFA Technology: Solutions tailored to your needs
Solder fume extraction systems have been designed for both single-operation and multi-operation workstations. We know that every production process is different, which is why BOFA’s range includes two dedicated product lines:
1. „T” series – Extraction directly from the tip (High Pressure / Low Airflow)
The ideal solution for soldering processes requiring high pressure and low air flow. The extraction system, fitted directly to the soldering iron tip, captures contaminants exactly where they are generated – before they have a chance to spread into the surrounding area.

2. „V” Series – Area filtration (Low Pressure / High Airflow)
Designed for electronic processes requiring low pressure and high air flow (e.g. extraction from suction arms or machine housings).
What makes the „V” series stand out?
-
- Three-stage filtration: A reliable filter system (pre-filter, HEPA and carbon filter) traps up to 99.997% of harmful particles and gases.
- Advanced airflow technology: It ensures optimum circulation and maximum efficiency of the unit.
- Smart filter status display: The system provides real-time updates on the wear and tear of the filters, allowing them to be replaced exactly when necessary – without any risk of a drop in performance.

Where are BOFA systems best suited?
Our filtration systems are versatile units that are ideally suited to standard applications in the electronics industry, such as:
- Hand soldering – protection of manual workstations where the operator is directly exposed to smoke in the air.
- Automated soldering – integration with soldering robots and production lines, where reliability and continuous operation under heavy loads are essential.
Summary: Safety that pays off
Clean air in a production facility is not a luxury – it is the standard in modern Industry 4.0. By choosing BOFA systems, you can be sure that your workstations are safe, and that advanced technology ensures the highest quality of finished electronics packages, protecting them from contamination.
