Protect Your Workspace from Solder Fumes
Soldering is essential for electronics repair, PCB assembly, and DIY projects, but the smoke generated during soldering can contain flux fumes, fine particles, and chemical compounds that affect indoor air quality.
A solder fume extractor helps capture contaminants directly at the source, keeping your workspace cleaner and providing a more comfortable soldering environment.
Why Use a Solder Fume Extractor?
Reduce Long-Term Exposure to Solder Fumes
Soldering produces smoke and fumes from flux and other materials. During frequent or long soldering sessions, these airborne contaminants can accumulate in your breathing area.
Ventilation Is Not Always Practical
Opening windows can help improve airflow, but it is not always a convenient solution. Many workshops, offices, and basements have limited ventilation, and keeping windows open may not be practical during extremely hot or cold weather.
How Does a Solder Fume Extractor Work?
A solder fume extractor works by capturing solder smoke and fumes directly from the source before they spread throughout your workspace. The extracted air passes through a 3-stage filtration system, including a pre-filter to capture larger particles, an H13 HEPA filter to remove fine airborne particles, and an activated carbon filter to help reduce odors and chemical fumes. After filtration, cleaner air is released back into the workspace, helping create a cleaner and more comfortable soldering environment.
Don’t Just Spread Fumes Around
A small desk fan may move solder smoke away from your face, but it does not remove the fumes from the air. The smoke and particles remain in your workspace and can spread to other areas.
A dedicated solder fume extractor captures and filters airborne contaminants instead of simply circulating them.

Do you provide 110V or 220V plugs?
We provide the appropriate plug and voltage version based on your shipping address. Your FumeClear solder fume extractor will be shipped with the power configuration suitable for your region, so you can use it right out of the box.
How often should I replace the filters?
How often should I replace the filters?
Filter replacement frequency depends on your usage and working environment. As a general guideline, the pre-filter should be replaced every 1–3 months, the H13 HEPA filter every 3–6 months, and the activated carbon filter every 6–8 months. For the best performance, we recommend checking the filters regularly and replacing them when they become visibly dirty or airflow decreases.
