RF4 RF-SF4 - Desktop Solder Fume Extractor

Description

The RF4 RF-SF4 fume extractor is an essential desktop safety device for micro-soldering laboratories and smartphone repair workshops. During soldering phases, the rising temperature of solder and flux instantly releases rosin vapours and chemical microparticles that are highly irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. The RF-SF4 effectively addresses this issue by actively capturing these toxic fumes as soon as they are emitted at the workbench level.

Equipped with a high-efficiency industrial axial fan motor, this device generates a continuous airflow that sucks and diverts harmful fumes away from the technician's breathing zone. Unlike closed chemical filtration systems, the RF-SF4 operates on a high-speed direct propulsion and dispersion principle. This simplified design completely eliminates the need for filter cartridges or foams, ensuring zero operating costs for professionals and constant suction power over time, without pressure loss due to consumable clogging.

Ergonomically, the RF-SF4 stands out for its compactness and structural stability. Its chassis is injected in high-density engineering plastic, resistant to accidental solder splashes and radiant heat from soldering irons. Its wide, weighted base absorbs motor vibrations to avoid disturbing the workbench environment, while its pivoting axis allows the suction flow angle to be adjusted, whether the technician is working under a microscope or on a universal motherboard holder.

Technical specifications

Workshop Advice & Usage

To ensure optimal protection, position the RF-SF4 at a distance of between 10 and 15 cm maximum from your soldering iron tip or the area covered by your hot air station. Recommended method: Orient the suction flow to divert fumes horizontally towards the back of your workbench, ideally towards the general ventilation system or the extractor fan of your premises. As this model does not have an active carbon filter to recycle the air, it must be used in a regularly ventilated workspace to avoid the ambient accumulation of combustion gases.
