DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Metcal, part of OK International and Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leader in benchtop soldering for electronics and industrial manufacturing, announced the launch of its BVX-250 Fume Extraction System. The new 2-port portable fume extractor offers HEPA filtration and several innovations for changing the filter, exhausting the air, and communicating with the operator.

"With high performance, simple filter changes, innovative exhausting and advanced communication, the BVX-250 offers manufacturers and operators an improved user experience in a compact, 12lb system," said Joshua Edberg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Metcal.

The BVX-250's patented front-facing filter allows the user to change the HEPA filter quickly without having to manipulate the system. The pre-filter is in a separate front-facing compartment and can easily be changed by the operator as needed.

"The BVX-250 offers a patented 360˚-rotating exhaust diverter that enables users to direct exhaust away from the operator. Since these systems are positioned in various locations, the upgraded features allowing the exhaust to be adjustable provide a significantly improved user experience," said Can La, Product Director of Metcal.

This BVX-250 will improve communication between the fume extractor and the operator. New features, such as a large LED status ring and direct connectivity from the fume extractor to Metcal CV and GT soldering systems, enable easy-to-view filter notifications from either touchpoint. Additionally, when connected to a Metcal CV or GT soldering system, the operator can utilize a "smart fume extraction" setting to run the fume extractor only when the soldering iron is active and save energy.
