Fume Extractors for Encaustic Painting Studios

Melted encaustic wax releases unpleasant fumes containing acrolien as-well-as other various aldehydes. The concentration of these emissions increases at higher working temperatures commonly found in encaustic art or paint applications. If not properly vented, these emissions can become an encaustic safety issue leading to headache, nausea, and possible future respiratory concerns. Encaustic supplies such as the Vent-A-Fume encaustic fume extractor removes undesirable fumes directly at the source.

The Vent-A-Fume Model ENC2015 Fume Extractor is a complete ventilation system designed for encaustic palette venting. It is easy to assemble for installation on workbenches and tabletops. Its ergonomic, lightweight design makes the portable unit easy to transport and reposition as needed. (Note: if you prefer an overhead, canopy-hood style fume extractor, click to see our table-mounted model.)

The close-capture design of Vent-A-Fume allows for quick and efficient removal of virtually all emissions. It utilizes a positive-pressure system that exhausts excess heat and fumes to the outside or into existing ductwork.

Removing and ventilating fumes is a critical concern in today’s safety-conscious work environment. Vent-A-Fume’s table-mounted fume extractor helps provide healthier conditions for encaustic painting studios as well as other similar fume-producing processes such as: oil painting, nail manicuring, spot soldering, jewelry curing and dental ovens.
