The ZT-4 is the choice of Raytheon® & the Canadian Armed Forces for fume extraction & filtration while soldering at the
bench. It "extracts fumes from flux and solder away from the operator."--NASA, 1/9/04

Effective Fume
Extraction for the Bench!
The
AirPlus™ ZT-4-MIL is
a space saving system for removal of the noxious fumes
during soldering and desoldering. The
ZT-4-MIL
was developed for use at workbenches, in
engineering labs, R&D workspaces or at a technician's
desk. It's MIL-Spec compliant
and ships with a One-Year Limited Warranty.
Plus the the ZT-4-MIL
is fabricated
of steel, not thin-walled plastic breaks.
The ZT-4 has a Full Metal Jacket™. There's no other
fume extractor like it! |
|
|
Best in
Its Class! The
ZT-4-MIL is
compact enough for your desk
or workbench, yet powerful enough to effectively filter pollutants and health hazards such as smoke, chemicals, air borne dust, fumes, and obnoxious odors.
Indeed, it is the very benchtop / desktop fume extractor selected
by the Canadian Armed Forces after careful competitive evaluation of other extractors.
Whisper-quiet during operation and
made for
heavy-duty, the
ZT-4-MIL
ships with six
carbon-activated filters! |

|
|
|
Our
Unique Super-tight™ Weave Filters! Our amazing
Super-Tight Weave™
activated carbon filters trap more fumes and more
particulate matter while the powerful extraction fan
draws the smoke and fumes away from your personal
breathing space. The ZT-4 has the "wow factor."
SuperTight™
Weave Filters Blow Away the Competition!
One of the notable distinctions is just how
effective these
SuperTight™
Weave
carbon-activated filters are at captivating
flux fumes. Hands down, the ZT-4 outperforms other personal
bench-top fume extractors. |

Make
the Comparison: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A
side-by-side visual comparison of
SuperTight Weave™
filters against others quickly reveals the advantage of
these impressive filters:
Our
carbon-activated mesh is woven far tighter with more cells to trap a greater
number of pollutants and particulate matter. |
|
And as
with the Canadian Armed Forces, after comparative
testing,
a U.S. Defense
Contactor itself further confirmed what we always knew:
our filters are far superior to others. And
hundreds upon hundreds of the
ZT-4's now sit in that facility in use. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Our SuperTight
Weave™
Filters Have More Cells
To Trap & Collect Pollutants
Rather Than
Letting Simply Pass Through
Like Other "Filters" |
|
After
a single day of heavy soldering activity, our
SuperTight™
Weave filters
were visibly filled with flux particulates trapped
inside its tight cells, while
the "filter" in a competitor's fume extractor unused. Why? Because the pores or openings within the other
"competitive" filters
are much larger --- allowing the smoke, fumes, and flux particulates to breeze through the filter and back into the factory...and employee’s lungs.
Don't settle for less. |
|
|
Because of
the demand for our superior
SuperTight™
Weave filters we now offer our carbon activated filters for other manufacturer’s fume extractors, so if you already have a benchtop smoke extractor, don’t be shy and give us a call.
We can fit your extractor with one of our filters. We’re sure your lungs will appreciate it.

Rugged Metal Construction & ESD-Safe for
Electronic Work:
ESD-Safe in a
all-metal case (not cheap thin-walled fragile plastic), the
ZT-4-MIL
ships with a 3-wire, grounded plug, a lighted rocker switch and
must pass
rigorous in-house testing at our Los Angeles
factory.
Over
60,000 Hours of Life!
The ZT-4-MIL
has a high
performance, long-life, metal-housed fan instead of
plastic fans typical of bench-top
fume extractors which wear out quickly.
|
|
Whisper-Quiet Operation! And still another striking
advantage is that the fan/blower within the
ZT-4-MIL
is built with
premium, ball-bearings which is why it
is so very quiet in comparison to other
"imports" with their cheap plastic "sleeve-bushing"
that whine and
squeal as they operate and only get worse over
time. Quiet operation.
Easy-To-Change Filters: Changing filters can
be a real nuisance with many fume extractors. But,
the
ZT-4's quick "snap-in" filter
guard makes changing filters a breeze! No tools or hardware
needed.
Just pop out the filter guard, replace your filter.
Done. In seconds! |

A Health Perspective on Solder Smoke & Fumes

What About the Fumes When One
Solders?
The soldering process requires the use of flux. As flux is activated through the application of heat, the by-products of smoke and fumes are generated and released into the air.
Flux is typically composed of rosin-resin and mixed with an activator, halogen organic agent
like pine resin, the smoke and fumes arising from the soldering activity can cause headaches, nausea and eye irritations. The main component of rosin is Abietic Acid . |
|
With
high temperatures typical when soldering, Abietic Acid becomes denatured to neo-abietic acid and noxious components such as salycylic acid (HOC H COOH) and pinene are released within smoke and fumes and into the immediate work area. Fluxes can contain high levels of resin/rosin which generate and release phenol (C H OH). The flux activators can generate and emit hydrogen chloride (HCL) and/or other compounds. |

|

Can You Find the ZT-4 On This Desk?
The ZT-4 AirPlus™
Smoke Extractor is Also Home at the Desktop. |
|
Most health problems associated with the soldering process are directly attributable to colophony which is the main constituent of rosin-based flux. At best, the smoke and fumes from flux activation
while soldering only causes coughing, sneezing, headaches, or watery eyes, but for one out of five unlucky operators, occupational asthma and chronic bronchitis can be the outcome. |
|
The Government of the United States along with the European
Union, Mexico and Japan now have occupational hazard standards relating to noxious gasses in the workplace and to permissible amounts of such compounds.
The ZT-4-MIL AirPlus™
helps to meet these standards when used properly. |
