   The ZT-4 Premium Military-Spec Fume Extractor    
 

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

 
 
Premium Fume Extraction for Military and High-End Soldering. The ZT-4-MIL AirPlus Excels at Fume Extraction During Soldering and DeSoldering.
 

Effective Fume Extraction for the Bench! Contributing to a healthy work environment, the new Zephyrtronics AirPlus ZT-4-MIL is a convenient, space saving method of removing noxious fumes from the workplace. Engineered by Zephyrtronics' top design group, the ZT-4-MIL was developed for use at the production work bench, in the engineering lab, R&D workspaces, or even at a technician's desk. It's MIL-Spec compliant and ships with a One-Year Limited Warranty. Moreover, the the ZT-4-MIL is fabricated of steel, not thin-walled plastic that can does break. The ZT-4 has a Full Metal Jacket™.  There's no other fume extractor like it!

Best in Its Class!  The AirPlus
ZT-4-MIL is your personal air-cleaning system, small enough for your desk or workbench and, yet powerful enough to effectively filter pollutants and health hazards such as smoke, chemicals, air borne dust, fumes, and obnoxious odors. Indeed, this is the very benchtop / desktop fume extractor selected by the Canadian Armed Forces after careful evaluation of other so-called extractors. Whisper-quiet during operation, and fabricated even heavy-duty industrial soldering, the  ZT-4-MIL is just in a higher-class of its own compared to most all other benchtop extractors. And 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 the SuperTight Weave filters with others quickly reveals the advantage of our impressive filters: Our carbon-activated mesh is weaved far tighter with more carbon activated cells which trap and catch a greater number of pollutants and particulate matter.

After comparative testing, a U.S. Defense Contactor confirmed what we always knew: our filters are far superior to others: After a single day of heavy soldering activity, our SuperTight Weave filters were completely white with flux particulates captured within its tight carbon activated cells, while on the next bench, the "filter" within a competitor's fume extractor still looked pristine and unused after an equal day of heavy soldering.  Why was that?

Because the pores or openings within the other "competitive" filters are much larger --- allowing the smoke, fumes, and flux particulants to breeze through the filter and back into the factory...and employee’s lungs. Don't settle for less.

 
   

Our SuperTight Weave Filters Have More Cells To Trap & Collect Pollutants Rather Than Letting Simply Pass Through Like Other "Filters"

 

Demand for our SuperTight Weave filters has now led Zephyrtronics to 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 and we can fit your extractor with one of our filters. We’re sure your lungs will appreciate it.

Rugged, Durable All Metal Construction and ESD-Safe for Electronic Work:  Fully ESD-Safe in a industrially durable metal case (not some cheesy cheap, thin-walled plastic and fragile box), the ZT-4-MIL AirPluscomes with a three-wire, grounded plug, an illuminated, lighted rocker switch, and is subjected to rigorous in-house testing at our Los Angeles factory.

Over 60,000 Hours of Life! Another distinguishing design feature is that the ZT-4-MIL AirPlus features a high performance, long-life, metal-housed fan instead of the plastic fans typical within most bench-top fume extractors which wear out in short time. This is a tool, not a toy. Why settle for less? Your lungs are worth it.

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. Respecting your workplace, the ZT-4-MIL AirPlus does its work quietly.

 
 

Easy-To-Change Filter Design: Changing filters can be a real nuisance with many fume extractors. However, the quick "snap-in" feature of the ZT-4's filter guard makes changing your carbon filter a breeze! Zephyrtronics has eliminated the need for any tools or hardware. Just pop out the filter guard, replace your filter and in seconds you are back in business.

A Health Perspective on Solder Smoke & Fumes

newzt4pict4

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.

Because flux is typically composed of rosin-resin and mixed with an activator, halogen organic agent some times called 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 the elevated temperatures typical of the soldering process, the Abietic Acid becomes denatured to neo-abietic acid and noxious components such as salycylic acid (HOC H COOH) and pinene are released within the 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
.

 
    Technician Solders With ZT-4 Fume Extractor in Background on Bench
  zt4pict5  

The majority of health problems long 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 during the soldering process will only cause coughing, sneezing, headaches, or watery eyes, but for some one out of five unlucky operators, occupational asthma and chronic bronchitis can sometimes be the outcome.

The Government of the United States along with the European Common Market, Mexico and Japan now have occupational hazard standards relating to noxious gasses in the workplace and to permissible amounts of such compounds.

Indeed, fume extraction equipment is now required within the European Common Market. The Zephyrtronics ZT-4-MIL AirPlus
helps to meet these standards when used properly.
