• Tired of all the mist?? Meet the NEW Filtrabox D-Mr³ for your CNC machine (Jul 17, 2025)
  The D-Mr³ is a 3 stage coolant/oil de-mister for CNC machines. It includes an oversized HEPA filter that provides greater flow efficiency and longer life. The Canted Cube design enhances coolant drainage for even greater filter longevity  You can expect consistent fog-free operation with the Smart-Flow controller, which uses airflow and pressure sensors to maintain the ideal flow across the life of the filter. It also features easy filter access for quick filter replacements.
  
  Key Specifications and Features: 

  • For CNC machine enclosures up to 250 ft³ (500-700 CFM) 
  • EC brushless motor for precise control and reliability. 
  • Smart-Flow control system. Maintains consistent demisting performance across the life of the filter.  
  • Dimensions: 22" x 22" x 22" 
  • Inlet Connection: 4" or 6" diameter
  • Highest Performance and oversized HEPA (99.995% @ 0.3 micron)  included as standard. (More than double the surface area compared to typical de-misters). 
  • Washable stainless steel mesh and baffle type pre-filters. 
  • Pendant Remote/Interface is included for easy control and filter status visibility.

• Big Industrial Performance from a Compact Fume Extractor. The NEW Filtrabo (Jul 18, 2025)

  Big Industrial Performance from a Plug-and-Play Compact Laser Fume Extractor. The NEW Filtrabox ExpandXF Series Delivers.  

  Introducing Filtrabox’s new Expand-XF series laser fume extractors. Built for the more challenging demands of industrial laser cleaning, high-power laser welding, and high-throughput laser cutting/engraving. Bigger and more powerful laser machines means more fumes with finer particles and more VOCs. 
  The ExpandXF delivers BIG industrial fume extraction performance in a quiet, compact  and mobile format. The slim-line, plug and play design saves valuable floor space and allows you to easily move the extractor around for multiuse flexibility - it even fits through standard doorways!  
  
  With 44 square meters of prefilter, 44 square meters of HEPA media (class leading efficiency: 99.999% @0.3 micron) , and 240lbs of VOC adsorption media, the ExpandXF is already equipped to handle heavier submicron and gaseous fume loads. You just have to decide how much airflow you need. You can choose to have 1 - 6 blowers in the system. One blower with 235 CFM not enough for you? No problem!  Upgrade the system to 1410 cfm within minutes by adding 5 more blowers. The ExpandXF is extremely flexible. It can be set-up for exceptional air-to-cloth ratios (1:3) for dramatically longer filter life or for high volume airflow with extreme suction pressure capabilities (1410 cfm max, 40” H20 max). No matter how many blowers you choose, You can expect consistent fume-free operation with the Auto-compensation controller, which uses airflow sensors and intelligence to maintain the ideal extraction flow across the life of the filter. 
  
  As with all Filtrabox products, the ExpandXF is designed for easy serviceability using easy to swap electronics modules and quick-change filter cartridges. It’s also supported by a real human tech support team and a reliable parts supply chain. 
  Whether you’re upgrading to a more powerful laser or scaling up operations across multiple systems, the Expand-XF is the intelligent choice to keep your air clean and your productivity uninterrupted.
   

• Meet Our Newest Compact Fume Extractor - The CompactX-M; It Comes With You! (Jul 18, 2025)
  Filtrabox Launches the CompactX-M: A Mobile Fume Extractor Built for Laser Cleaning in the Field
  
  PAT Technology proudly introduces its latest innovation in fume extraction: the Filtrabox CompactX-M—a fully mobile, rugged fume extractor designed specifically for fume extraction in industrial, outdoor, and field environments.
  
  The CompactX-M rolls easily to the job site and is maneuverable in tight spaces.

  Key Benefits:

  1. Ease of Transport Across Job Sites

  • Pneumatic rear tires make it easy to move the unit across rough or uneven terrain, such as gravel yards, construction zones, or outdoor industrial sites.

  • Swivel front casters give it tight maneuverability indoors and in confined work areas, like inside factories or around machinery. Scissor lifts and suspended platforms.

  2. Reduced Setup Time

  • Roll it directly to the work area rather than needing long ducting or repositioning the workpiece.

  • This reduces the time to start cleaning - more professional and efficient.

  3. Adaptability to Varied Environments

  • Many laser cleaning jobs are done on-site (e.g., ships, monuments, pipelines, bridges), so mobility is crucial.

  • Moving the system multiple times during a single job is common. A highly portable unit enables fast redeployment.

  4. Safer Operation

  • Closer proximity to the laser ablation area = better fume and dust capture = lower exposure to toxic or combustible particulates.
  • Minimizes the need for long hose runs that reduce airflow performance or pose tripping hazards.
  • Tamperproof Lockable Lid

  
  ​​​The CompactX-M also has all the benefits you've come to rely upon with the CompactX
