BOFA delivers
Innovation in filtration
Exchange filters on-site, without risking a thermal event
Filters are contained within a separate housing, with a robust seal, enabling filter exchange to be completed quickly and safely in a location remote from the process floor. The long filter life significantly reduces the frequency of filter replacement, further increasing productivity.
BOFA delivers
Increased productivity and process quality
Designed in partnership with a leading additive manufacturing company
The AM 400 is part of BOFA’s significant investment in AM solutions, providing longer filter life and a leak-proof sealed extractor. It delivers a range of benefits for OEMs in the 3D metal printing sector. We can also work in partnership with customers to create a customized solution.
