V 1000 iQ
V 1000 iQ
BOFA’s V 1000 iQ high-end extraction system combines extremely large filter capacity with high airflow and pressure rates, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications that generate large amounts of particulate and gaseous organic compounds. This unit can cater for up to 15 operators (dependent on installation) as a centralised system or can be used to help filter fumes from automated soldering machines.
Performance has been further enhanced with the inclusion of several new features including BOFA’s Intelligent Operating System (iQ), making the V 1000 iQ one of the most advanced systems available.
The iQ system takes performance parameters to a new level and helps keep maintenance, downtime and ownership costs to a minimum.

Key features of the V 1000 iQ

Intelligent Operating System (iQ)
Advanced extraction monitoring and control system bringing multiple performance enhancements to help with higher efficiency of extraction, independent filter status monitoring and integral design features that combine to help deliver a lower cost of ownership. It monitors the status of both the pre-filter and combined (main) filter.

DeepPleat DUO pre-filter
This pre-filter comes in three main sizes and incorporates a massive drop-out chamber and large volume area within the base of the filter. Above the drop-out chamber but still within the housing there is a sealed 200mm deep pleat layer of F8 media giving an impressive surface area.

HEPA filter
BOFA uses mini pleat design HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters which are tested and certified to a minimum efficiency of 99.995% down to 0.3 microns and 95% as small as 0.1 microns. They incorporate a series of webbing between the pleated media. This feature not only has even spacing for full filter coverage between each pleat but also helps to alleviate the possibility of airflow vibration or collapse.

Automatic flow control (AFC)
Automatic flow control (AFC) allows the operator to pre-set the correct airflow rates for the specific application, subsequently helping to maintain the airflow. This generates lower noise levels and helps to protect the more expensive HEPA filters.

Reverse flow air (RFA) technology
The RFA technology feature causes a fall in velocity and air direction change. Larger particulate falls out of the airstream into the filter’s drop-out chamber. With less particulate entering the filter media the filter life is significantly increased, helping to enhance filter capture performance and help ensure longer life.

Advanced carbon filter (ACF) technology
ACF assures safe capture and removal of hazardous fumes.
Contaminated air must remain in contact with the carbon bed for a period of time sufficient to ensure that no contaminants or odours are emitted (‘dwell time’). Our filters have been developed to capture all contaminants and odours, eliminating the risk of bypass and/or tunnelling.

Patented technology
BOFA invests in innovation and our products and technology have a heritage of being tried, tested and trusted for over 30 years. As a market leader, we are proud of our product designs and technology and take great care in protecting this intellectual property and our integrity. Our product range includes aspects which are protected under patent copyright, design copyright, registered design and trademark laws.

ProTECT service plan
Our ProTECT LEV service plan and compliance certification has been designed to give you the peace of mind that your LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) systems are being expertly maintained throughout their working life and you are kept within government guidelines and regulations in the UK.

SureCHECK quality standard
We recognised that quality, health and safety and environmental management are integral to our management. SureCHECK is far more than just written words, it touches every employee and is engrained within the company’s culture and business ethos. It is applied consistently across all our business activities on a world-wide basis.
