Portable Fume Extractors
350–1,500 CFM · Flexible arms · Self-cleaning & disposable filter options · 115V plug & play
Roll it to the job. Plug it in. Breathe clean air.
Portable fume extractors are the simplest way to add source capture where a central system isn’t practical — or isn’t in the budget yet. Roll the unit to the workstation, extend the fume arm, plug it in, and you’ve got clean air at the breathing zone. No ductwork, no installation, no production downtime.
We carry three brands — IAP Air Products, Plymovent, and Micro Air — so we can match the right unit to your application, budget, and duty cycle. Light-duty school labs don’t need the same machine as a production fabrication shop running 10 hours a day.
Not sure which unit fits your operation? We do free site assessments and can demo units in your facility. For a full breakdown of system costs, see our 2026 cost guide.

Still not sure? A portable might not be the right answer at all. If you’ve got fixed workstations, a downdraft table or wall-mounted fume arm with filtration might be a better fit. If you’ve got 4+ stations, a central cartridge collector is almost always more cost-effective long term. We’ll help you figure it out.
Where Shops Use Them Every Day
Job Shops
One machine today, another tomorrow. Roll the extractor where the work is.
Maintenance & Repair
Take the collector to the equipment — not the other way around.
Tool Rooms
Grinding, deburring, polishing — small-volume dust that still needs capture.
