Efficient solder fume extraction for clean and safe working environments
Soldering produces harmful vapours, particles and gases - especially from fluxes such as rosin. These can irritate the eyes and respiratory tract, trigger allergic reactions and lead to long-term illnesses. A powerful solder fume extraction system is therefore essential to ensure a safe, clean and legally compliant working environment.
Our extraction systems for soldering fumes capture emissions directly at the source and reliably filter them out of the air using multi-stage systems consisting of pre-filters, fine dust filters and activated carbon filters. Depending on the application, mobile solutions for changing workplaces or stationary systems for fixed soldering lines are available.
Employers are obliged to take suitable protective measures as part of the risk assessment in accordance with Section 6 of the Hazardous Substances Ordinance (GefStoffV) as soon as hazardous substances are present. Our devices help to comply with occupational exposure limits (OELs), protect employee health and avoid production downtimes.

Efficient solder fume extraction for safe and clean workplaces
Soft soldering produces harmful vapours, particles and gases - especially from fluxes containing rosin. Our solder fume extraction systems ensure reliable capture of these emissions directly at the source and enable a safe, productive and standard-compliant working environment.
Your benefits at a glance:
-
Efficient separation of pollutants: Removal of even fine smoke particles thanks to multi-stage filter technology with pre-filters, fine dust filters and activated carbon filters
-
Healthy working environment: Protection of employees from irritating or allergenic substances such as formaldehyde, isopropanol or colophony residues
-
Low-maintenance and durable: Robust design, tool-free filter change, optionally with digital monitoring
-
Legally compliant operation: Support in complying with occupational exposure limit values (OEL) and measures from the risk assessment in accordance with Section 6 GefStoffV
Manual soldering, repair soldering stations or series production: Our extraction systems can be flexibly adapted to your work processes and workplace requirements - mobile or stationary.
Soldering fumes at the soldering workplace - clean air at the workplace
Soldering produces fine particles and vapours that can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract - with risks to health, concentration and long-term performance. Our solder fume extractors capture the emissions directly at the source and reliably filter them out of the air using modern multi-stage technology.
This not only ensures a healthier working environment, but also fulfils all requirements from the risk assessment (§6 GefStoffV) and contributes to compliance with the workplace limit values (AGW).
Your benefits:
-
Healthy employees: Reduction of harmful substances such as formaldehyde or colophony smoke
-
Less downtime: Less absence due to illness thanks to clean air
-
Safe processes: Reliable filtration and long-term stable working conditions
Our extraction units are suitable for all soldering workstations - from ESD tables to automated series production.

FAQ – Your Questions About Solder Fume Extraction
Why is solder fume extraction necessary?
Soldering generates harmful fumes and particles, especially from fluxes such as rosin. Without proper extraction, these substances enter the breathing air and can cause long-term health issues. A professional extraction system provides effective protection and ensures compliance with legal requirements.
What types of extraction systems are suitable for soldering?
Options include mobile tabletop extractors, stationary units, or centrally managed systems. Key factors include the workstation type, air volume, filtration requirements, and desired level of automation.
How do I find the right extraction system for my production?
Important factors include the number of workstations, soldering processes used, type of flux, and room layout. Our experts will help you select the right system – from single-station units to series production solutions.
What regulations apply to solder fume extraction?
According to Section 6 of the German Hazardous Substances Ordinance (GefStoffV), employers are required to assess and reduce airborne hazardous substances. Occupational exposure limits (AGW) must also be observed – for example, for formaldehyde or isopropanol.
How often do filters need to be replaced?
This depends on usage, contamination levels, and the filter system. TEKA recommends regular visual checks and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Many units are equipped with digital filter status indicators.
Are mobile solder fume extractors available?
Yes, mobile tabletop units are ideal for individual workstations, changing locations, or temporary use. They are easy to integrate and highly flexible.
What types of filters are used in solder fume extraction systems?
Multi-stage filter combinations are typically used: pre-filters for coarse particles, fine dust filters (e.g. HEPA H13/H14), and activated carbon filters for gas adsorption. The configuration depends on the type of contaminants and workplace requirements.
Can existing soldering workstations be retrofitted?
Yes. Many TEKA systems are modular and can be easily integrated into existing workstations or production lines – even during ongoing operations.
Are there funding opportunities for solder fume extraction systems?
Depending on industry, region, or project scope, funding may be available through programs such as BAFA, BG ETEM, or regional initiatives. We’ll gladly support you with research and application.
Does TEKA offer leasing or rental options?
TEKA primarily sells systems directly. However, rental or leasing models can be arranged individually – for testing, interim use, or temporary projects. Please contact us for details.
