Solder fume extraction for electronics manufacturing, workshops and laboratories
TEKA solder fume extractors capture fumes and gases from the flux directly at the soldering point, from a single hand soldering station to a soldering system.

Extraction directly at the soldering point
Capture before the fumes rise
Extraction arms, hoods and nozzles bring the capture close to the soldering tip. The extraction unit filters particles through HEPA filters and gases through activated carbon. The arm can be positioned so that it does not get in the way while soldering.
For professional use
For continuous operation, several soldering stations and soldering systems in electronics manufacturing, laboratories and training. We advise you on the right solution and, on request, measure the exposure at your workstations.

Which solder fume extraction suits your workstation?
Soldering produces fine particles as well as gases and odours from the flux. The right extraction depends on the number of soldering stations, the amount of solder fume and whether soldering is done by hand or in a system.
Solder fume extractors for single workstations
Compact units are suitable for single hand soldering stations with little solder fume:
- AirFilter Mini: compact, for low fume generation and quiet workplaces
- FilterCase Basic: for soldering and laser emissions with very little fume, for example in the jewellery industry
The AirFilter Mini filters in three stages with a pre-filter and a combi filter of main filter and activated carbon. It is designed for continuous operation and is used, for example, in electronics manufacturing, laboratories and dental and medical technology. The FilterCase Basic is also available as a set with two extraction arms and bench mounts, so it is quickly ready for use at two stations.
Extraction unit for several soldering stations
If several stations are extracted at the same time or soldering systems are connected, more air capacity is needed:
- CleanMaster series: for high air demand, several hand soldering stations and soldering systems
- LMD series: for several soldering stations and for marking and engraving lasers
Several extraction arms or hoods can be connected to one unit. Filter maintenance then takes place in one place instead of at every single station. LMD units can also be coupled with a laser system and integrated into its operation.
All units can be found under mobile filter systems for soldering and lasering.
Solder fume extraction at the bench
At the soldering workstation, the capture element is usually mounted directly on the bench. For this, TEKA offers the Alsident® capture elements: extraction arms in small nominal sizes, hoods, slot and tube nozzles, bench mounts and extraction cabinets.
- Antistatic: for ESD workstations
- Chemically resistant: for example for laboratories
- Aluminium or flexible: depending on the workstation
The elements can be combined freely: an extraction arm with hood or nozzle is attached via a bench mount or to the wall or ceiling and connected to the extraction unit. This way, every soldering station can be equipped to suit.
To choose: Alsident capture systems.
Filter technology for solder fume
- Pre-filter: retains coarser particles and protects the main filters.
- HEPA filter: separates the fine particles, with filter class H13 on LMD and CleanMaster units.
- Activated carbon: absorbs gases and odours from the flux.
- Filter monitoring: shows, depending on the model, when a change is due.
Mobile or permanently installed?
Mobile solder fume extractors stand next to or under the bench and can be moved when needed. For several fixed stations or entire lines, stationary extraction and filter systems with pipework are suitable.
Soldering and lasering
Many units are suitable for solder fume and laser fume. Find out more about extraction for laser processing on our page on laser fume extraction.
From advice to maintenance
We are happy to discuss which solder fume extraction suits you. With an on-site air quality measurement we determine the exposure at your workstations. The funding check shows whether funding may be available.
Extraction technology that knows your industry
Series production, workshops and plant engineering each have their own requirements for limit values, air performance and continuous operation. Our systems are designed for this and in use from medium-sized companies to large corporations.

FAQ: your questions about solder fume extraction
What is solder fume extraction?
A unit that extracts and filters fumes and gases during soldering directly at the soldering point. Particles are separated by HEPA filters, gases and odours by activated carbon.
Which solder fume extractor suits a single soldering station?
Compact units such as the AirFilter Mini or the FilterCase Basic are suitable for single stations with little solder fume. For several stations or soldering systems, the CleanMaster and LMD series are the better choice.
Can I connect several soldering stations to one unit?
Yes, the CleanMaster and LMD series are designed for several soldering stations. How many stations make sense depends on the air demand. We are happy to advise you.
Is there antistatic extraction for ESD workstations?
Yes, the Alsident® capture elements from TEKA are also available in an antistatic version.
How often do the filters need to be changed?
That depends on the utilisation and the amount of solder fume. Depending on the model, filter monitoring shows when a change is due.
How much does solder fume extraction cost?
That depends on the unit, the number of soldering stations and the equipment. You can see your conditions after logging in to the shop, and we will also be happy to prepare a quotation for you.
