Fume extraction
May 1st 2009

Purex International, has come to the aid of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago by donating a fume extraction system to their Toymaker 3000 assembly line.

ToyMaker 3000 is an exhibit that takes you through the entire manufacturing process of creating a toy. The exhibit consists of eight interactive stations, twelve moving robots and a 2,000-square-foot automated assembly line that can assemble three hundred Gravitron toys per hour. Until Purex helped out, the museum staff were having problems keeping the laser on the Toymaker line running and the enclosure clean using their old fume extractor, as Roger Harris from the museum explains.

"We were having problems with our old fume extraction system but now we have installed the Purex system and it has been working without a hitch. The Purex system is quieter, has no odours, looks better and is more efficient than what we were using. In fact, since we cleaned the laser guard during the installation (something our techs had to do every few weeks), we haven't needed to clean it again!"
