Wolfgang Koehler, CEOWhat really sets ULT’s fume extraction systems apart in the market is their state-of-the-art filter technology, designed to efficiently remove a wide range of fumes, vapors, and dust generated during laser processes. Depending on the type of laser used in the process and the processed material ULT recommends the best approach possible, focusing on efficiency, worker’s safety and process stability. ULT’s equipment is designed to perform on the highest level 24/7, 365 days a year.
ULT offers fume extractors with either saturation or cartridge filters depending on the equipment they will be integrated with and the operational environment where they will be utilized. Saturation filter units comprise exchangeable filter modules and are suitable for low to medium pollutant concentrations and sticky dusts, especially those produced during laser cutting.
Cartridge filters are more suitable for medium to high pollutant concentrations, as their de-dusting filter modules can easily extract dry airborne contaminants. Based on the specific application of the fume extraction system, the relevant filters are selected and added to build a customized solution for the client.
While ULT might be a developer of cutting-edge, tailored products, it identifies itself as an engineering company first.
His statement is reflected in a recent instance, when a client in Mexico sought ULT’s help. Their extraction equipment had a disposable filter setup, which regularly clogged from the very sticky pollutants released from the laser-based plastic cutting process and the customer had to change filters every 24 hours. ULT assessed their workflow and implemented a customized extraction system with cleanable filters. The client can now run the laser cutting equipment for four months at a stretch without having to clean or replace the filter.
We are problem solvers, and for this reason, any organization with unique fume extraction requirements trusts us to build a solution that they can depend on for years, if not decades
The company is indeed a testament to the fact that innovation leads to optimization. Even though its focus is on the laser fume extraction space, ULT’s next-gen technology is extending its product range to serve the fast-evolving 3D printing and additive manufacturing space and its need for more efficient pollutant extraction systems. For OEM customers with laser and 3D printing equipment, incorporating ULT’s fume extraction units into their metal processing products will help deliver greater efficiency and safety capabilities. Considering such possibilities, ULT’s combination of German engineering and a U.S.-based workforce will revolutionize the industrial floors, laboratories, and workshops across the U.S.
