TECHNICAL FEATURES Description The portable F-Tech Pocket uses a mechanical filtration system to purify the air. The air is sucked in through the nozzle, positioned near the pollutant source and connected to the purifier by means of flexible tubing, through the filtration section in which occurs the separation of the particulates (dust present in welding). After this first stage of separation, the air passes through the fan first and then passes through a panel with activated carbon for deodorization.
