The Fumexer.
In connection with the Aeron, the makers supply a special form of cabinet or booth, made of steel, which is called by them the "Fumexer," and is illustrated in Figs 83 to 89.
These are made in various sizes, from 3 feet to 16 feet wide, and 4 feet to 18 feet deep. They are each fitted with turn-table and specially constructed fans for drawing out the air, and with it the superfluous paint, enamel, etc.
Fig. 84 shows a side view of an 8-ft. Fumexer indicating the style of construction and funnel-shaped back clear to the floor.
The steel Fumexer with the Autocool electric exhaust fan installed is claimed to insure a maximum exhaust efficiency, and to completely remove all fumes arising from the work in the finishing room—at a minimum of power consumption.
The Fumexer is a fire-proof steel booth specially designed and built for the height of service. It is constructed of heavy sheet steel on an angle iron frame, with wire glass windows in sides and top. Provision is made for electric lights—reflector and sockets being built in.
The back of the Fumexer is funnel-shaped clear to the floor, which arrangement, together with the large fan opening, gives maximum exhausting results, especially on large work. The short exhaust pipe running from the back opening is easy to clean and permits of the placing of the Fumexer near outside wall.
To take care of all classes and styles of work, the Fumexer is regularly made in a variety of sizes as above mentioned with the proper number of fans installed. Other sizes to meet any special requirements are made to order.
A turn-table, which is adjustable, tilting and revolving—either floor or suspended type—is supplied with the Fumexer. This device facilitates the handling of a large percentage of work. The floor type turn-table is not fastened to the floor nor Fumexer and can be removed when not required.
