Purex High-Capacity Systems (800i, 1500i, 2000i, 5000i)

• Product Features: Larger fume extraction machines for high-volume or continuous duty. These digital units have higher airflow (e.g. ~800 m³/h for the 800i, and up to 2000 m³/h+ for the 2000i and 5000i central systems). They share many features with the smaller “i” series – digital displays with menu controls, automated flow control, and integrated gas/particulate sensors for safety. The “Tiered” models (e.g. 800i 2-Tier or 3-Tier) contain multiple filter chambers to handle very heavy fume loads or finer particulate needs. For example, the 750/800 Range units include 2-tier and 3-tier configurations, effectively stacking pre-filters, HEPA, and gas filters for extended filter life. They are built with heavy-duty blowers capable of extracting from multiple sources or large enclosures. These models often serve laser cutting systems, large PCB assembly lines, or multiple soldering workstations simultaneously. Despite their size, they incorporate features like graphic LCD control panels, network/remote interface capability, and robust safety interlocks (door sensors, thermal protection, etc.). The 1500i/2000i “Plus” series units have unique capabilities – they offer very high airflow or pressure for industrial processes and may include features like dual-blower redundancy or special filtration media for niche applications. The 5000i “Enterprise” series is Purex’s largest standard extractor, often used as a centralized filtration system; it maximizes performance with multiple motors and can support long duct runs. All these systems are designed for 24/7 operation with minimal downtime, featuring sturdy steel enclosures and easy-access filter compartments.
• Maintenance & Service: High-capacity units use multi-stage filters (e.g. a large pleated prefilter, a HEPA, and a deep-bed carbon filter). Regular maintenance is crucial due to the volume of contaminants handled. Operators should monitor the display readings; the units will usually show filter remaining life or pressure readings. When a filter change is indicated (or on a schedule, e.g. quarterly for heavy use), follow the manual’s procedure to lift out and replace the heavy filter cartridges (note: larger filters can be ~20–30 kg each). It’s often advisable to have two people for safe filter replacement on the big units. Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves, mask) when handling used filters. Check and clean seal surfaces and the interior when changing filters; any dust bypass could reduce efficiency. The units have blower maintenance requirements as well – impellers should be inspected annually for dust accumulation, and motor brushes (if applicable) replaced at recommended intervals. For example, Purex recommends annual preventative maintenance checks on these larger systems, which can be done via a Jorlink service call or an in-house maintenance team. The 800i/1500i/2000i have filters with large surface area; using the Purex “Labyrinth” prefilters (where available) greatly extends main filter life. Keep a log of filter changes and hours of operation – some models might log hours on the display or even alert when a service interval is reached. Because these are critical systems, many customers keep spare filters on hand to avoid any downtime waiting for parts. Jorlink’s support can also advise on LEV testing (Local Exhaust Ventilation testing, as required by OSHA/European standards) – these should be tested annually to ensure they are effectively protecting operators.
• Compatible Accessories: Given their capacity, these systems often connect to fixed ductwork or multiple extraction arms. Purex offers pipework and manifold kits – for instance, the 800i can feed a multi-arm setup in a production line, so there are manifold options (like 8-port manifolds for soldering tip extraction). Spark arrestors or pre-filter chambers can be added inline when extracting from processes that emit large particles or hot embers (e.g. laser cutting of wood or metal). Software isn’t needed for operation, but some units support connectivity to building management systems or come with Purex’s optional monitoring software to log performance. Remote start/stop modules are available so that a laser machine can automatically turn the extractor on/off. Also, exhaust kits are offered if you want to vent the clean air outside (for additional safety or odor removal, a kit can duct the outlet of the Purex unit outdoors).
• Replacement Parts: The larger Purex models have their own filter cartridges (not interchangeable with the small FumeCube filters). Jorlink carries these, e.g. the 750/800 series pre-filter (labyrinth style, P/N 202274) and main HEPA/Gas filters for 800i, etc., which are listed in the Purex Main-Filters Store. Due to the weight, these are shipped freight. Other parts: blower motors (usually 3-phase or brushless motors) can be replaced; Jorlink can supply the correct motor or arrange repair. Control electronics (the digital control panel, sensor boards) are available – often these units have modular electronics that can be swapped out if there’s a fault. High-capacity units also have more complex cooling fans, relays, and wiring – all replaceable if needed. Typical consumables like fuse kits, hose adapters, and caster wheels for these floor-standing units are stocked. For instance, the 1500i/2000i use higher amperage fuses and heavy-duty power cords – Jorlink provides the correct replacements as per the manual. Because these units protect expensive equipment and operators, using genuine Purex filters and parts is recommended to maintain performance and safety.
