Donaldson BOFA - Additive Manufacturing (AM) 400 Fume Extraction System (1U298060880676-2086)

Designed for Additive Manufacturing environments requiring inert atmosphere control

Overview

The Donaldson BOFA AM 400 is a premium filtration and atmosphere management system engineered for demanding additive manufacturing processes. Designed to operate within inert, closed-loop environments, the AM 400 delivers high-efficiency particulate filtration while maintaining controlled atmospheric conditions.

Its hermetically sealed construction prevents oxygen ingress while retaining inert gases, making it ideal for metal additive manufacturing processes where safety, consistency, and contamination control are critical.

Ideal Applications

• Metal Powder Bed Fusion

• Directed Energy Deposition

• Binder Jetting

• DMLS and SLM additive manufacturing processes

Key Benefits

• Hermetically sealed design minimizes inert gas leakage

• Closed-loop operation maintains optimal atmospheric conditions

• High-contrast display for clear system monitoring

• Removable, sealed filter housing for safer filter changes

• USB-enabled remote diagnostics for service and troubleshooting

• UKCA and CE compliant for industrial use

Advanced System Features

Intelligent Operating System (iQ)

• Provides real-time system performance data

• Monitors individual filter condition and system status

• Optimizes extraction efficiency while reducing operating costs

DeepPleat DUO Pre-Filter

• Large-capacity drop-out chamber acts as a pre-separator

• Captures larger particulates before reaching HEPA filtration

• Extends filter life and reduces maintenance frequency

HEPA Filtration (Optional)

• Removes 99.995% of particles down to 0.3 microns

• Includes secondary filtration layer for fine particulate capture

Reverse Flow Air Technology (RFA)

• Reduces airflow velocity inside the system

• Redirects particulates into the drop-out chamber

• Improves capture efficiency and extends filter service life

Automatic Flow Control (AFC)

• Allows airflow presetting for specific applications

• Maintains consistent extraction performance

• Protects HEPA filters and reduces system noise

System OK Signal

• Alerts for blocked filters, system faults, or nearing filter capacity

• Supports proactive maintenance scheduling

• Minimizes unplanned downtime
