Our portable and powerful, high-end Extractor Fan/Unit for fume and dust extraction is for, beauty salons or home room usage and built by an award winning manufacturer in the UK for; nail treatments and on offer at £200.00 including delivery and vat! Appeared in the "Scratch Magazine" February 2012- see Gallery.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines require a downdraft of around 1 metre per second or an air inlet speed of 0.5 metres per second... this Portable Nail Extractor unit for dust and fumes, sits on your nail station and has an air inlet speed of 1.98 meters per second- so over 3 times the required amount!

If you are in the beauty industry and produce dust and fumes performing nail treatments you WILL want an Extractor unit that’s powerful, to minimize the harmful dust that we can not see and the fumes we inhale each minute- of each day.

Our Most Powerful, Portable Manicure Nail Dust and Fume Filter/ Extractor Unit Fan that's almost silent for use on your tabletop workstation.

A much-anticipated portable Nail extraction fan/ unit that actually filters the clouds of dangerous nail dust and absorbs the fumes from our products we use, has finally been created for the nail technicians. A wealth of products we use in Beauty Salons and on the go- to date contain a variety of chemicals that may be potentially harmful to the health of Therapists and clients alike and these chemicals are also damaging to the environment.

Extraction is of uttermost importance if you are using, or are in contact with any of the hazardous substances:

Curing Agents, Drying Agents, Hardeners, MMA (Methyl Methacrylate), Nail Dust, Solvent Based Products. Chemicals from all these sources can be particularly hazardous, as they become airborne quickly and so are more easily inhaled by Therapists and clients.

The acrylics (in particular Methyl Methacrylate: or MMA) used to create nail extensions are considered to be particularly hazardous.

Long-term exposure to MMA can cause damage to the respiratory system and the liver.

Dust created by filing and shaping nails can contain an array of different bacteria’s, including benzoyl peroxide, silica and methecrylate polymers.

Quick-drying nail sprays, nail varnishes and removers can all contain toxic fumes.

This is why it is essential to use some sort of extraction system to remove the chemicals and dust from the air we breath.

The beauty of producing fantastic nails is very popular, but along with this mastered technique comes the prolonged breathing of dangerous dust and fumes that makes the application very uncomfortable for both client and Technician.

Feeling nausea, eyes stinging, headaches, dizziness, sneezing and throats burning are just a few common symptoms we suffer in our normal day to day working environment... this is very unhealthy for an enjoyable, growing industry, causing long term medical conditions and this needs to change!

Thankfully, a compact powerful nail extractor fan/ unit has been designed so the atmosphere is a more comfortable place to work and being portable is suited for both- salon & mobile Technician users. Sitting on your work station/ table or desk, at the side- in between client and technicians working area- makes this extractor unit perfect for all. You can take this anywhere to maintain indoor air quality/ ventilation.

Undergone huge tests to meet the needs of today’s application of nail enhancements and looking after nails in general, this extraction unit has been designed and tested to very high standards, and built with the Specifications that no other compact "portable nail dust & fume filtration unit", can compete against.

If you are investing in a portable nail extractor, including the nail stations built in version- then find out the Spec and compare with this model before you purchase, you will be extremely surprised at the difference of filtration, I can't state the importance of this enough. You need to protect your health!

Many so called nail extractors do not even state the spec on their write up's as the power is very poor and misleading- most are just fans that blow the dust around in your working atmosphere… this causes the client and Technician to inhale more harmful nail-dust and fumes!

Trouble to ask the supplier for the information you deserve to know- Extraction is very important! Also find out if you need to get your "manicure work station- nail extractor" serviced annually... as a naive college Tutor was telling me of the poor extraction rate on her nail station extractor (built in desk version) and not only was the table a small fortune to buy in the first place and not extracting, but the college also has to pay over £150 annually, per table to get it serviced!

You would benefit looking into what you are buying:

m3 is the amount of area it will clear per hour... m3= cubic meters (Room space).

Our compact nail dust and fume extractor clears: 120 m3 per hour- equivalent of a 12 foot x 10 foot room, 6 times over an hour with the filter fitted... the most powerful manicure nail extractor, that is almost silent.

Our Extractors do not need any pipe work/ ducting to an outside air source which is lucky... any piping or ducting used on an extractor- would cause a huge loss in the clearance quoted- per hour (m3). Always take the time to find out what the clearance (m3) is, for the room its to filter/ extract- with the filter fitted, as this (m3) clearance can drop a considerable amount with the filter fitted and pipe work added! We will not mis-lead you... our (m3) clearance IS the actual clearance per hour- with filter fitted!
