Year-End Maintenance for Your Fumex Air Filtration System
Keep Your Fumex System Performing at its Best!
As the year comes to a close, it's time to think about more than just budgets and plans for the year ahead—it's also the perfect time to make sure your Fumex Air Filtration System is in top shape. Proper maintenance helps extend the life of your system, ensures the air quality remains high, and keeps operational costs low. Here’s why year-end maintenance is essential for keeping your Fumex system performing at its best and how to get started.
Why Year-End Maintenance Matters
1) Optimized Performance for a Healthier Workplace
Your Fumex system works hard to capture hazardous fumes and particles at the source, keeping your workspace safe and clean. However, over time, filters and components can accumulate dust and contaminants that reduce efficiency. Routine maintenance helps your system perform optimally, protecting your team from exposure to harmful particulates and gases.
2) Prevent Costly Breakdowns and Downtime
When systems are neglected, they can run into unexpected issues, leading to costly repairs and unplanned downtime. A proactive approach to maintenance prevents these disruptions. By addressing minor issues before they escalate, you can avoid costly replacements and repairs, ensuring your system is always ready for the demands of your operations.
3) Extend the Lifespan of Your Equipment
Fumex systems are built for durability, but like any high-performing equipment, they benefit from regular care. Proper maintenance reduces wear and tear on internal components, allowing your system to run smoothly for years to come. Year-end servicing can be a great way to ensure everything is in peak condition, maximizing the value of your investment.
Key Year-End Maintenance Steps for Fumex Systems
1) Inspect and Replace Filters as Needed
Filters are the heart of your Fumex system. As they trap particles and gases, they eventually need replacing to maintain effective airflow and filtration. The end of the year is an ideal time to inspect all filters and replace them if they show signs of wear or saturation. Remember, changing filters on time not only improves air quality but also prevents the motor from overworking, which can save energy and reduce costs.

2) Check Digital Controls and Sensor Functionality
Many Fumex models come with digital controls and integrated gas sensors. It’s important to check that these controls are functioning correctly to ensure accurate readings and efficient system operation. Calibrating your sensors and testing controls annually can keep your system aligned with the evolving needs of your facility.
3) Clean System Components and Inspect for Damage
Dust and residue can accumulate on various parts of your system, impacting performance. Clean any accessible parts of the unit, particularly areas around the fan and motor. Check for any visible signs of wear or damage, and address them promptly to avoid larger issues down the line.
4) Review System Settings and Optimize for Next Year
Consider your upcoming production needs and whether your system’s settings are optimized accordingly. If you anticipate increased production, you may need to adjust airflow or upgrade filters. Consulting with Fumex’s technical support team is always a good idea if you need assistance with adjustments or upgrades.
