Revco Products Inc., a full electronic manufacturing service (EMS) company based in Southern California, frequently serves as a field test site for METCAL™ products. Recently, Revco meticulously evaluated Metcal’s new BVX-250 Fume Extraction System  on their PCBA hand-soldering benches. Carlos Salinas, Manufacturing Engineer at Revco, expressed his satisfaction with the BVX-250’s system performance, saying “Throughout our three-month evaluation, we observed numerous performance advantages, from its compact design and quiet operation to its robust suction power and exceptional efficiency.”

Carlos emphasized the user-friendly design of the BVX-250, praising its LED Status Ring feature. He noted, “The LED Status Ring provides clear visual indicators that let operators know the state of the system at a glance. With green indicating active extraction, blue for idle mode, and amber or red signaling the need for a filter change, these visual cues enhance operator safety and comfort at the soldering bench.”

Furthermore, Carlos highlighted the BVX-250’s impressive airflow, which efficiently removes solder fumes and smoke, surpassing the suction power of their currently owned competitor fume extractor. He added, “We tested the BVX-250 with multiple users and confirmed that it can effectively provide air filtration for two adjacent soldering benches without compromising safety or performance.”

Josh Edberg, Metcal Vice President Sales and Marketing, explained, “The BVX-250 was designed to be user-friendly with simplified filter changes and improved filter notification, all while keeping operators healthy with a 99.97% efficiency HEPA 13 filter and adjustable power levels to regulate airflow.”

In summary, Carlos endorsed the Metcal BVX-250 fume extraction system. stating, “I highly recommend the BVX-250 system to anyone seeking a reliable fume extraction solution for a cleaner and safer workspace.”
