‘WE CARE ABOUT YOUR AIR’
At VODEX, we provide a range of self-contained and flexible jewellery fume extraction systems. Our extraction solutions are designed to ensure that fumes and dust from the jewellery-making processes you undertake every day do not expose you to risks and damage your health.
Jewellery manufacturing involves using a wide range of hazardous processes. This is especially important with the handmade jewellery manufacturing process due to the proximity to harmful substances.
