The AER Control Systems Twin Draft Product was developed from a request for a new local technical trade school looking for welding benches.  In order to keep the costs down these benches would use filters that are thrown away rather than cleaned.  Three different sizes were developed, a 3, 4, and 6 foot wide table…

A few years ago AER Control Systems developed a high end mist and smoke collector designed for customers looking for longer filter life and less maintenance.  The AER Fine Fiber and MOD Fiber Mist and Smoke Collectors were created to meet this need.  The AER Fine Fiber is a low airflow unit and the MOD…
