The Quatro SPB-560-1T-K SolderPure Combo Fume Extractor captures solder smoke, waxing odors, and rhodium/plating fumes at the source—before they spread through your workspace. This combination model includes filtration media for both solder/waxing smoke and rhodium/plating fumes in a single compact, mobile cabinet. A three-stage filtration system—dust pre-filter, HEPA, and a final 2" charcoal stage—delivers high-efficiency fume and odor removal rated at 99.9%, with no outside venting required. Dual top inlet ports allow the unit to service two workstations simultaneously.

What our Experts Think
- Dedicated rhodium/plating protection system: The SPB-560-1R-K SolderPure is widely regarded as a specialized fume extractor built specifically for rhodium, electroplating, and chemical vapor control at jewelry benches.
- High-efficiency 3-stage filtration: Experts highlight its pre-filter + HEPA + activated carbon (99.9% efficiency) system as highly effective at capturing corrosive plating fumes and ultra-fine airborne particles before they spread into the workspace.
- Optimized for chemical vapor control: Unlike solder-focused units, this model uses a rhodium-calibrated charcoal stage, designed to neutralize strong odors and potentially harmful plating gases more effectively.
- Strong, stable airflow performance: Rated around 170 CFM, it delivers consistent source-capture suction, even when used with dual bench inlets for plating and rinse/solution stations.
- Quiet professional operation: Running at approximately 52 dBA, it is frequently praised for maintaining a low-noise environment suitable for precision jewelry studios and shared workspaces.
- Dual-station flexibility: Two inlet ports allow simultaneous connection of multiple plating or bench setups, improving workflow efficiency in small production environments.
- Mobile, compact studio design: Built on casters with a small footprint, it integrates easily into tight bench layouts without requiring external ducting or permanent installation.
- Best suited for plating specialists: Recommended for jewelers and technicians working heavily with rhodium, electroplating, or chemical finishing processes where odor and vapor control is critical for safety and comfort.
Q&A
Q: What is the Quatro SPB-560-1R-K SolderPure Rhodium/Plating Fume Extractor used for?
A: It is a professional fume extraction system designed specifically to capture rhodium plating and electroplating fumes at the source, preventing harmful vapors and odors from spreading in the workspace.
Q: What makes the 1R-K model different from other SolderPure units?
A: This model is dedicated to rhodium/plating applications only, using a specialized filtration setup optimized for plating chemicals rather than soldering or wax fumes.
Q: Does it require external venting?
A: No, it is a fully ductless system that uses multi-stage filtration (dust pre-filter, HEPA, and activated carbon) to clean and recirculate air safely indoors.
Q: How effective is the filtration system?
A: It is designed for high-efficiency source capture with up to 99.9% removal of fumes and odors when filters are properly maintained.
Q: What voltage does it use?
A: It operates on standard 110V / 60Hz power, making it suitable for most jewelry and lab workshop setups.
Q: What type of work environments is it best for?
A: It is ideal for jewelry studios, plating stations, and repair benches where rhodium or electroplating processes are performed regularly.
Q: Is it suitable for soldering or waxing fumes?
A: No, this model is purpose-built for rhodium/plating fumes. For soldering or waxing, a different SolderPure model is recommended.
Q: What maintenance does it require?
A: Routine replacement of HEPA and carbon filters is required to maintain suction performance and odor control efficiency.
Maintenance Tips
- Replace filters on schedule: Regularly change pre-filter, HEPA, and activated carbon filters to maintain safe fume capture.
- Monitor suction performance: Any drop in airflow usually indicates clogged or saturated filters.
- Check chemical fume capture: Ensure rhodium/plating fumes are fully contained with no odor leakage.
- Keep intake path clear: Avoid obstruction at the extraction inlet during plating operations.
- Inspect hoses/arms: Ensure secure fittings and no cracks or air leaks affecting performance.
- Clean exterior safely: Wipe with a dry cloth; avoid moisture or solvents near electrical parts.
- Prevent residue buildup: Do not allow chemical dust or vapor residue to accumulate inside filters or vents.
- Avoid overload operation: Continuous high-intensity use beyond capacity can reduce motor life.
- Routine inspection: Check fan system and internal airflow channels for dust or chemical buildup.
