A High-Performance Laser Fume Extractor AD 1500 iQ
The Donaldson BOFA AD 1500 iQ is a heavy-duty fume extractor for laser processes that produce large amounts of particulate. It moves 1,250 m³/h of air at 100 mbar, more than the AD 1000 iQ, and has a large filter capacity. The iQ system shows live airflow, monitors each filter separately and offers USB diagnostics. Filtration is a DeepPleat DUO pre-filter (F8) followed by a combined HEPA (99.995% at 0.3 microns) and 53.7-litre activated carbon filter. It runs on 230 V single phase or 415 V three phase and carries UKCA, CE, cUL and UL approval.
United Spectrum Instruments is the official BOFA distributor in India. We supply, install and service the AD 1500 iQ across the country.
Understanding AD 1500 iQ
The AD 1500 iQ gives strong, steady extraction for heavy-duty industrial work. The iQ platform shows live diagnostics and filter data, so you can plan maintenance and avoid downtime. Multi-stage filtration keeps the air clean and keeps running costs low. It is a trusted choice where safety, efficiency and reliability matter.

Key Features and Advantages
iQ Operating Platform
It gives live feedback, system monitoring and predictive maintenance. Operators can track airflow, filter condition and performance as it happens. This keeps uptime high.
High-Airflow, Heavy-Duty Design
It delivers 1,250 m³/h of airflow at 100 mbar. This keeps extraction stable in heavy-duty laser work where fumes are produced continuously.
Multi-Stage HEPA and Carbon Filtration
It captures hazardous particles, ultrafine dust and harmful gases efficiently. It carries UKCA, CE, cUL and UL approval.
Large Filter Capacity
A large filter capacity means fewer filter changes on high-output lines. It is a strong fit for busy industrial sites.
Energy-Efficient Performance
Long-life, low-cost filters keep running costs down while performance stays high.
Durable and Reliable Construction
It is built for continuous use and copes with tough industrial conditions.
Advantages:
Provides 1,250 m³/h of airflow for heavy-duty laser and industrial fume extraction.
Ensures compliance with occupational safety and environmental regulations.
Large filter capacity means fewer filter changes on busy lines.
