The Ventilation & Extraction System

The Ventilation & Extraction System is the engineered airflow network that removes dust, fumes and airborne particulates generated throughout surfboard manufacturing. It maintains clean working conditions in critical areas such as shaping, sanding, CNC machining and glassing workflows, protecting both workers and materials.

Its behaviour as a system depends on airflow pressure, filter quality and extractor placement relative to foam dust output and resin vapour production. Proper ventilation also stabilises temperature and humidity levels that influence epoxy curing behaviour and prevent contamination during finishing stages.

The Ventilation & Extraction System ensures a predictable working environment, reducing defects and supporting clean transitions between shaping, laminating and final surface refinement.

The Ventilation & Extraction System traits

  • Dust and fume extraction for safe working conditions
  • Humidity and temperature stabilisation
  • Contamination control during finishing and coating
  • Factory-wide airflow integration between production bays

Shapers and technicians rely on the ventilation system to maintain surface integrity, curing stability and consistent manufacturing quality across every stage of production.
