Soap suds filter

[GPM870]

Here is one tip I learned by accident ...by adding some laundry soap to the water table the plasma dust will sink rather quickly. The air from the torch normally caused some suds to form on the edges of the plate I was cutting. I didn't consider this a good or bad thing until one day I got carried away when I topped off the water and added too much soap. To my suprise it caused a lot of suds!! (3-4 inches tall) and sealed off the edges of the plate. The suds trapped the smoke and acted like a filter. The suds turned a dark brown so I know it was trapping some bad stuff On the next cut segment the small amount of sparks coming off the top of the plate will burst the extra foam and keep from getting too deep. It also makes the shop smell better

I will take a quick picture of it next time I cut.

I read this in the other post. I was wondering how to get the plasma dust to sink quicker.... Thanks for sharing with us!

Pictures show the dark brown "stuff" the suds catch. Not the perfect solution but anything that helps keep the air clean helps... and it's cheap!
