How to vent hot black oxide process?

Looking for ways to vent the hot process so it will be cost effective (not eating up blades on my vent fan constantly), any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Jeff.

If this is an industrial installation, you might consider a real industrial exhaust ventilation system, which will be made of PVC. But if it's a casual garage-based hobbyist installation, I think the trick is you need a steel blade on your fan rather than an aluminum blade. Good luck.
