The vertical sliding sash made from toughened glass enhances operator protection while allowing clear observation.
Optimal Design for Laboratory NeedsFeaturing a heavy-duty epoxy-coated steel frame, chemical-resistant ceramic worktop, and polypropylene internal lining, the chamber ensures durability, chemical stability, and easy maintenance. Lockable castor wheels enable effortless relocation and secure placement within laboratory spaces.
Smart Controls and Efficient OperationDigital flow meters provide precise airflow monitoring (2% accuracy), with both manual and digital control options for tailored ventilation. The built-in LED lighting and emergency power-off switch enhance usability, safety, and functionality during critical laboratory operations.
FAQs of Fume Hood / Chamber:
Q: How does the fume hoods air filtration system work?
A: The exhaust system combines activated carbon and HEPA filters to remove airborne chemicals, vapors, and particulates generated during laboratory procedures. This dual-layer filtration ensures superior air purity and safety for laboratory personnel.
Q: What are the benefits of the vertical sliding sash mechanism?
A: The sash, constructed from transparent toughened glass, offers excellent chemical resistance and visibility. Its vertical sliding mechanism with a counterbalance enables smooth operation, allowing users to safely access and contain workspace fumes.
Q: When should the fume hood be used in laboratory settings?
A: Use this fume hood whenever working with volatile or hazardous chemicals to protect users from inhaling fumes, vapors, or particulates. It is especially recommended during processes like weighing, pouring, or mixing chemicals.
Q: Where can this bench top fume hood be installed?
A: This unit is floor-mounted and can be easily relocated thanks to its heavy-duty lockable castor wheels. It is suitable for chemical, research, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories requiring a flexible and robust workspace solution.
Q: What is the process for operating the airflow controls?
A: The fume hood offers variable airflow control via manual and digital interfaces. Users can adjust the airflow between 0.5 and 1.0 m/s, with the digital flow meter providing real-time feedback to ensure optimal performance and safety compliance.
Q: How does the chamber ensure chemical resistance and long-term durability?
A: The fume hood utilizes a ceramic worktop, epoxy-coated steel frame, and a polypropylene internal lining, all chosen for their superior resistance to chemicals and high temperatures (up to 200C), ensuring reliability in rigorous laboratory applications.
Q: What optional accessories are available for this fume hood?
A: Optional accessories include service spigots for gases, power sockets, and a UV lamp for additional decontamination, allowing customization to meet specific laboratory requirements.
