These units feature variable airflow control (0.3–0.8 m/s) and integrated exhaust systems with capacities ranging from 560 to 1130 m³/h across the model range. The polypropylene construction (8 mm thick, acid/alkali resistant) offers robust chemical resistance while maintaining structural integrity under continuous operation.
Each unit incorporates a 740 mm maximum sash opening with 820 mm work surface height, providing ergonomic access to the work zone. The internal chambers accommodate various laboratory equipment configurations with two waterproof electrical outlets rated for ≤500 W total load. Sound attenuation design maintains operation at ≤68 dB(A) to support extended use in research environments. Available in four width configurations (1047 mm, 1247 mm, 1547 mm, 1847 mm external dimensions) to accommodate different laboratory layouts and throughput requirements.
Recommended for use with highly concentrated acids due to the internal spray system that neutralizes acid gases before discharge, along with an acid-resistant pump, water tank, and sink.

How It Works
The fume hood operates on the principle of directional airflow to capture and remove hazardous vapors at their source. Ambient laboratory air enters through the front sash opening and flows across the work surface at controlled velocities between 0.3-0.8 m/s. This airflow pattern creates a containment zone that prevents vapor escape while maintaining sufficient velocity to capture chemical emissions.
The integrated exhaust system draws contaminated air through internal ductwork at volumetric flow rates of 560-920 m³/h depending on model configuration. Variable airflow control allows optimization of capture velocity based on the volatility and toxicity of materials being handled. The exhaust stream requires connection to building ventilation systems or external blowers for proper disposal of captured contaminants.
Polypropylene construction provides chemical resistance against acids, bases, and organic solvents commonly encountered in laboratory applications. The material maintains structural stability under continuous airflow while resisting degradation from chemical exposure. Internal surfaces facilitate decontamination procedures between different chemical operations.

Practical Tips
Verify airflow velocity monthly using a calibrated anemometer at 6-9 measurement points across the sash opening.
Why: Airflow variations can develop over time due to filter loading or ductwork changes, compromising containment effectiveness.
Clean internal surfaces weekly with appropriate solvents to prevent chemical buildup and cross-contamination between procedures.
Why: Accumulated residues can affect airflow patterns and create secondary exposure hazards during subsequent operations.
Keep materials and equipment at least 6 inches back from the sash opening to maintain proper airflow patterns.
Why: Items placed too close to the opening can disrupt capture velocity and allow vapor escape into the laboratory.
Perform smoke visualization tests monthly to verify containment effectiveness and identify airflow disruptions.
Why: Visual confirmation of airflow patterns detects problems not apparent from velocity measurements alone.
If airflow seems inadequate, check for obstructions in ductwork and verify exhaust system capacity matches hood requirements.
Why: Inadequate airflow is often caused by external factors rather than hood malfunction, requiring systematic diagnosis.
Document airflow measurements and maintenance activities to establish performance trends and predict service needs.
Why: Historical data enables proactive maintenance and demonstrates due diligence for regulatory compliance documentation.
Allow hood to operate for 5-10 minutes before and after chemical procedures to ensure complete vapor removal.
Why: Purge times ensure all contaminated air is removed from the work zone before personnel access or equipment shutdown.

Background reading relevant to this product:
What exhaust system requirements are needed for proper operation?
Each model requires external exhaust capacity matching the specified volume (560-920 m³/h) with adequate static pressure to overcome ductwork resistance. Building ventilation systems or dedicated blowers must maintain consistent airflow regardless of atmospheric conditions.
How do I verify containment performance after installation?
Use calibrated anemometer to measure face velocity at multiple points across the sash opening, ensuring readings fall within 0.3-0.8 m/s range. Follow with smoke visualization testing to confirm proper airflow patterns and absence of reverse flow or turbulence.
What chemical compatibility limitations should be considered?
Polypropylene construction resists most acids, bases, and organic solvents but may be affected by strong oxidizing agents or aromatic hydrocarbons at elevated temperatures. Consult chemical compatibility charts for specific reagents and exposure conditions.
Can the airflow be adjusted during operation?
Yes, airflow velocity can be adjusted within the 0.3-0.8 m/s range using integrated controls. Adjustments should be made gradually and verified with instrumentation to ensure containment effectiveness is maintained throughout the operating range.
What maintenance procedures are required?
Regular cleaning of internal surfaces with appropriate solvents, periodic airflow verification, and inspection of sash operation and seals. Filter replacement schedules depend on usage and types of chemicals handled.
How much laboratory space is required for installation?
Allow minimum 30cm clearance on each side for service access, plus adequate rear clearance for exhaust connections. Ceiling height must accommodate 2450mm overall height plus ductwork connections.
What electrical requirements are needed?
Primary power for the hood system plus 500W capacity for internal outlets. Power consumption ranges from 770W to 1070W total depending on model configuration. Electrical installation must include appropriate circuit protection.
