Comprehensive Safety FeaturesThis fume cupboard boasts multiple safety enhancements including an air velocity monitor to ensure proper airflow, an optional alarm system, and toughened glass sash providing physical and chemical protection. The unit's corrosion-resistant structure and acid/alkali proof worktop offer reliable defense against harsh chemicals, ensuring a safe environment for laboratory personnel.
Ergonomic and Durable DesignEngineered with a light grey/blue combo, this fume cupboard is both aesthetically pleasing and highly durable. The 1.2 mm powder-coated steel body and 6 mm toughened glass sash provide robust construction, while the heavy-duty lockable castor wheels allow for effortless mobility within the lab. The ergonomic control panel allows for easy management of fan, lighting, and safety features.
Efficient Performance for LaboratoriesWith a powerful yet quiet centrifugal blower (noise level < 65 dB), airflow of 0.5-0.7 m/s, and a filtered air volume near 900 m3/h, this fume hood is built for efficient chemical ventilation. Removable HEPA or carbon filters simplify routine maintenance, and flush-mounted electrical outlets and reagent sink accessories improve workflow and convenience in demanding laboratory settings.
FAQ's of Fume cupboard:
Q: How does the manual counterbalanced sash improve safety and convenience in the fume cupboard?
A: The vertical sliding sash, made from 6 mm toughened glass, uses a manual counterbalanced system that allows smooth operation and precise positioning. This promotes user safety by minimizing exposure to hazardous vapors and enables flexible access to the work area.
Q: What type of filtration does this ducted fume cupboard provide, and how does it help?
A: The cupboard includes easily removable HEPA or carbon filters, which efficiently capture hazardous particulates and chemical fumes before they exit to the exhaust system. These filters help protect users and the environment, and their design allows for quick, straightforward maintenance.
Q: When should the air velocity monitor and optional alarm system be used?
A: The air velocity monitor continuously tracks airflow to ensure it stays within the recommended safety range (0.5-0.7 m/s). The optional alarm system should be engaged for immediate alert if the airflow drops below safe operating levels, providing an extra layer of safety during critical laboratory operations.
Q: Where can this fume cupboard be installed in a laboratory?
A: Thanks to its heavy-duty castor wheels with locking mechanisms, this fume cupboard can be positioned wherever effective ventilation is needed. Its robust construction and mobile design allow it to be easily relocated within your laboratory while maintaining stability and safety during operation.
Q: What benefits do the phenolic resin or stainless steel worktops provide for laboratory work?
A: Both phenolic resin and stainless steel worktops are highly resistant to chemicals, acids, and alkalis. This ensures a long-lasting, easy-to-clean surface that can withstand rigorous laboratory experiments, reducing contamination risks and facilitating maintenance.
Q: How is power supplied and managed for the exhaust fan and other features?
A: Power is supplied at 230 V with a total consumption of approximately 250 W. A dedicated control panel lets users operate the exhaust fan, fluorescent lamp, and safety systems efficiently. Two 5/15 A flush-mounted electrical outlets are integrated for additional equipment.
Q: What makes this fume cupboard suitable for Indian laboratory environments?
A: Manufactured and supplied in India, the fume cupboard meets local laboratory standards. It combines durable materials, robust corrosion resistance, efficient ventilation, and local technical support, making it ideal for handling chemicals in Indian laboratory applications.
