Chemical Fume Hood

KEY FEATURES

Construction

• Chemical-resistant interior lining (Mild Steel stainless steel, or Polyproplene.
• Durable, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion.
• Internal Lining of Fire Retardant Material (FRP / PRL).

 

Work Area

• Spacious, flat surface for experiments having Skirting Granite on base 19mm
• SS Sink and taps are provided for washing and discards
• Baffle Arrangement for ensuring effective capture of vapours, even heavy gases (low level) or light gases (upper level)

 

Adjustable Sash Window

• Vertical or horizontal sliding glass sash for user protection and access
• Acts as a protective barrier between the user and chemical
• Protects the user from harmful chemical fumes, vapours, and gases

 

Airflow System

• Constant airflow (typically 80–120 feet per minute).
• Pulls air from the lab into the hood and exhausts it outside.

 

Lighting

• Bright fluorescent/LED lighting isolated from airflow for safety
• Glare-free and shadow-free illumination.

 

Motor Type Used in Chemical Fume Hoods

• Centrifugal Blower Motor with Direct Drive
• 0.5 HP – 2 HP (depending on hood size & airflow requirements)
• 220V single-phase or 415V three-phase (Indian standard)
• 1400–2800 RPM
• Non-sparking, corrosion-resistant PP Blower

 

Safety Features

• Airflow monitors & alarms for low airflow
• Sash height markers for safe working levels

 

Utility Ports

• Gas, water, vacuum, and electrical outlets is built in.

 

Storage Cupboard

• For lab consumables and non-hazardous materials.
• Lockable hinged or sliding doors.
• Vents connected to exhaust system.
• Non-metallic hinges and fittings to resist corrosion.
