Fume Hoods – Laboratory Air Protection & Purification

Fume hoods are the primary engineering control devices used in laboratories to protect personnel from hazardous chemical vapors, aerosols, and particulates. By enclosing work processes and exhausting contaminated air away from the breathing zone, they create a safer environment for handling volatile solvents, acids, and toxic compounds.

In both research and quality control laboratories, fume hoods are essential for tasks such as chemical synthesis, sample preparation, solvent evaporation, and handling of corrosive substances. Modern fume hoods integrate advanced airflow monitoring, filtration technologies (activated carbon, HEPA), and energy-efficient designs to balance safety with operational cost.

Selecting the right fume hood requires evaluation of exhaust type (ducted vs. ductless), face velocity, filter capacity, chemical resistance of work surface materials, and compliance with international standards such as EN 14175 or ASHRAE 110. Ductless fume hoods with carbon filters offer flexibility for facilities without ducting infrastructure, while ducted systems provide maximum containment for high‑toxicity applications.

FUME HOOD INSTRUMENT GROUPS

  • Ducted Fume Hoods – connected to building exhaust systems, providing maximum containment for high‑risk chemicals. Typically compliant with EN 14175 or ASHRAE 110 performance tests. Ideal for laboratories handling large volumes of volatile solvents or toxic gases.
  • Ductless / Filtered Fume Hoods – equipped with activated carbon or HEPA filters that capture contaminants and recirculate clean air back into the room. Suitable for facilities without ductwork or where energy savings are prioritized. Filter selection depends on chemical classes (organic, acid, formaldehyde).
  • Specialty Enclosures – including PCR workstations with UV decontamination, powder weighing cabinets with HEPA filtration, and walk‑in fume hoods for large apparatus.

FEATURED: DUCTED FUME HOODS

Our range of ducted fume hoods combines robust construction (epoxy‑coated steel, chemical‑resistant phenolic resin work surfaces) with precision airflow control. Models like the FUMECAB series offer internal dimensions from 640 to 1200 mm, 6‑speed fans, LED displays, and optional UV lamps. All units are tested for face velocity uniformity and containment according to international standards, ensuring reliable operator protection.
