About FUME HOOD
FUME HOOD
We are the prominent Fume Hood manufacturer. Our chemical fume hoods are fabricated out of thick wooden board these are designed so as to throw-out all toxic / harmful / vapors, thus protecting costly instruments and the person working in the lab. Outer is finished with sun mica and inner epoxy painted. Working tabletop is fitted with acid / alkali resistant tiles and a small washbasin with connections provide for inlet and outlet of water. The front door moves vertically up and down with concealed counter balanced weight. The unit if fitted with florescent light and a gas cock for gas / air supply. The space under the work station can be provided with storage compartments for storage purpose. The front facing panel is fitted with 15/5 Amp socket with switches for exhaust system and fluorescent light.
Standard sizes : 4'/5'/6'/7/8' x 3' x 3'

FAQs of FUME HOOD:
Q: How does the fume hood enhance laboratory safety during chemical handling?
A: The fume hood is equipped with air flow alarms and an emergency switch, ensuring immediate alerts and action during potential hazards. Its chemical resistant epoxy resin surface and toughened glass sash provide reliable containment, while robust construction materials guarantee longevity and protection against spills.
Q: What is the recommended process for using the fume hood in daily laboratory operations?
A: To use the fume hood, slide open the toughened glass sash door, place your chemicals or apparatus inside, and ensure the exhaust system is operating, indicated by proper air velocity readings on the control panel. Maintain the sash position to maximize containment, and always monitor safety features such as the air flow alarm and emergency switch.
Q: When should the air flow alarm and emergency switch be activated?
A: The air flow alarm will automatically activate if the airflow drops below the safe operating threshold during use. The emergency switch should be manually triggered in the event of a chemical spill, fire, or other immediate laboratory hazard to shut down all electrical components and exhaust systems quickly.
Q: Where should this fume hood be installed for optimal performance?
A: For best results, install the fume hood in a well-ventilated laboratory away from high-traffic areas. Its adaptable design allows for both bench top and floor mounting, making it suitable for a variety of laboratory layouts and safety requirements.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing digital over manual control panels for the fume hood?
A: Digital control panels offer enhanced accuracy in monitoring parameters like airflow and temperature, whereas manual panels provide straightforward operation. Both ensure reliable performance, but digital options may be preferred in laboratories demanding precise adjustments and data logging.
Q: How is the exhaust capacity managed according to laboratory demands?
A: The exhaust capacity, ranging from 500 to 1000 m/hr, can be adjusted to match the laboratorys chemical work and volume, ensuring optimal ventilation and containment. Proper settings are easily controlled from the integrated panel to maintain safe and efficient operation.
Q: What maintenance is necessary for the fume hoods core components, such as the blower and duct?
A: Regular inspection and cleaning of the blower and duct are recommended to maintain airflow efficiency and prevent build-up of hazardous residues. Periodic servicing also extends the equipments operational lifespan and preserves its safety features.
