Esco Ascent Max 5ft Ductless Fume Hood E Series Model ADC-5E2
High-Performance, Energy-Efficient Ductless Fume Hood with Backup HEPA Filter for Safe Laboratory Use
The Esco Ascent Max Ductless Fume Hood E Series (ADC-5E2) combines safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in a compact, mobile design. Engineered for chemical fume filtration and cleanroom applications, this ductless fume hood protects operators and the environment while eliminating the need for complex ductwork.
Ideal for laboratories handling volatile chemicals, powders, and solids, the ADC-5E2 ensures maximum containment with minimal noise and energy consumption. Its dual-filter system, featuring a main carbon filter and backup HEPA filter, provides an extra layer of protection for high-sensitivity applications.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Safety & Containment: Certified to prevent chemical vapors from escaping the work zone, with auto-purge slots to reduce fume accumulation.
- Energy Efficiency & Low Noise: Permanently lubricated centrifugal fans and external rotor design minimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs.
- Advanced Airflow Monitoring: Sentinel Silver microprocessor control continuously monitors airflow, displays readings on a bright LCD panel, and provides audible/visual alarms for unsafe conditions.
- Easy Maintenance: Critical components like fluorescent lamps, motor capacitor, and electronic ballast are mounted outside the airstream for convenient servicing.
- Durable Construction: Industrial-grade electro-galvanized steel body and ISOCIDE antimicrobial coating resist contamination and wear.
- Filter Longevity: Nanocarb filters with dual diffuser design maximize filter life; secondary backup HEPA or carbon filter ensures uninterrupted operation.
