Downdraft Tables & Workstations

Downdraft Tables & Workstations

Downdraft tables and workstations from Geneva Scientific by TBJ Inc. are engineered to capture airborne contaminants at the source by pulling air downward, away from the operator’s face and breathing zone, through the work surface and into a filtration or exhaust system.

This downward airflow design improves indoor air quality, enhances operator safety, and supports cleaner working environments across laboratory, industrial, and educational settings.

Source Capture Ventilation at the Work Surface

Unlike backdraft systems that draw air toward the rear plenum, downdraft workstations pull contaminated air vertically through perforated or grated work surfaces. This configuration effectively captures:

• Odors
• Vapors
• Aerosols
• Dust and fine particulates
• Light fumes

By directing airborne contaminants downward and away from the breathing zone, downdraft tables help reduce cross-contamination and minimize exposure for both operators and nearby personnel.

Healthier Workspaces, Greater Efficiency

Installing a downdraft workstation supports:

• Improved workplace air quality
• Reduced airborne particulate spread
• Cleaner surrounding environments
• Increased productivity through better working conditions
• Compliance support for EHS-focused facilities

Whether used for sanding, grinding, powder handling, specimen processing, or light chemical procedures, downdraft tables help maintain a safer and more controlled workspace.

Available Configurations

Geneva Scientific offers a wide range of downdraft table styles to meet diverse facility requirements, including:

• Mobile downdraft workstations
• Multi-user configurations
• Self-contained filtered units
• Wall-mounted systems
• Ducted exhaust designs
• Custom-built solutions

Each system can be configured with a variety of filtration options, blower capacities, work surface materials, and accessories to match your specific application.

For applications requiring rear airflow containment, explore our backdraft workstations. For semi-enclosed containment solutions, consider our semi-enclosed backdraft workstations.

Built by TBJ Inc. for Long-Term Performance

Manufactured by TBJ Inc., Geneva Scientific downdraft workstations are constructed with industrial-grade materials and precision airflow engineering. Stainless steel work surfaces, heavy-duty frames, and adaptable filtration systems ensure durability in demanding environments.

Improve Air Quality at the Source

If your application generates airborne particulates, vapors, or odors, a properly designed downdraft table can significantly improve operator protection and environmental control.
