Product Highlights
- Nanocarb Filters ensure maximum filter efficiency as well as maximum filter capacity and therefore filter life. Simple hinged head unit allows for convenient on-site filter change
- The spill-retaining work top design with recessed central area contains accidental liquid spills
- Comfortable 13° sloped front allows easy access to work zone – enhancing ergonomics, eliminated operator fatigue and increasing productivity
- Designed with a unique baffle for these hoods to improve containment and ensure the efficient removal of chemical fumes from the work zone
- Sentinel Silver Microprocessor Control, Alarm System is an advanced microprocessor control that supervises operation of all hood functions. Temperature-compensated air velocity sensor monitors airflow. 24-hour clock and blower run hour meter are standard
- The inflow flushes the entire work zone of the hood; within the main chamber of the hood, negative pressure (relative to the ambient environment) is maintained so that no chemical fumes or vapors escape the work zone
- Better airflow uniformity and distribution within the hood for better operator protection
- Certified containment-chemical vapors are contained within the enclosure and will not leak through the front opening
- Permanently lubricated direct drive centrifugal fan(s); energy efficient external rotor motor type design reduces operating costs; extremely low noise and vibration levels due to proprietary construction and mounting technology
- Built-in solid state variable speed controller(s) with built-in RFI and noise filters is superior to conventional “step” controllers
- Industrial-grade main body constructed of electro-galvanized steel: with an abrasion-resistant white oven-baked powder-coated finish
- ISOCIDE antimicrobial surface on all painted surfaces minimizes surface contamination
- Transparent frameless acrylic front window and sides provide a high degree of visibility and operator comfort; front window is mounted on self-supporting pre-tensioned hinges, allowing for easy access during hood loading and start-up
- Ergonomic oval-shaped apertures for hands in the front window allows for maximum reach within the work zone while providing the operator with extra protection from any possible chemical spillage
- Removable stainless steel work surface
