Ducted Fume Hood

A ducted fume hood is a ventilated enclosure designed to remove hazardous fumes, vapors, gases, or particulate matter from the laboratory environment. These fumes are drawn into the hood and vented outside the building through a duct system. The ducted fume hood provides an effective way to protect laboratory personnel from chemical exposure by directing contaminants away from the workspace and into a filtration or exhaust system.
How It Works
  • Airflow
    The fume hood pulls air from the laboratory into the enclosure using a fan or blower. This air is drawn through the face of the hood and into the ductwork.
  • Exhaust
    The contaminated air is then carried via the duct system to the exterior of the building, where it is safely released into the atmosphere.
  • Air Supply
    To maintain a balanced airflow, clean air is drawn from the room to replace the air being exhausted, ensuring the lab maintains a constant, healthy pressure.
  • High Efficiency
    Ideal for handling large volumes of hazardous fumes or gases. The system ensures that dangerous substances are safely vented out of the building.
  • Suitable for Toxic Chemicals
    Ducted fume hoods are ideal for environments where toxic, corrosive, or highly volatile chemicals are being used.
  • Flexibility in Application
    Ducted fume hoods are available in various sizes and configurations, allowing for customization to meet specific laboratory needs.
  • Reliable Safety
    They provide reliable protection for laboratory personnel as the hazardous chemicals are effectively removed from the lab environment.

Ductless Fume Hood

A ductless fume hood (also known as a recirculating fume hood) is a type of ventilated enclosure that cleans the air inside the hood and recirculates it back into the laboratory. Instead of exhausting contaminated air outside, a ductless fume hood uses advanced filtration systems (typically carbon or HEPA filters) to remove hazardous contaminants from the air before recirculating it.
How It Works
  • Airflow
    Air from the laboratory is drawn into the hood and through a filtration system.
  • Filtration
    The air passes through specialized filters that capture hazardous substances such as toxic gases, particulates, and vapors.
  • Recirculation
    After being filtered, the clean air is recirculated back into the laboratory, ensuring the environment remains safe.
  • Cost-Effective
    Ductless hoods do not require the installation of ductwork or exhaust systems, making them cheaper and easier to install.
  • Energy Efficient
    Since they do not require exhausting air outside, ductless fume hoods save energy by reducing the load on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
  • Mobility
    Ductless hoods are portable, meaning they can be moved to different locations within the laboratory, offering greater flexibility in layout.
  • Space-Saving
    Without the need for ducts, the laboratory space can be used more efficiently.
  • Limited Application
    Ductless hoods are best suited for low-risk applications. They may not be effective for highly toxic or volatile chemicals, as their filtration systems are limited in terms of the range of contaminants they can handle.
  • Filter Replacement
    The filters need to be regularly replaced to ensure the fume hood continues to operate effectively. Over time, this can add to maintenance costs.
  • Limited Exhaust Capacity
    Ductless hoods are not suitable for environments where large volumes of harmful fumes or gases are produced, as they only filter and recirculate the air, rather than venting it outside.

Offerings

We offer both ducted and ductless fume hoods have their specific advantages depending on the laboratory’s needs.

If you’re dealing with highly toxic, volatile, or large quantities of chemicals, a ducted fume hood is typically the safer and more efficient choice.

On the other hand, if you need a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for handling less hazardous substances, a ductless fume hood can be an excellent alternative.

Flammable and Corrosive Chemical Storage Cabinets

Our Flammable and Corrosive Chemical Storage Cabinets are designed to meet the highest safety standards while ensuring the secure containment and storage of hazardous chemicals. These cabinets are ideal for both industrial and laboratory environments, providing effective solutions for storing flammable, combustible, and corrosive substances.

Key Features

Industrial-Grade Construction
Built with 18-gauge electro-galvanized steel, our cabinets are engineered for strength and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
The cabinets are coated with epoxy powder, which not only provides a sleek finish but also ensures superior resistance to chemical damage, corrosion, and wear from the demanding conditions of industrial and laboratory environments.
Designed with a 1.5” airspace between the layers of steel, our cabinets provide enhanced thermal insulation and structural strength, offering an added layer of protection in case of fire or chemical leaks.
The cabinets feature a 2” welded sill, which ensures that any chemical spills are contained within the cabinet, preventing contamination and minimizing the risk of exposure to hazardous substances.
Equipped with two ventilation ports, our cabinets ensure safe airflow and the prevention of flammable vapor accumulation. These ports are protected by flash arrestors, which stop any flame from traveling into the cabinet, enhancing safety when working with volatile chemicals.
The cabinet doors are secured with a three-point latching mechanism, which provides a tight, secure seal to prevent spills, fumes, and vapors from escaping, ensuring the safe storage of dangerous materials.
Our cabinets feature prominent, easy-to-read warning labels, making it clear at a glance that the contents are hazardous. These labels adhere to safety standards, ensuring proper identification and caution at all times.
The cabinets come with adjustable shelves that have 1/2” centers, allowing for flexible storage options that can accommodate a variety of container sizes and optimize space for your specific needs.
Our flammable and corrosive chemical storage cabinets comply with industry safety regulations and have been 3rd-party lab-tested to meet NFPA 30 6.3.3 para 2 requirements, ensuring that they adhere to the highest standards of safety and performance for the storage of hazardous chemicals.
