Down Draft Fume Extractor

These negative-pressure systems are designed to eliminate costly exhaust systems, reduce energy losses, and aid in employee protection by capturing pollutants at the source of emission. Most histological solvents and reagents produce vapors that are heavier than air. Standard fume hoods disperse these potentially harmful vapors past the user. This uniquely designed fume extractor draws fumes down into the unit and exhausts pure, breathable air through an activated charcoal filter. It is completely ductless and does not require any special installation. No enveloping hood or draft makes it more comfortable than standard hoods. An easy to-operate dial controls the speed of the centrifugal fan. An activated carbon filter is enclosed in a separate drawer for quick replacement.

Proper filtration selection is critical to ensure operator safety from potentially harmful odors, vapors and airborne particulate. When selecting a filter for your application Apzem Engineers and Consultants will undergo a thorough field study and understands the process, source and its nature to make certain the proper filtration package is selected.
