Laboratory Fume Hood Manufacturers

We are the leading Laboratory Fume hood manufacturers and supplier in India. Our offered laboratory fume hood is made using quality raw materials and tested under strict supervision of quality professionals. Regardless of its name Fume Hood, Laboratory Fume Hood, Chemical Fume Hood, Laminar Fume Hood, or any other cleanroom equipment, we are always capable to fulfil your requirement. The primary role of our laboratory fume hood is to provide best protection to lab staff. You will be always secured in these fume hood from Hazardous gases, wapor, air pollutants and chemical waste.

What is Laboratory Fume Hood?

A laboratory fume hood protects workers from harmful fumes, gases, vapors, and dust. It protects against spills, splashes, and small explosions. Think of a fume hood as a big box above a lab table. It has a door or shutter on the front, and sometimes it has glass or metal walls around the sides. If the experiment needs to be visible to others, like during a demonstration, the fume hood might have glass walls. But in most cases, a simple metal cabinet facing a wall works just fine. Hence, they safely handle hazardous materials in chemical, biological, or medical labs. Besides, they are designed with an adjustable sash (a glass window) that allows easy access while maintaining safety.

How does a Laboratory Fume Hood works?

A fume hood serves several important functions:

  • It protects users from inhaling harmful fumes.
  • It prevents contamination of experiments or samples.
  • It shields users from potential explosions or spills.

    To do all this, a fume hood is made up of three main parts: the table, the enclosure, and the air suction system. The table is typically a sturdy frame made of CRCA steel, with built-in storage like cabinets or drawers to store lab equipment. The enclosure is also made of CRCA steel, with a glass window (called the sash) that you can slide up and down. The glass should be strong, and in some models, it’s even explosion-proof. Inside the fume hood, there are usually good lighting systems, and it’s equipped with necessary connections like water, gas, and a drain in case of spills. The air suction system is located at the top or back of the hood and includes a powerful exhaust fan or pump with ducts that vent the air outside or through a filter. The strength of the airflow is crucial and can range from 4 to 8 meters per second or more. When the exhaust fan runs, it draws air into the hood and vents it safely.

    Laboratory Fume Hood Testing Requirements

  • Visual Inspection - We visually check the fume hood for any damage, blockages, or anything that can disrupt airflow.
  • Airflow Face Velocity - We check the air speed to make sure it's within the right range by using hotwire anemometer. This gives us a baseline for future tests.
  • Airflow Visualization Test - We use a smoke pen or generator to create visible smoke inside the fume hood. The smoke helps us see how air is flowing into and out of the hood. This helps us spot any airflow problems in the lab.
  • Tracer Gas Static Test - We release a harmless gas inside the hood and measure how much of it escapes. This test shows if the hood is containing the fumes properly.
  • Tracer Gas Sash Movement Effect Test - This test checks how opening and closing the fume hood sash (the adjustable window) affects its ability to contain fumes.
  • Tracer Gas Perimeter Scan Test - Here, we look for any leaks around the edges of the fume hood. If we find any then we can pinpoint where they are so they can be fixed.

    What is a Laboratory Fume Hood used for?

    Laboratory Fume hood reduce the possibility of exposure to poisonous gases while allowing lab workers to operate with potentially hazardous chemicals. The sash (window) of a chemical hood enables the worker to observe and operate objects inside the enclosure while preventing fumes from dangerous or volatile chemicals from coming into contact with the worker's face.

    Industries that use Fume Hoods include:

  • Semiconductor Industry
  • Colleges & Universities
  • Chemical Industries
  • R&D in Pharma Lab

    Types of Fume Hoods

  • Ducted Fume Hood
  • Ductless Fume Hood
  • Down flow Fume Hood
  • Custom Fume Hood
  • Laminar Fume Hood

    Laboratory Fume Hood operation tips

    The best way to cut down on energy expenditures is to keep the sash as minimal as possible and shut when not in use. The facility's HVAC system is put under less stress since less exhaust is produced because the laboratory fume hood discharges conditioned air that has either been warmed or cooled, in accordance with the local environment.

    Remember that the position of the sash can change the enclosure's air velocity, and a locked sash may have sufficient additional airflow to disrupt delicate components or instruments. In order to achieve the balance that is right for you, the blower rate may need to be adjusted slightly.
