ARE FILTRATION FUME CABINET SAFE?<\/h4>\n

Filtration Fume Cabinets are as safe as Ducted\u00a0Fume Cabinets when matched to the appropriate\u00a0application. Filtration Fume Cabinets are a good\u00a0choice for laboratories to avoid costly HVAC\u00a0upgrades and still be able to manage a variety of\u00a0filtration requirements.<\/p>\n

HOW VERSATILE ARE FILTRATION FUME CABINETS?<\/h4>\n

As requirements and applications change over time,\u00a0Filtration Fume Cabinets can be adapted to fit new air\u00a0filtration needs. Filters in are interchangeable and can be\u00a0customised to protect against a wide variety of chemicals.<\/p>\n

DO FILTRATION FUME CABINETS MAINTAIN\u00a0CONSISTENT FACE VELOCITY?<\/h4>\n

Filtration Fume Cabinets have high capacity air handling\u00a0systems to deliver 100 fpm face velocity. This velocity is sufficient\u00a0to contain chemical fumes and particulates. Advanced\u00a0monitoring technology also ensures that this face velocity is\u00a0maintained consistently, if velocity decrease an audible alarm\u00a0sounds to warn technicians.<\/p>\n

WILL A FILTRATION FUME CABINET WORK IN MY LABORATORY?<\/h4>\n

There are certain considerations to consider, such as the chemicals you are filtering, how\u00a0much of each chemical, and whether the environment is caustic or corrosive. Filtration\u00a0Fume Cabinets are designed for easy installation and can be moved around the laboratory\u00a0as needed.<\/p>\n

HOW DO I MONITOR MY CARBON FILTERS?<\/h4>\n

Each Filtration Fume Cabinet is equipped with a filter saturation alarm that alerts you when\u00a0the filter needs to be changed, ensuring complete safety for your technicians and\u00a0equipment.<\/p>\n

ARE THERE SAFETY FILTERS IN THE FILTRATION FUME CABINETS?<\/h4>\n

Filtration Fume Cabinets can include optional safety filter to offer increased protection\u00a0across the range of chemicals used in an application. A pre-filter is standard and is coupled\u00a0with either a customized carbon filter or HEPA \/ ULPA filtration.<\/p>\n

ARE FILTRATION FUME CABINETS AS TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED AS OTHER\u00a0TYPE OF FUME CABINETS?<\/h4>\n

Filtration Fume Cabinets have a variety of built-in alarms to monitor airflow and filter\u00a0saturation. Manual speed controllers manage fan speed and a variety of control options\u00a0can be operated independently or tied into a larger, remote controlled monitoring systems.<\/p>\n

WHAT TYPE OF FILTRATION IS AVAILABLE IN A FILTRATION FUME CABINET?<\/h4>\n

Carbon filters that protect against a variety of chemicals are available, as are HEPA and ULPA\u00a0filters. Filtration guides are available to help choose the correct filter based on the chemicals\u00a0in use in your cabinet.<\/p>\n

HOW QUIET ARE FILTRATION FUME CABINETS?<\/h4>\n

Most Filtration Fume Cabinets have a noise level of less than 55dba at one meter. Some units\u00a0are even quieter, depending on the fan used and the required airflow inside the hood.<\/p>\n

ARE FILTRATION FUME CABINETS ECONOMICAL?<\/h4>\n

Filtration Fume Cabinets not only save money on extensive HVAC and laboratory utility\u00a0upgrades for installation, but also cut costs over time by operating more efficiently than other\u00a0laboratory hoods. Efficient fan motors, low maintenance designs, and complete monitoring\u00a0systems mean that Filtration Fume Cabinets can cut utility costs and provide a low-cost solution\u00a0for filtration in a variety of laboratories.<\/p>\n

WHICH INDUSTRIES CURRENTLY USE FILTRATION FUME CABINET?<\/h4>\n

Filtration Fume Cabinets are installed around the world in a variety of industrial and laboratory\u00a0applications. Filtration Fume Cabinets can be used in the life sciences, pharmaceutical\u00a0manufacturing, forensics and evidence collection, industrial research, education and\u00a0environmental sciences.<\/p>\n

CAN I USE FILTRATION AND DUCTED FUME CABINETS IN THE SAME FACILITY?<\/h4>\n

In most laboratories, a combination of Ducted Fume Cabinets and Filtration Fume Cabinets is\u00a0an effective way to ensure complete filtration for all chemical applications. Filtration Fume\u00a0Cabinets can be incorporated to help expand the capabilities of an existing lab, while\u00a0avoiding additional construction costs and ongoing HVAC and utility expenses. Filtration Fume\u00a0Cabinets can also be on casters to allow the unit to be moved around within a facility,\u00a0providing ultimate flexibility of placement.<\/p>\n

DO FILTRATION FUME CABINETS RUN\u00a0CONTINUOUSLY?<\/h4>\n

They do not have to run continuously, but can if that is\u00a0what your application requires. If continuous operation\u00a0is not required, power switch controls turn off the fan and\u00a0other monitoring systems. This can help cut utility costs\u00a0and save on equipment wear and tear.<\/p>\n

HOW DO FILTRATION FUME CABINETS AFFECT FUTURE\u00a0FACILITIES PLANNING?<\/h4>\n

Filtration Fume Cabinets are invaluable in future facilities\u00a0planning. If you only have a short-term research contract, are\u00a0a start-up operation, or are located in a building with no\u00a0existing HVAC system or where one would be difficult to install,\u00a0Filtration Fume Cabinets can allow you to get to work\u00a0immediately. Once installed, you can have complete\u00a0confidence that your investment will be 100% portable and\u00a0re-usable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
