Portable Ductless Fume Hoods

"Pop-up" portable and suit case hoods designed for use in the field.

Introduction

Originally designed as a “take along” hood for a military application aboard Chinook Helicopters, these unique hoods are ideal for when temporary or in-the-field fume hoods are needed. The Portable Pop-up hood provides operator safety from both powders and chemical vapors. These units operate at low noise levels and because they recirculate, they do not exhaust expensive conditioned and/or heated air into the atmosphere.

The Portable Workstation has been specifically designed to provide a small bench mounted unit with unrestricted access for those operations that are difficult to perform in a conventional Control Panel fume hood. Its compact size makes it ideal for in-field use. To provide protection, the downflow action takes the contaminated air away from the operator and an alarm will sound when the airflow falls to an unacceptable Locking mechanism level.

The stainless steel worksurface is during transportation. removable for easy cleaning and provides access to the pre-filter and main filter. A spillage tray is also located below the worksurface to collect powders and liquids before entering these filters.

All electrical mechanisms are on the clean side of the filter, with the switches and electrical components being isolated from any contamination.

Filter Selection

The main filter can be chosen from 14 different types of carbon, which include speciality media for vapors of organics, solvents, acids, mercury and formaldehyde. HEPA filters for particulate filtration are also available.

Typical Applications

Typical applications include microscopes, forensics, fingerprint powders, veterinary and dental work.
