Fume Hood chamber
Fume Hood is an enclosure which is used to remove fumes and air borne particles at the contamination source. It is a kind of fume ventilation system whose major task is to remove smoke, dust mist and chemical fumes and restrict their entry into laboratory environment. A Fume Hood comprises of metallic sheet enclosure, steel or marble stone work bench, service fixture and electrical points. For fume exhaust, heavy duty blowers are fitted and remotely connected to the duct. Chemical fume hood, fume cupboard and fume closet are similar names of fume hood.
A fume hood's primary use is to remove fumes while reducing unwanted odors. It is utilized in industries where critical tasks are carried out, like low odor thresholds, solvent mixing, soldering, and working with volatile organics, powdered and flammable chemicals, various types of acids, and low odor thresholds, among others. All of these tasks produce hazardous fumes that are harmful to the environment, the operator, and those in the immediate vicinity. In this situation, a fume hood—which extracts fumes and expels them outside the workspace—becomes crucial for maintaining a suitable level of air quality and improving worker and laboratory safety.We are Indian makers of fume hoods.
