Laboratory Fume Hood
Laboratory fume hood is also known as fuming hood, fume cupboard and chemical fume hood. Aakar is one of the Quality Fume Hood manufacturers in India. AAKAR standard Fume cupboards are ergonomically designed and manufactured, following the guideline of AHRAE-110 and SEFA with safety parameters.
A fume hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation system inside the laboratory. It is a typical enclosed cabinet with sliding glass opening at front. Inside of the hood is aerodynamically designed that creates specific airflow pattern which ensures systematic and well directed extraction of heavy and lighter fumes or vapour generated in the fume hood. Inside working area of fume hood is mainly made of non-metallic & non-corrosive material as the chemical fumes are exposed to this area. MOC of the duct pipe is also recommended non-metallic & non-corrosive to ensure longevity of entire system.
Fume Hoods
Fume hoods are one of the most important safety equipment used to protect laboratory personnel form getting exposure to toxic gases, hazardous chemical fumes and harmful vapours generated during experiments performed inside fume hoods. (Caution: chemical fume hood may not provide protection from highly toxic i.e. LD < 50 mg/kg or highly reactive materials. This kind of operations must be carried out in a Glove box or other tightly closed system). Aakar fume hoods are supported by properly designed fume exhaust duct system having efficient centrifugal blower. In order to compete budget and space the exhaust duct system can be clustered with more than one fume hoods too.
Our team of experts calculates suitable duct size and required capacity of blower of exhaust duct system for every composition as per the need to achieve the best performance out of it. In case there is a high risk of fire, the fume hood should be equipped with fire extinguisher. It is made of powder coated steel, laminated wood and Stainless steel as per the need of your lab environment. We have verity of fume hoods for various laboratories like QC Lab, R & D Lab, Wet Lab, Hot lab or any other lab belonging to various industries such as Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, Industrial Research and development, clinical research, Bio-technology, Chemical, Petrochemicals, Cement, Engineering, Food & Beverages, Forensic Science, School & Colleges and Government sectors. Mainly we found three types of fume hoods as per its mounting style. 1) Bench mounted fume hoods 2) low bench fume hoods and 3) walk in fume hoods. As per the method to bring in air, there are three types of fume hoods found. 1) Open bypass 2) restricted bypass 3) Auxiliary air inlet. Some fume hoods are named as per their utility too, like Perchloric Acid Fume hood, Radioisotope fume hood etc.
