Laboratory Fume Extractor
Product Overview
Our Laboratory Fume Extractor is a high-performance local exhaust
ventilation device engineered to rapidly capture and discharge
dust, hot air, volatile vapors, and hazardous gases generated
during experiments or production processes. Designed for
installation directly above benchtop activities, it safeguards
researchers by removing airborne contaminants at the source—before
they disperse into the breathing zone.
Built with high-density polypropylene (PP) components, 304
stainless steel linkages, and all-copper tightening knobs, this
extractor combines chemical resistance, mechanical durability, and
ergonomic positioning. Its 360° rotating arm offers extensive reach
across large work areas, while the manual airflow control valve
allows precise suction adjustment for different tasks.
Key Specifications & Structural Highlights
1. Premium Material Composition
- Joints: High-density PP, 360° rotatable, easy
disassembly/reassembly for cleaning.
- Joint Seals: High-density rubber rings, age-resistant, installed
internally for smooth rotation and tight sealing.
- Connecting Rods: 304 stainless steel—corrosion-proof and
structurally rigid.
- Tightening Knobs: All-copper core with embedded stainless steel
bearings for slip-free locking.
2. Airflow & Capture Design
- Collection Hood: Arch/cup-shaped; high-density PP or PC; standard
diameter 0.375 mm for efficient capture.
- Airflow Valve: External manual knob regulates suction intensity for
different experiment types.
- Tube Assembly: High-density PP connecting tube (0.75 mm) and base
tube (0.90 mm); chemically inert.
3. Motion & Reach Capabilities
- 360° Rotation Device:
- 3.15 m arm length → max radius 1610 mm from fixed frame
- 2.6 m arm length → max radius 1370 mm from fixed frame
- Fixed Base: One-piece injection-molded PP; no adhesives; secured to
lab ceiling with M8 expansion screws.
Core Functions & Benefits
Source-Capture Efficiency
Position the hood directly over emission points—beakers, hotplates,
reactors—to intercept contaminants immediately. This targeted
extraction prevents inhalation exposure and reduces the burden on
central HVAC filtration.
Chemical-Resistant Durability
PP construction withstands acids, bases, and organic solvents,
ensuring long service life without coating degradation. Stainless
steel and copper elements resist corrosion in humid, vapor-rich
environments.
Flexible Positioning for Complex Workflows
The 360° rotating arm and multi-axis joints allow operators to
reposition the hood quickly between tasks, improving ergonomics and
reducing setup time.
