LAMINAR FLOW HOODS:

Hoods offer particle-free work areas designed to increase productivity. Laminar air flow protects the product or process from contaminants introduced by many sources such as personnel, equipment or from the product itself.

Hoods can provide either horizontal or vertical air streams; vertical flow hoods are recommended for applications where the process generates vapors, solvents, chemicals or other fine powders.

In some cases where noxious fumes are being used, a vertical flow exhaust hood should be utilized. Hoods may be floor or table top mounted depending on the available space.

Lighting- Recessed 2 pin fluorescent lighting. 125 ft. candle =/- 20 ft. candles.

If vibration is a concern, a table top unit would not be suitable. Make sure to select a hood that provides adequate space for your process. A congested hood can also obstruct the air flow and increase particle accumulation.   Click here to view our Horizontal Work Station Selection Chart.
