CF-120-CR from TopAir – Carbon filter for ductless hoods
The CF-120-CR from TopAir is specifically designed to meet the needs of laboratories, hospitals, universities and industrial sites that use ductless extractor hoods. This high-efficiency activated carbon filter is designed for 120 cm wide hoods, providing a high-performance barrier against airborne contaminants. Its design is based on chemical adsorption, a process whereby harmful molecules are trapped on the surface of the activated carbon, preventing their release into the ambient air. This technology ensures effective filtration of chemical vapours, volatile organic compounds and other hazardous substances often emitted during the handling of chemicals.
This filter has been developed to maintain air safety and cleanliness in environments where external ventilation is not possible or desirable. Unlike conventional ventilation systems that exhaust air to the outside, ductless hoods operate by recirculation, and the role of the CF-120-CR is to ensure that the air is purified before it is released. Its effectiveness is based on the quality of the activated carbon used, which has an extremely developed internal surface area, promoting high and long-lasting adsorption capacity.
The use of the CF-120-CR helps to significantly reduce staff exposure to toxic vapours. This reduction in exposure results in improved respiratory comfort and overall safety in the workplace. Thanks to its optimised dimensions of 1100 x 300 x 70 mm, it fits perfectly into 120 cm hoods and ensures a uniform air flow across the entire filter surface.
In addition to its protective role, this filter also helps to reduce unpleasant odours from the chemicals being handled. However, its long-term effectiveness will depend on the conditions of use, the type of substances being treated and compliance with the recommended replacement intervals. Regular monitoring is therefore recommended to maintain optimum performance.
The CF-120-CR is also designed to be easily replaceable. Its lightweight structure and standardised shape allow for quick replacement, thus limiting interruptions to activity. This is essential in laboratories where continuity of experiments or production is paramount. In addition, the absence of complex handling during replacement reduces the risk of cross-contamination or accidental exposure.
Installing the CF-120-CR is a strategic investment for any organisation wishing to enhance the protection of its personnel while ensuring compliance with current safety standards. Combining filtration efficiency, ease of maintenance and compatibility with 120 cm hoods, this activated carbon filter from TopAir is a high-performance, reliable solution for environments requiring strict air quality control.
