BioBase FH1200(E) – Chemical protection hood for laboratories
The BioBase FH1200(E) chemical hood is designed to provide a safe and controlled working environment when handling potentially harmful chemicals. It is an essential piece of equipment in chemistry, teaching, research and industrial analysis laboratories. Combining robustness, precise airflow control and ease of use, this model meets protection and productivity requirements.
The FH1200(E) features a chemical-resistant phenolic resin work surface and a cold-rolled steel exterior coated with antibacterial powder paint. The interior, made of compact laminated panels, offers excellent resistance to acids and alkalis, ensuring increased durability even under intensive use. The manually adjustable 5 mm tempered glass front window ensures safe handling while allowing optimal visibility of the work area.
Thanks to its microprocessor control system, the user can precisely adjust the air speed from nine available levels. This flexibility allows the flow rate to be adapted to specific needs, whether for delicate work requiring a lower air flow or more demanding operations requiring greater extraction. The integrated LED display clearly shows the operating parameters, facilitating real-time monitoring.
The FH1200(E) hood has a built-in polypropylene centrifugal fan, ensuring quiet operation and easy installation. This extraction system is combined with a 5-metre-long PVC exhaust duct with a diameter of 300 mm, optimising the removal of vapours and particles from the workspace. In the event of a power failure, the integrated memory function retains the previous settings, ensuring a quick and efficient restart without loss of configuration.
Ergonomics is at the heart of the FH1200(E) design. Its 900 mm working surface height allows the user to work in a comfortable position, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. The large front opening, up to 750 mm, facilitates access to samples and instruments while maintaining an optimal level of protection. The low noise level, less than or equal to 68 dB, contributes to a more pleasant working environment, even during continuous use.
In terms of equipment, the FH1200(E) comes with standard accessories. These include a polypropylene sink, a water tap, two waterproof electrical sockets (total capacity 500 W) integrated into the hood, and a sturdy base cabinet. Users also have the option of adding extras such as a gas tap or an air supply flow control valve.
Reliable, robust and easy to use, the BioBase FH1200(E) chemical fume hood is the ideal choice for laboratories looking for an effective device for containing and extracting chemical fumes. It combines operator protection, durability and ease of maintenance, making it a sound investment for any facility that regularly handles volatile or hazardous chemicals.
