FH-180 by TopAir – Safety fume hood for laboratories
The FH-180 from TopAir is an extractor hood designed to provide optimal protection for technicians and researchers handling hazardous chemicals. Thanks to its robust design and high-performance extraction system, it effectively removes harmful vapours produced during the handling of solvents, acids or toxic gases. Contaminated air is captured inside the hood and then directed outside via a centrifugal fan installed on the roof or on an external wall, ensuring a safe working environment that complies with current regulations.
The FH-180 is constructed from cold-rolled steel coated with a baked epoxy paint finish, ensuring exceptional durability and excellent corrosion resistance. The interior is lined with 6 mm HPL panels, offering high chemical resistance and easy maintenance. The front is equipped with a sliding tempered glass window, allowing the user to adjust the opening as required while maintaining a protective physical barrier against splashes and vapours.
The workstation is lit by an 800 LUX LED system, separate from the extraction area, ensuring optimal visibility without the risk of heating or degradation of the materials being handled. The ergonomics have been designed to facilitate handling while minimising user fatigue. The hood design allows for a steady air flow at a speed of 0.5 ± 0.1 m/s (100 ± 20 FPM), ensuring effective containment of pollutants.
The FH-180 meets the most stringent quality standards, including EN-14175 and ASHRAE 110-1995, attesting to its performance in terms of containment and safety. It can be equipped with an optional VAV (Variable Air Volume) system with a colour touch screen, allowing precise control of the air speed and the setting of visual and audible alarms in the event of insufficient flow. This feature helps to reduce energy consumption and extend the life of the ventilation system.
The worktop is available in different materials depending on the application: HPL, ceramic, epoxy or polypropylene. This flexibility allows the hood to be adapted to the specific constraints of each laboratory. Available options also include the integration of water, gas or vacuum taps, as well as polypropylene retention trays or sinks. The addition of integrated electrical sockets allows instruments to be easily powered while keeping the work area clear.
The FH-180 features a lower cabinet that provides convenient storage space for compatible equipment or chemicals. This cabinet is made from the same material as the main structure to ensure aesthetic consistency and chemical resistance. Thanks to its modular design, the hood can be customised to meet the specific needs of the laboratory, whether in an academic, industrial or research environment.
The TopAir FH-180 is a high-performance, reliable solution for all laboratories requiring effective protection against chemical fumes. Its solid construction, ergonomic design, compliance with international standards and numerous customisation options make it a safe and durable choice for ensuring staff safety and the quality of the work carried out.
