BioBase FH1500(E) chemical fume hood – Safety and performance for your laboratory work
The BioBase FH1500(E) is a high-performance chemical fume hood designed to ensure operator safety when handling potentially hazardous chemicals. Its design combines robustness, reliability and efficiency to meet the strict requirements of modern laboratories. Thanks to its microprocessor control system and intuitive LED display, the user can adjust the air speed to nine different levels, ensuring precise control of the air flow and optimal protection against exposure to harmful fumes.
The FH1500(E) has been designed to withstand the chemical conditions found in a laboratory. Its exterior is made of 1.0 mm cold-rolled steel, coated with an antibacterial powder coating that protects the surface and facilitates maintenance. The interior consists of compact laminated panels offering excellent resistance to moderate acids and bases. The worktop, made of chemical-resistant phenolic resin, ensures increased durability and longevity even under intensive use.
Ergonomics is also at the heart of its design. The hood is equipped with a 5 mm thick manual tempered glass front window, which is height-adjustable to suit the user's needs while ensuring enhanced safety. The generous internal workspace (1290 x 600 x 870 mm) offers optimal handling comfort. The work surface is positioned at a height of 900 mm, which facilitates prolonged work while reducing fatigue.
The ventilation system is based on an integrated polypropylene centrifugal fan, designed to operate silently with a noise level of 68 dB or less. Vapours are extracted via a 5-metre-long PVC duct with a diameter of 300 mm. The system provides an air flow rate of 930 m³/h with a speed range of 0.3 to 0.8 m/s, ensuring efficient and uniform extraction across the entire work surface.
In the event of a power failure, the FH1500(E) has a memory function that retains the previous settings, so the user does not have to reprogram the parameters each time the unit is restarted. The integrated LED lighting (40W) perfectly illuminates the work area for optimal visibility. Two waterproof electrical sockets (total capacity 500W) are also integrated, allowing various appliances to be powered directly from the hood.
The FH1500(E) is equipped with a chemical-resistant polypropylene sink, a water tap, a base cabinet and the necessary exhaust ducts. For added flexibility, options such as an air flow control valve and a gas tap are available.
The BioBase FH1500(E) combines safety, durability and practicality, perfectly meeting the needs of chemistry, research and teaching laboratories. Its carefully considered design makes it a reliable piece of equipment for protecting users from the risks associated with chemical handling while optimising their working comfort.
