Exdron Chemical Fume Hoods: Protecting Your Employees and Your Environment
Exdron Chemical Fume Hoods
Exdron expertise is the design, production, and installation of chemical fumehoods for various applications and industries.
A chemical fumehood is a ventilated enclosure that traps and exhausts vapors, gases, and nanoparticles that are generated during laboratory experiments or industrial processes. Chemical fume hoods are essential for protecting the health and safety of your employees, as well as preventing the release of hazardous substances into the general environment. Chemical fume hoods also help you comply with the regulatory standards and best practices for occupational and environmental safety¹².
Exdron Chemical FumeHoods are state-of-the-art solutions that offer many advantages over conventional fume hoods, such as:
• High quality and durability: All parts are made in Israel, using 100% anodized aluminum construction and HPL (high-pressure laminate). These materials are resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and contamination, and ensure a long-lasting and reliable performance.
• Customization and optimization: We can customize your chemical fume hood to meet your specific requirements, such as the size, shape, configuration, and classification level. Our chemical fumehoods are made according to the Israeli 1839 standard, which specifies the minimum requirements for the design, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of laboratory fume hoods³. Our chemical fume hoods can also be integrated with other Exdron products, such as modular cleanrooms, to create a complete and efficient system for your application and industry.
• Fast and easy installation: We can deliver and install your chemical fume hood in as fast as 4 weeks, with minimum disruption to your operations. We have a team of experienced engineers, technicians, and consultants, who will work with you to design, build, and maintain your chemical fume hood, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.
At Exdron, we provide turnkey projects, from planning to manufacturing, installation, and certification. We have a wealth of experience and knowledge in the field of chemical fume hoods, and we are ready to assist you with any challenge or nee
Best Practices and Safety.
The efficacy of chemical fume hoods depends on following safety procedures and industry best practices. Among them are:
Use Properly: To maintain the best possible containment and ventilation, always operate the sash at the prescribed height. As this can impede airflow, avoid putting supplies or equipment too close to the baffles.
Frequent Maintenance: It’s crucial to provide the fume hood and its parts regular inspections and maintenance. This include looking for wear or problems on the sash, baffles, airfoil, and exhaust system.
Training: Employees in laboratories should receive instruction on how to operate fume hoods properly as well as emergency protocols for in the event of a chemical leak or equipment failure.Installing airflow monitors will allow you to continuously measure and display the fume hood’s face velocity. This makes sure the hood is running within safe bounds.
Chemical Storage: To prevent airflow obstruction and increased accident risk, do not store chemicals inside the fume hood when not in use.
Fume Hood Technology Advances by Exdron.
Fume hood technology has recently advanced with an emphasis on enhancing environmental impact, user safety, and energy efficiency. Among these innovations are a few of them:
High-Performance Hoods: These hoods use less energy and run more economically since they are made to contain at lower face velocities.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) Systems: By modifying airflow in response to sash position, these systems maximize energy efficiency without sacrificing security.
Smart Hoods: Having sensors and automation built in, these hoods are able to react to variations in user activity, chemical concentrations, and airflow, all of which improve efficiency and safety.
Sustainable Materials: Fume hoods have a smaller environmental impact when they are built with environmentally friendly materials.
