Product Description
Walk-In Fume Hoods are 'oversized' enclosures that are built to seclude the exterior of the hood from fumes, dust, odors, and other harmful particulate. Primarily, these hoods isolate the environment from particle contamination and allow applications to be performed in a sperate working area.
Also referred to as machine enclosures, these containment systems are used for a variety of applications including data recovery, tissue culture, drum and bin storage, botany, pharmaceutical, light grinding, sanding, and other applications that produce hazardous particulates and fumes.
While Sentry Air Walk-in Enclosures have several customizable features, the traditional design includes four structural supports, clear panel curtain walls, and a ceiling panel with mounted ductless air filtration units.
The curtained wall doubles as the entrance and exit to the enclosure as well as acting as a barrier surrounding the enclosure. The structural supports maintain the integrity of the enclosure while supporting the weight of the ceiling panel and filtration units. The filtration units utilize powerful fans to create negative pressure that then pulls fume, dust, and vapor from within the enclosure into the units' filter chamber before exhausting cleansed air back into the ambient room.
A mini 'cleanroom' environment can be created within the enclosure by utilizing positive-pressure filtration units atop the ceiling panel. In this scenario, ambient air is pulled into the units' filter chamber where dust and particulate are captured (99.97% down to 0.3 microns) before exhausting cleansed air into the enclosure work area.
