Complete with a low airflow alarm, whisper quiet 55 dba brushless and sparkless centrifugal fan generating a face
velocity of 0.5 m3/min, inter-filter test port for filter saturation detection, ‘slide-out effortless main filter change system
with patented Easy-Clamp that totally eliminates any by-pass leakage, FILTRETE electrostatic pre-filter with ‘clean-
change’ system, and a filter door fitted with a filter identification window. All mechanisms in the head section are on
the clean side of the filter, with he switches and electrical components being isolated from any contamination. The
filter module is located on an enclosure detailed below.
A face velocity of 0.5M/Sec ensures containment of fumes and particulates for operator protection. An alarm alerts
the operator if the airflow falls unacceptably low.
Enclosure and Stand
The filter module is located on an enclosure fitted with clear acrylic side panels for all-round vision and a hinged screen.
The enclosure is located on a closed steel cabinet base that allows access to waste and formalin dispensing services.
The stand is fitted with steel lockable castors for easy movement.
A formalin dispensing system is located in the under cupboard with a foot operated diaphragm pump to supply formalin
to the outlet within the enclosure. The 50 litre formalin tank is filled from within the enclosure to ensure that fume
Containment is maintained for maximum safety. It is also possible to have this formalin dispensing system built into
downflow benches. This cabinet can also be used for dispensing chemicals other than formalin - please call us.
