- Optimized Airflow: Equipped with advanced internal baffles and airfoils to maintain smooth and consistent air circulation, enhancing containment and user safety.
- Durable Construction: Built with robust 1.2mm cold-rolled steel, finished with a corrosion-resistant epoxy resin powder coating for longevity in demanding environments.
- Customizable Options: Offers various liners, worktops, and control panel configurations to fit specific lab applications and budget requirements.
Why Opt for a Benchtop Fume Hood
Not every laboratory has the space or budget for a full-height fume hood with integrated cabinetry. The benchtop design addresses these challenges by using existing workbenches, providing an efficient, flexible fume extraction solution. Despite its compact footprint, the JH-FC023 delivers all essential features, such as precise face velocity control, quiet operation, and effective containment of hazardous fumes—on par with larger units.
Why Choose the JH-FC023
The JH-FC023 excels at reliable fume containment while minimizing cost and space use. By omitting an integrated base cabinet, it integrates seamlessly with existing lab furniture. The airflow system uses precision-engineered baffles and airfoils to distribute air evenly across the work area, maintaining safe face velocity (0.3–0.6 m/s) and low noise levels (≤ 60 dB) for an uninterrupted, safe working environment.
Key Features
- Exterior Construction: 1.2mm cold-rolled steel finished with epoxy resin coating for excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
- Interior Liner Options: Standard 5mm compact panels, with optional ceramic or polypropylene liners available for enhanced chemical and heat resistance.
- Work Surface: Choose from epoxy resin, ceramic, phenolic resin, or stainless steel to meet specific chemical handling requirements.
- Lighting: Integrated 30W daylight lamp offers ≥400 LUX illumination, ideal for precise lab tasks.
- Electrical Access: Four 220V/10A waterproof outlets provide safe, convenient power for lab equipment.
- Control Panel Enhancements: Standard LCD panel for essential controls, with an optional advanced French control panel featuring face velocity monitoring and alarm functionality.
- Airflow Dynamics: Keeps face velocity within the optimal range of 0.3–0.6 m/s, supporting a safe working environment while keeping noise to a minimum (≤ 60 dB).
- Flexible Sizes: Available in standard widths of 1200mm, 1500mm, and 1800mm, with customizable dimensions as needed.
Applications & Ideal Users
This benchtop fume hood is specifically designed for:
- Laboratories requiring fume containment without structural modifications or new storage cabinets.
- Universities, QC labs, and research facilities with constrained floor space.
- Budget-conscious organizations needing professional-grade fume extraction.
- Labs handling general chemical procedures where a full floor-standing unit isn’t necessary.
