Exdron chemical fume hoods: Protecting your workers and your environment
Exdron Chemical Fume Hoods
Exdron specializes in the design, manufacture and installation of chemical fume hoods for a variety of applications and industries.
A chemical fume hood is a ventilated work area that captures and removes vapors, gases and nanoparticles 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 materials into the general environment. Chemical fume hoods also help you meet regulatory standards and best practices for occupational and environmental safety.
Exdron chemical fume hoods are innovative solutions that offer many advantages over conventional fume hoods, such as:
• High quality and durability: All parts are manufactured in Israel, constructed of 100% anodized aluminum and HPL (high-pressure laminate). These materials are resistant to corrosion, abrasion and contamination, ensuring reliable performance over time.
• Customization and optimization: We can customize your chemical fume hood to meet your specific requirements, such as size, shape, materials, configuration and classification level. Our chemical fume hoods are manufactured according to the Israeli Standard 1839, which specifies the minimum requirements for the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of laboratory chemical fume hoods. Our chemical fume hoods can be combined with other Exdron products, such as modular clean rooms, to create a complete and efficient system for your application and industry
.• Quick and easy installation: We can supply and install your chemical fume hood within 4 weeks, with minimal 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 it meets the highest standards of quality, safety and efficiency.
At Exdron, we deliver projects, from design to manufacturing, installation and certification. We have a wealth of experience and knowledge in the chemical fume hood field, and we are ready to assist you with any challenge or need
Best Practices and Safety
The effectiveness of chemical fume hoods depends on industry safety procedures and best practices. These include:
Proper Use: To maintain the best possible containment and ventilation, always operate the fume hood window at the designated height. As this can impede airflow, avoid placing unnecessary supplies or equipment on the work surface as much as possible.
Frequent Maintenance: It is essential to conduct routine inspections and maintenance of the fume hood and its components. Standards require daily operator inspections, semi-annual inspections, and annual inspections.
Training: Laboratory workers should be trained in the proper operation of fume hoods, as well as emergency protocols in the event of a chemical leak or equipment failure. Installing airflow monitors will allow the fume hood’s face velocity to be continuously measured and displayed. This ensures that the fume hood is operating within safe limits.
Chemical Storage: To prevent airflow obstruction and increased risk of accidents, chemicals should not be stored inside the fume hood.
Exdron’s chemical fume hood technology is advanced.
Chemical fume hood technology has advanced recently with an emphasis on improving environmental impact, user safety, and energy efficiency. Some of these innovations include:
Electric front glass: For convenient and precise use by the worker, maximum safety, and less energy consumption and loss of air conditioning power in the laboratory.
Variable Air Flow (VAV) Systems: By changing the airflow in response to the position of the front glass, these systems maximize energy efficiency without sacrificing safety.
Smart Hoods: With built-in sensors and automation, these hoods are able to respond to changes in user activity, chemical concentrations, and airflow, all of which improve efficiency and safety.
