design features
Aerodynamics
Airform Fume Cupboards have double angle side aerofoils to allow service
valves to be positioned away from the sash opening, which together with
our aerodynamic sash handle and sill profile, provides exceptional fume
containment. As
the sash approaches the closed position, an automatic bypass allows air
to enter the upper part of the chamber, ensuring correct purging and minimal
increase in face velocity.
Hinged
Sill
The sill is hinged to provide safe and easy distribution of external power
and data cabling.
Service
Outlets
Up to 12 service outlets can be accommodated with control valves mounted
on a removable service plate. Service outlets can be mounted on either
side of the fume cupboard to suit the type of work.
Sash
Stop
Electrically operated sash stop with simple push button override, linked
to a 'sash high' visual/audio alarm. The sash or sashes are counterbalanced
for smooth movement and are designed to prevent rapid descent in the event
of cable failure.
Front
Build
Our unique front build provides trouble free installation - the carcass
can be installed first giving excellent access for the fume extraction
system before the front is fitted. Access for maintenance is also easier
than traditional designs. The front section including the sash and counter
weight system, service control valves and electrical harness is fully
assembled prior to leaving our factory which minimises on-site installation
commissioning time.
Electrical
Distribution
All electrical services are pre-wired back to input/output terminals mounted
within a high level trunking. Good clear access is provided for both initial
wiring and future maintenance.
