The APEX fume cupboard range is certified to BS EN 14175.

Premium Fume Cupboards

This premium, advanced technology range has been developed in collaboration with university users to meet operators’ needs. With toughened glass sides in addition to the glass sash, it provides a light and airy working space. And because the glass is thinner than the traditional twin skin of a fume cupboard, you gain extra space too.

The APEX fume cupboard range has been tested to meet BS EN 14175. The key Robustness of Containment Protection Factor (PFR) reading is 1,500,000 for an 1800mm wide version at 0.3m/s face velocity

Light & Bright APEX Fume Cupboards

The radius profile frontal design of the APEX fume cupboard range provides a smooth curved entrance and the high-level glass panel gives full viewable access to the internal chamber. Both the APEX-2 and APEX-3 operate at low volume flow rates down to 0.3m/s.

APEX-2 Fume Cupboard

The APEX-2 has a single skin chamber which can accommodate a much wider worktop than a conventional twin skin design. The APEX-2 fume cupboard also has a generous working space, and the glass sides make for a lighter work space. It is designed to be easily relocated with a FLT if required.

APEX-3 Fume Cupboard

Similar to the APEX-2, the APEX-3 Premium Fume Cupboards offers the same larger chamber benefits and generous working height and depth. The APEX-3 also offers a twin skin side wall, which allows service outlets to be side-mounted. It is designed to be easily relocated with a FLT if required.

Apex 2 – Find Out More

The APEX-2 Premium Fume Cupboard has a single skin chamber which can accommodate a much wider worktop than a conventional twin skin design fume cupboard. The APEX-2 also has a generous working space, and its glass sides make for a lighter work space.
When selecting the Variable Air Volume (VAV) fume cupboard option, the fixed panel above the sliding sash will be glass. This provides full height viewing access of the internal chamber and increases yet again the amount of light entering it. (In Constant Air Volume (CAV) units this will be an aluminium bypass grille.)
This fume cupboard is designed to be potentially relocatable, helping to future-proof your laboratory. Because it can be moved with a FLT, it can be delivered to site fully assembled (assuming access is available). Therefore, installation time is considerably shortened.

Apex 3 – Find Out More

Much like the APEX-2, the APEX-3 Premium Fume Cupboard offers the same larger chamber benefits and generous working height and depth. The APEX-3 also offers a twin skin side wall, which allows service outlets to be side-mounted.

FAQs

What is a Variable Air Volume (VAV) fume cupboard?

A VAV fume cupboard has a reduced amount of conditioned air extracted through the open sash. The sash position links to a motorised damper, typically above the fume cupboard.
When the sash is open at 500mm (the safe working height), the fume cupboard VAV damper is also available. As the sash is lowered, the VAV system closes the VAV damper. This reduces the amount of conditioned air pulled through the fume cupboard while maintaining a constant face velocity across the face of the sash.
To maximise VAV technology’s benefits, Clean Air recommends that VAV fume cupboards are fitted with an Auto Sash controller. Without the controller, the VAV performance will still be dependent on operator behaviour. With the controller, the position of the sash is monitored and automatically closed when not in use.
While there is an increased capital outlay for the control system, the two controls in combination will reduce energy costs dramatically. VAV and auto sash fume cupboards can achieve energy savings of up to 70%.
