They are designed to meet the requirements of BS EN 14175 and are type tested on a project-specific basis for assurance of their excellent containment.

Sash Arrangements

The standard arrangement is a double sash opening. However, Clean Air has a wealth of experience in the design of bespoke sashes for specialised applications.

We regularly design three-sash systems – read our Howorth case study to find out more.

We can include motorised or counterbalanced sashes and sashes with horizontal openings for operator comfort and protection.

Our auto sash closing system can keep operators safe and reduce energy costs.

Bespoke Flooring and Sumps

Clean Air walk-in fume cupboards can be supplied with a selection of different flooring and drainage options:

  • Open to floor
  • Removeable stainless steel perforated walk-on panels with bunded sump
  • Cast epoxy resin or Trespa® TopLab®BASE bunded working level
  • Low profile ramp for easy equipment access

We can also engineer a ramp and storage system for the manual handling and removal of chemical waste from the fume cupboards. Visit our GEIC case study to read more about this smart system

Working Level

The unit can be manufactured to accommodate an intermediate removable working level at heights to suit your requirements. Because this slides out when not required it adds flexibility of use to the unit.

The working level can be fabricated from stainless steel, Trespa® TopLab®BASE or cast epoxy resin.

Energy-Saving Fume Cupboard Technology

Clean Air’s walk-in designs can be supplied as Constant Air Volume (CAV) or Variable Air Volume (VAV) units.

Our technologically advanced energy-efficient system reduces the volume of air pulled through the fume cupboard. As a result, the lab requires less conditioned air to replace what has been extracted.

In combination with an auto sash closure system, this can significantly reduce energy costs.

Clean Air aims to be carbon neutral by 2023. Not only do we want to lead the fume cupboard industry in sustainability, we want to help our clients reduce their energy consumption.

Environmentally Responsible

There is a Low Volume and Variable Air Volume (VAV) Clean Air fume cupboard option for virtually every application. Our expert team can advise you.

Clean Air is the UK’s industry-leading fume cupboard supplier for sustainability; we’re working hard to become carbon neutral.

Fume cupboard type-testing

Clean Air has both the in-house expertise and the cutting-edge testing equipment to check the containment performance of almost any make and model of the fume cupboard.

We can also test on-site at your location.

What is a walk-in fume cupboard?

A walk-in fume cupboard (sometimes called a walk-in fume cabinet or walk-in fume hood) is a fume cupboard that features a full-height sliding sash arrangement that extends from the floor of the unit to the eye level. This facilitates the installation and removal of large apparatus and equipment for experiments, processes and scale-up.
Walk-in fume cupboards can have all the features of a standard fume cupboard. They can include a removable working level for extra flexibility and particular drainage or spillage containment features in the base.
Clean Air offers a wide selection of standard and bespoke walk-in fume cupboards.
