FILTERED ENCLOSURE REMOVES VAPORS AND FUMES

New ParamountTM Filtered Enclosure Removes Vapors and Fumes Without Ducting to the Outside

Labconco Corporation, Kansas City, Missouri, USA, offers the NEW ParamountTM Filtered Enclosure, which is designed to remove small quantities of gaseous contaminants from chemicals such as organic solvents, acids, formaldehyde and ammonia. As an internal blower pulls air into the enclosure, contaminants released within the enclosure are diluted by the air, drawn through a rear baffle, and absorbed onto, or treated by, two internal carbon-based filters. A front air foil directs airflow into the enclosure to minimize turbulence and maximize fume containment. Sine the Paramount Filtered Enclosure requires no ducting, it is moveable, conserves energy and has lower installation costs than traditional fume hoods. Also, it may be used in "air-starved" laboratories. The Paramount Filtered Enclosure incorporates Filter Cells engineered to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) guidelines for respirators. Filters are color coded to respirator cartridge filter types. The Paramount Filtered Enclosure is shipped fully assembled and constructed of corrosion-resistant tempered safety glass sides and sash with an epoxy-coated aluminum frame. It is 3-feet wide, providing an ideal individual work station.
