Innovative Laboratory Fume Hood Features for Acid and Alkali Resistance

Laboratory environments demand top-notch equipment that not only performs its functions efficiently but also guarantees the safety of users. Among the essential equipment in any laboratory is the laboratory fume hood, which plays a critical role in ventilating harmful chemical fumes and ensuring a safe working atmosphere. The YR05817, YR05818, and YR05819 models offer superior design and unparalleled performance for handling even the most challenging chemical tasks.

Description of the Product

The YR series of laboratory fume hoods are crafted to offer optimal safety and performance. They come with an adjustable front window made of 5mm toughened glass that allows for flexible operations and visibility while working with volatile chemicals. The built-in axial flow blower with adjustable speed is designed to handle variable airflow requirements, maintaining a stable environment inside the hood. The noise level is kept to a minimum, ensuring a conducive working environment, maintained at ≤60dB.

Each model in this series boasts unique dimensions to cater to different laboratory needs. The external sizes vary from 1200*800*2350 mm for YR05817 to 1800*800*2350 mm for YR05819, allowing for versatile placement within a lab setting. The internal dimensions ensure sufficient workspace, ranging from 950*700*1150 mm to 1550*700*1150 mm. The work surface height is a comfortable 800mm across all models, and the window maximizes opening to 750mm.
