Slope-Front Fume Hoods This type of hood normally has a sliding sash on an angled open front. The sash can be supplied counter balanced or manually pinned at different openings and is never allowed to close completely, however, fully Isolated Hoods are available.
The angled design allows for improved visibility and access to ambient light, which augments the on board lighting systems. The exhaust flow is front to back with a front mounted spoiler to accelerate flow at deck level. Plastic Design, Inc.’s Fume Hood designs have been laboratory tested and accepted for flow uniformity and fume capture efficiency.
Hoods are supplied as table top or as standard units with fully exhausted base cabinets. The design of this hood allows for maximum flexibility, and construction material can be specified from a number of plastics based on customer needs.
F.M. Compliant Plastics or Stainless Steel is also available as options. Installation of surface mounted or built in components based on customer requirements is standard. Explosion proof to meet a Class I Div. I requirement is also an option.

The Bench Top flow hood is supported by your existing bench and is self-contained with HEPA, pre-filter, speed controlled blower, and lighting.
