Description

The Flow Hood YR06553 // YR06556 is an advanced solution presented as a high-performance laboratory solution, designed to ensure a safe and controlled environment. The body structure is constructed from a (1.0 mm) thick cold-rolled steel plate, which undergoes a pickling process and is coated with an epoxy-polyester paint, offering excellent resistance to acids and alkalis and aggressive chemicals. The work surface (desk panel) utilizes a (12.7 mm) solid physiochemical board, renowned for its chemical stability, though options like Trespa countertops, epoxy resin, and ceramic tabletops are also available. The >(5 mm) thick acrylic folding window (magnetically fixed and utilizing durable galvanized hinges) allows for three key positions: Fully Closed (for maximum harmful gas prevention), Half Open (at a safe operating height of (30 cm), and Fully Open (only for moving large equipment, not for working).

Frequently Asked Questions:

The system includes key features designed to address common laboratory concerns. Users often ask about safety during urgent situations: the unit is equipped with a “Full Speed” button (T-key) that immediately overrides normal settings, forcing the (110 W) axial flow fan to exhaust at its maximum capacity (1200 m³/h) for rapid, emergency gas ventilation. Regarding maintenance and cleaning, the safety folding window can be opened to its maximum height to facilitate easy access for cleaning and handling large instruments inside the cabinet. Finally, for setup, note that the product is provided in an all knock-down packing format, requiring on-site assembly.
