Fume cupboards

Specifically designed to provide a safer working environment, the Advanced Air™ series of ducted fume cupboards have proven to be a most effective fume management control system.

The Advanced Air fume cupboard incorporates a number of important factors in achieving this high standard of efficiency and safety performance.

Fume cupboards are readily available in fixed or variable volume configurations and can be supplied up to 4,000mm in length including multiple sash designs.

Advanced Air fume cupboards include designs specifically for perchloric acid usage and are accompanied by our successful fume scrubbers.

Fume cupboard sash-lowering mechanism

At last you can reduce those high energy costs with the intelligent new EcoSash™ II, proven to significantly reduce energy consumption. The EcoSash II system is a fume cupboard sash-lowering mechanism to reduce airflow consumption on VAV fume cupboards.

Wet fume scrubber

The Advanced Air toxic fume wet scrubber is an excellent air pollution control product for the removal of toxic / acidic fumes from the exhaust airstream before that air passes in to the atmosphere outlet. The Advanced Air web fume scrubber is made from corrosion-resistant material with no metals in the air stream. Water-saving re-circulating systems are available.

Forensic cabinets

The Advanced Air forensic fingerprint cabinet provides increased operator safety when obtaining fingerprints using cyanacrylate. The unit has variable cycle times, temperature and fume extract time, enabling the fingerprint process to be varied to suit different sized objects.

Ductless fume cabinets

TPE provides the Advanced Air low-flow ductless fume cabinets, which includes the Chemcap™ filtration system that meets the AFNOR NF X 15-211 standard.

Centrifugal fans

Brinkmann™ centrifugal fans have been designed for duct mounting and provide utmost reliability wherever toxic and corrosive gases or contaminated air is to be handled. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, they are designed for long service and economy, have a low noise level and are easily maintained. An integrated extraction system is an essential component of a fume cupboard management system.

PCR cabinets

The Labzone™ PCR cabinet allows sterilisation by UV radiation, destroying unwanted PCR products and protecting samples from contamination by users.
