Integrated Water Sprinklers

Integrated Water Sprinklers

They rinse the cabinet's rear baffle, backspace, and duct connections to prevent residue build-up.

Top-Mounted Filtration

The sprinklers capture perchloric acid vapours from the top down, ensuring the entire cabinet is cleansed. The diagram below demonstrates how the system works.

High-Quality Worksurface Materials

High-Quality Worksurface Materials

We offer polypropylene, stainless steel, ceramic and epoxy worksurface materials depending on the needs of your application.

Which Worksurface Material Is Right For My Needs?

Polypropylene is our preferred worksurface material on a wash-down fume cupboard. Its corrosion resistance qualities ensure cabinet longevity and simplify internal cleaning procedures. However, there are occasions where stainless steel, ceramic or epoxy are more practical. Contact our team today if you're unsure which material you require.

A wash-down fume cupboard (or perchloric hood) is a ducted fume extraction device that provides containment from chemicals, including perchloric vapours, residues and particulates. It also eliminates the chance of perchloric salt formation through internal water filtration.
A wash-down fume cupboard features integrated water sprinklers behind the rear baffle plate to prevent perchloric acid crystallisation. It's a top-down filtration system that stops residue formation and explosive hazards. The cabinets are connected to a drainage system to remove water, with air extracted through a roof-mounted ventilation stack.
Wet-scrubber fume cupboards neutralise toxic vapours from the airstream before exhausting them into the environment. Wash-down fume cupboards prevent perchloric acid crystallisation using water jets fitted behind the rear baffle plate. TION specialise in both product types, with each range supported by a team of qualified engineers.
A wash-down fume cupboard can take between three to seven days to install, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Here, TION needs to consider your ducting requirements, building specifications, make-up air and drainage. However, you can expedite this process if you have a thorough specification brief detailing your needs.
Wash-down fume cupboards typically cost between £15,000 and £20,000. However, this is only a rough estimate. Ducting, unit size, accessories and installation times could increase this figure significantly.
Plastic (PVC) Ductwork & Fitting
Our wash-down fume cupboards feature corrosion-proof ductwork that’s durable, rigid and lightweight, providing our engineers with greater design flexibility. The smooth interior minimises airflow resistance with low surface tensions that reduce energy consumption. It’s a cost-effective metal alternative specifically designed for modern fume extraction systems.
