Walk-in Fume Cupboards

Ventilated Enclosures For Housing Large Equipment

TION's walk-in fume cupboards safely house heavy equipment and materials that cannot be stored inside a regular cabinet. Helping to shield your laboratory technicians and protect sensitive processes.
Technical Information
Walk-in Fume Cupboards

Prioritising Accessibility & Efficiency

Our corrosion-proof walk-in fume cupboards are designed to house heavy equipment like large chemical bioreactors and drum mixers. They support access to the workspace at high and low levels, allowing your staff to position their testing apparatus without the risk of injury. At TION, we manufacture our ducted and ductless models using 100% medical-grade polypropylene which increases the average lifespan of our cabinets by up to 10 years.

Energy Efficient LED Lighting

Energy Efficient LED Lighting

Sealed LED lighting offers eco-friendly, cost-effective 800 LUX illumination.

Lighting

Lighting is of critical importance when it comes to walk-in cabinets, as you need to ensure safe practice. The most suitable choice of lighting is LED. It lasts longer than older fluorescent types and saves energy.

  • LED 800 LUX fitted as standard
  • Yellow-filtered light for UV reactive solutions/materials
  • ATEX rated version
Your Choice Of Lining Materials

Your Choice Of Lining Materials

We offer different lining materials including polypropylene, stainless steel, PPS, and TRESPA.

Lining Material Types

The most frequently used material when constructing fume cabinets is polypropylene. However, we do offer alternatives for walk-in cupboards, as we know the material will depend on the application.

Lining materials

  • Polypropylene – ideal for most applications
  • Stainless Steel – for radioactive materials
  • PPS – most of the benefits of polypropylene but with UL94 V-0 fire retardant properties and a higher heat resistance
  • Trespa® Toplab Plus™ – only if requested, not recommended
Fully Customisable Sash

Fully Customisable Sash

Your choice of horizontal sliding doors and vertical sash options.

Sash Types

The large front opening grants easy access to mobile benches and trolleys. The metal-free construction* also ensures zero corrosion. This makes the cabinets ideal for applications** involving corrosive substances. A variety of linings are available.

Options available:

  • Full height toughened glass sliding vertically
  • Full height toughened glass sliding vertically with horizontal access panes
  • Full height polycarbonate sliding
  • Full height polycarbonate sliding vertically with horizontal access panes

*Metal option available if required **Except radioactive materials – we would use a stainless-steel lining for that application – or high heat applications when we would use metal.

High-Quality Filters

High-Quality Filters

You can choose between activated carbon, HEPA and UPLA filters on our ductless models.

Filters (for ductless models)

  • Activated Carbon blended for Acids, Bases, Solvents or combinations of both
  • HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air)
  • ULPA (Ultra Low Particulate Air)
  • Pre-filters
9-Inch Touch-Screen Control Panel

9-Inch Touch-Screen Control Panel

Centralized control system with a user-friendly interface, airflow monitoring, calibration and energy-efficient night setback mode.

Take Control Of Your Data

Our proprietary control panel software grants total control over the cabinet's airflow, energy consumption and alarms. Laboratory technicians receive live data feeds to simplify maintenance and diagnose faults. Whilst our night setback mode reduces electricity consumption.

100% Polypropylene Construction

100% Polypropylene Construction

We manufacture our fume cupboards using 100% virgin medical-grade welded polypropylene.

Polypropylene Carcass

We often get asked about the practicality of manufacturing our fume cupboards from polypropylene, but the answer is surprisingly straightforward. The material is simple to maintain and clean. It's also mechanically rugged and features a high chemical resistance when compared with other metals and plastics.

A walk-in fume cupboard (sometimes called a ventilated enclosure) is designed for processes that require large pieces of equipment and access at high and low levels. For example, bioreactors or large drum mixers.
TION's walk-in fume cupboards are available in two models. Ducted or ductless (recirculating). A ducted walk-in fume cupboard uses PVC ducting connected to a roof-mounted ventilation stack to exhaust unwanted fumes. A ductless walk-in fume cupboard filters air through a series of built-in carbon or HEPA filters (sometimes a combination of both) and recirculates air back into the room.
TION’s walk-in fume cupboards are available in five separate sizes. These range from 1200 mm to 2500 mm wide. However, we also can design bespoke walk-in fume cupboards with custom-size options and accessories to fit any lab space.
No. Although walk-in fume cupboards are designed for use with a variety of different chemical types, there are some exceptions. For example, just as in a regular ducted fume cupboard, Perchloric acid vapours can crystallise inside the unit or duct when dry. In this example, we would only recommend a wash-down fume cupboard.
A ductless walk-in fume cupboard takes between two and four hours to install. However, a ducted walk-in fume cupboard can take between three and seven days (or longer) to install, depending on the complexity of your project. Here, we need to consider your ventilation requirements, building specifications and make-up air. However, you can expedite this process if you have a thorough specification brief detailing your needs.
A walk-in fume cupboard will cost around £10,000 to £20,000, depending on the complexity and size of the unit. Unlike traditional mild steel fume hoods, we manufacture our products using corrosion-proof medical-grade welded polypropylene. This material extends the average lifespan of a walk-in fume cupboard by up to 10 years.
