Safe, Certified Fume Containment

TION's high-performance ducted fume cupboards offer excellent levels of chemical containment for a broad range of commercial applications. They exhaust toxic aerosols, vapours, gases and particulates via roof-mounted ventilation stacks directly into the atmosphere. It's an industrial system that removes the need for expensive filter replacements associated with ductless models, reducing your site's downtime and maximising profitability.

Reduce Your Energy Costs With VAV Technology

Variable air volume is a proven, cost-effective way of reducing your energy usage by up to 80%. It works by limiting airflow according to the cabinet's sash height. If the sash is closed, airflow stops, consuming less electricity by reducing external fan speeds. It's a more sustainable and efficient method of regulating the airflow inside your cabinet compared with standard CAV systems. Click here for more information on the benefits of Variable Air Volume.

A ducted fume cupboard is a containment device designed to extract toxic gases, vapours and particulates generated during chemical experiments. It uses PCV ductwork connected to an external ventilation stack to exhaust fumes into the atmosphere, preventing harmful chemical exposure to personnel inside the lab.
A ducted fume cupboard exhausts hazardous fumes into the atmosphere by drawing air from the front of the cabinet into a roof-mounted ventilation stack at 0.5m/s. It uses PVC ductwork and a centrifugal fan to direct airflow outside the building, preventing staff from inhaling toxic fumes.
A ducted fume cupboard (or ducted fume hood) connects to a ventilation system, which uses an extraction fan to exhaust toxic fumes outside the building. Ductless fume cupboards (sometimes referred to as recirculating fume cupboards) contain a built-in filter (Carbon filter or HEPA filter) that neutralises harmful substances before releasing the air back into the laboratory. For more information please visit "Choosing Ducted vs Ductless Fume Cupboards".
No. Although ducted fume cupboards are designed for use with a variety of different chemical types, there are some exceptions. For example, Perchloric acid vapours can crystallise inside the unit or duct when dry. In this instance, we would only recommend a wash-down fume cupboard.
A ducted fume cupboard (or ducted fume hood) can take between three and seven days (or longer) to install, depending on the complexity of your project. Here, TION 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. For more information please visit "How Long Does It Take To Build A New Fume Cupboard?".
Ducted fume cupboards typically cost between £10,000 to £15,000, depending on the complexity and size of the unit. Unlike traditional mild steel fume hoods that rust and corrode easily, TION manufactures high quality fume cupboards using corrosion-resistant medical-grade welded polypropylene. This material extends the average lifespan of a ducted fume hood by up to 10 years. For more information please visit "How Much Does A Fume Cupboard Cost?".
