An ATEX Rated Fume Cupboard is a requirement if your unit is to be located in an area with potentially flammable atmospheres. Areas with potentially flammable atmospheres must be void of sparks, including electrical components inside and outside of the unit’s airstream.
Product Description.
The Circulaire® ATEX Rated Fume Cupboard is engineered to provide optimal safety and performance in laboratories, chemical processing facilities, and environments that deals with volatile or explosive materials.
Equipped with high-efficiency filtration systems and robust containment, it is designed to safeguard both personnel and the workspace.
Our ATEX Fume Cupboard’s air filtration and containment performance meets ATEX Essential Health and Safety Requirements and complies with EN13463-1:2009. A specially engineered under-cupboard, containing ATEX Rated fan systems and a Vane Anemometer monitors the airflow to guarantee protection for your laboratory personnel and environment.
The fume cupboard operates by drawing contaminated air through its activated carbon filtration system, where harmful gases, vapours, and particulates are removed. Air is then safely expelled back into the room.
The unit is equipped with ATEX-rated components to prevent ignition sources from interacting with potentially explosive atmospheres, ensuring a safe working environment.
What does ATEX (EX) mean? Our ATEX Rated Fume Hoods are not designed to contain explosions. ATEX is a combination of directives describing equipment and working environments allowed within an explosive atmosphere. Therefore an ATEX unit is designed to eliminate spark potential outside of the unit and reducing the chances of ignition within a flammable atmosphere.
Solution
The Circulaire® ATEX Rated Fume Cupboard is engineered to provide optimal safety and performance in laboratories, chemical processing facilities, and environments that deals with volatile or explosive materials.
Equipped with high-efficiency filtration systems and robust containment, it is designed to safeguard both personnel and the workspace.
Filtration Fume Cupboards can be installed anywhere within your workspace. Our advanced filtration technology, capture and absorbs pollutants produced during chemical handling at source, removing the requirement for ducting to an external environment.
