Core Features & Benefits
- ■ Superior High-Volume Containment: The 48" footprint offers maximum laboratory space for bulk processing, multi-stage weighing, or the use of large analytical instruments.
- ■ Venturi Airfoil Technology: Precision-molded ABS™ airfoils and a hinged front viewing sash with draft deflectors guide air efficiently through the rear baffles, preventing particulate escape.
- ■ Precision Weighing Stability: Includes a high-density black phenolic base that provides excellent chemical resistance and minimizes mechanical vibration for fast balance stabilization.
- ■ Real-Time Security Alarms: Features an integrated face velocity alarm system with audible piezo alerts and visual LED light indicators to track airflow safety levels continuously.
- ■ Industrial Grade Filtration: Top-mounted HEPA filter features a 100mm thick pleat and polyurethane gaskets for increased longevity and superior 99.995% efficiency.
