exhaust equipment

Exhaust equipment includes hood assemblies (canopy, slot, downdraft), ductwork, and exhaust fans designed to capture and remove process emissions—fumes, dust, heat—at the source.

Fume extraction systems use high-capture-efficiency hoods connected to centrifugal fans delivering 1,000 to 200,000 CFM at pressures up to 6 kPa. Material choices—stainless steel, FRP—resist corrosion and chemical attack.

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) enable demand-based extraction, adjusting flow based on hood pressure or contaminant sensor signals, optimizing energy use and ensuring capture effectiveness.

Exhaust equipment protects worker health, prevents cross-contamination, and ensures regulatory compliance in laboratories, kitchens, welding shops, and manufacturing lines.
