Walk-In Fume Hood

Walk-In Fume Hood | High-Capacity Floor-Mounted Laboratory Ventilation Solution 

Luoyang Youken Laboratory Equipment Co., Ltd. manufactures the Walk-In Fume Hood from our 30,000 m² production facility, backed by 100 professional engineers and ISO, CE, SEFA, and SGS certifications. Our product is engineered for large-scale laboratory applications requiring floor-to-ceiling containment. It delivers an exhaust air flow of 220-360 m³/h at standard height, combined with a 60% make-up air ratio for optimal energy efficiency. The multi-duct laminar flow air supply system and qualified air leakage rate ensure your facility meets international safety standards. This floor-mounted unit accommodates tall distillation columns, pilot plant reactors, and 55-gallon chemical drums that traditional benchtop hoods cannot handle, providing you with a reliable solution for high-volume chemical processing and hazardous vapor containment.

Advanced Airflow Engineering for Maximum Safety

Your laboratory deserves ventilation technology that performs under demanding conditions. Our unit adopts multi-duct laminar flow air supply architecture that ensures uniform gas extraction across the entire work zone.

The three-stage deflector combined with conical airflow collection structure creates smooth airflow patterns. This design enables rapid extraction of harmful gases from every corner of the enclosure. You can operate large reactors and distillation equipment with confidence, knowing that volatile organic compounds are being efficiently removed.

The sealed isolation system prevents hazardous gas leakage into your laboratory environment. This critical feature safeguards your personnel's health during large-volume chemical processing and scale-up operations. The system maintains negative pressure containment even when housing bulky equipment that might disrupt airflow in standard hoods.

Technical Specifications & Configurations

Our Walk-In Fume Hood is available in three standard sizes to match your equipment requirements:

Each dimension provides floor-level access for roll-in equipment carts and tall apparatus that exceed the height constraints of benchtop units. The qualified air leakage rate ensures energy-saving operation without compromising containment performance.

Comprehensive Cabinet System & Safety Accessories

Your workflow efficiency depends on intelligent storage integration. The standard configuration includes two double-door storage cabinets built into the base structure. These cabinets keep essential chemicals and tools within reach while maintaining organized workspace.

You can upgrade to a frame-type structural design for enhanced load-bearing capacity. This option supports heavy analytical instrumentation racks or interconnected chromatography systems that generate significant weight loads.

Optional safety accessories enhance your laboratory's compliance and operational efficiency:

• Fireproof chemical cabinet: Store flammable solvents safely within the ventilated environment
• Waste liquid cabinet: Collect hazardous effluents without leaving the containment zone
• Waste bin systems: Manage solid waste materials that contain residual chemicals

Both upper and lower cabinets connect directly to your facility's exhaust system. This comprehensive ventilation integration ensures that stored materials remain under negative pressure, preventing vapor accumulation in closed storage spaces.

Industrial Applications & Performance Scenarios

The floor-mounted design solves critical challenges across multiple laboratory environments. In pharmaceutical R&D facilities, you can house large-scale chromatography systems and automated liquid handling robots where bulk solvents and powders require high-volume extraction.

Chemical pilot plants benefit from the ability to contain 50L to 100L glass reactors and multi-stage distillation racks. The expanded interior accommodates pressurized release scenarios while maintaining operator safety outside the sash line.

Materials science laboratories use these units for curing hazardous resins and testing structural components. Aerospace research facilities rely on the high-volume extraction capacity when toxic off-gassing occurs during component testing procedures.

Food GMP production workshops, pharmaceutical GMP facilities, and cosmetic manufacturing operations integrate the Walk-In Fume Hood for scale-up processes. The design meets the stringent ventilation requirements of regulated cleanroom environments while providing the physical space necessary for production-scale equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What size equipment can fit inside the product?

A:Our standard heights accommodate apparatus up to 2.3 meters tall. The floor-level access allows you to roll in equipment carts, 55-gallon drums, and pilot plant reactors that cannot fit through standard benchtop hood openings. Custom height modifications are available for taller distillation columns.

Q:How does the ventilation system prevent gas leakage with large equipment blocking airflow?

A:The three-stage deflector and conical collection structure create multiple airflow paths around bulky equipment. This design prevents the dead zones that occur in standard hoods when large apparatus blocks rear baffles. The sealed isolation system maintains negative pressure containment even with complex equipment configurations.

Q:Can the cabinet system connect to our existing laboratory exhaust infrastructure?

A:Yes, both upper and lower cabinets feature exhaust-compatible connections. Our engineering team will assess your facility's duct specifications and provide connection flanges that integrate with your existing HVAC system. This ensures unified pressure balancing across your laboratory ventilation network.

Q:What certifications confirm the safety performance of this hood?

A:Our units comply with ISO, CE, SEFA, and SGS international quality standards. Each hood undergoes factory testing for face velocity uniformity, containment performance, and air leakage rates before shipment. We provide certification documentation for your facility's regulatory compliance records.

Q:How does the make-up air ratio affect operational costs?

A:The 60% make-up air ratio reduces the volume of conditioned laboratory air being exhausted. This design lowers your HVAC energy consumption compared to 100% exhaust systems, while still maintaining the negative pressure required for safe containment. You save on heating and cooling costs without compromising safety.
