Plastic Concepts Laminar Flow Hood

Description

The Plastic Concepts, Inc. Standard Laminar Flow Hood is constructed of stress relieved 1/2” thick white polypropylene, an extremely durable and non-corrosive thermoplastic, highly resistant to most acids, solvents, and other corrosives. Polypropylene also offers non-conductive properties as well. The hood is designed to operate with a face velocity of 80-120 FPM. The full width plenum with adjustable dampers provides maximum efficiency for fume removal. The base cabinet is fully supported with adjustable levelers for easy installation. Each Plastic Concepts hood comes with an operations manual, including test data and certification, written warranty, and installation instructions.
