Types<\/strong><\/td>\nKey Pointers<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Canopy Hood<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • A type of hood that is usually suspended above the work area or installed on corner walls<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Used for non-toxic materials such as heat, steam, or odours from bulky apparatus<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Material of Construction: KMER Painted Steel, Unlined Painted Steel, Unlined Stainless Steel, Polypropylene + FRP<\/span><\/li>\n
  • If it’s coupled with a blower and ductwork, it can work at different exhaust rates making it versatile<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Slot Hood<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • A type of hood which is placed at a right angle to the work surface<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Used for purposes such as welding, grinding, buffing, etc. where the particulate from the experiment is problematic but at room temperature<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Material of Construction: Epoxy Powder Coated Aluminium<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Uses a more restrictive and faster airflow pattern which makes it energy efficient<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Snorkel Elephant Trunk<\/span><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • A semi-portable hood where it can be mounted either on the table, ceiling or wall depending on the usage and space available<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Used for purposes such as ventilating laboratory equipment and removing fumes and dust<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It\u2019s always connected to a local exhaust fan using a duct \u2014 giving it its name<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Material of Construction: Standard (Joints in polypropylene and tubes in aluminium), PP (Joints and tubes in polypropylene), ATEX (Joints and tubes in conductive polypropylene), ESD (Joints in conductive polypropylene and tubes in aluminium)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
