SubscribeClear Demonstrations in Chemistry
Practical Chemistry
The T400 mobile School's fume cupboard has been specially developed to give pupils and staff maximum benefit from practical Chemistry and Science work. It would however be equally useful in an industrial or research Laboratory situation.
It employs the latest carbon filtration technology to remove fumes at source, allowing the cabinet to be fully mobile and so removing the need for obtrusive ductwork.
Being mobile and with four clear sides, the unit can be positioned centrally in the classroom allowing demonstrations to the whole class without students crowding behind the Teacher. It also enables the Teacher to keep a watchful eye on students as they are viewing the practical demonstration.
The unit is available with optional water supply, moulded drip cup and gas services. Each of which is connected to mains supplies via reinforced steel hoses fitted with self-sealing connectors. A safety tether is also available to ensure no undue stress is placed on any service connections.
Quiet in operation, lightweight to move and position, the T400 is the ideal choice for Schools. Constructed from the highest quality materials and with extended filter life and efficiency, the T400 is designed to give years of uninterrupted service and will help Teachers to ensure that practical Science is interesting and safe for all.
Airflow Characteristics
Clean air is drawn in through the front aperture where it circulates around the cabinet and collects any fumes that may be given off inside. It is drawn in through openings in the rear baffle to ensure even flow throughout the entire working area. The openings at the top of the baffle ensure that anyheated air can also be collected.
Contaminated air is pulled down the back of the cabinet and intothe plenum chamber before passing through the large capacity 22kg activated carbon filter [What is Activated Carbon?]. Should the airflow drop below recommended levels a low-airflow alarm will activate. The carbon filter can also be monitored by way of an optional filter saturation alarm that gives both audible and visual warnings in event of filter saturation.
"I was delighted with the performance of its filter system which contained all the noxious fumes evolved throughout the chemical reactions."
"It is of vital importance that teachers use demonstrations as a visual teaching aid, and that they can do so in a safe environment…… The combined benefits of convenience, flexibility, safety and low noise make Labcaire's T400 the ideal choice for practical demonstrations in chemistry laboratories."
