Ducted Fume Cupboards

100% Corrosion-Proof Ducted Fume Cupboards

Eliminate corrosion & maximise your products longevity with TION’s range of welded polypropylene fume cupboards. Purpose-built for chemical-intensive applications and acid-based processes.

BS EN 14175 Certified Fume Extraction

Ducted fume cupboards are a fixed fume extraction solution designed for chemical-based applications and processes. They exhaust toxic aerosols, vapours, gases and particulates via roof-mounted ventilation stacks directly into the atmosphere. It's an industrial system that removes the need for expensive filter replacements associated with ductless models, reducing your site's downtime.

At TION, we prioritise safety & compliance to exceed modern industry standards (BS EN 14175 certified). Our corrosion-proof units feature a 9-inch touchscreen control system with integrated airflow monitoring, tempered glass sashes, and a programmable red-light alarm system to keep your staff safe no matter the circumstance.

Customise Your Fume Cabinet
No matter the specification, our solution designers will create bespoke fume extraction systems tailored to your requirements. Our motto of "Customise, Don't Generalise" extends beyond standard product development to incorporate custom dimensions, accessories, screen sizes & materials. You control the outcome.

Reduce Your Energy Costs With VAV Technology

VAV, or Variable Air Volume, is a smart energy conservation system designed to mitigate excessive energy usage & costs. It achieves this by limiting airflow according to the cabinet's sash height. If the sash is closed, airflow stops, consuming less electricity by reducing external fan speeds.

Every high-performance, ducted fume hood we manufacture is capable of supporting VAV controls through our intuitive 9-inch touch-screen panel. When used in conjunction with our auto-sash solution (frontal sensors close the cabinet when no movement is detected), you can save up to 80% on your energy costs.

Ducted Fume Cupboard Datasheet
Five things to consider before purchasing a ducted fume cupboard
Five things to consider when choosing fume cupboards
Fume Cupboard Material Types
Fume Cupboard Service Package
What Is A Ducted Fume Cupboard?
A fume cupboard is a piece of laboratory equipment designed to contain gases, particulates and vapours from being airborne. A ducted fume cupboard (sometimes called a fume hood) uses an air duct or ventilation system to exhaust these vapours outside.
How Does A Ducted Fume Hood Work?
A ducted fume cupboard (or ducted fume hood) draws air from the front of the cabinet (sash) using an externally located extraction fan into a ventilation system fitted at the top of the unit. This system exhausts vapours to atmosphere via a vertical fume stack.
What’s The Difference Between A Ducted and Ductless Fume Hood?
A ducted fume cupboard (or ducted fume hood) connects to a ventilation system, which uses an extraction fan to exhaust toxic fumes outside the building. Ductless fume cupboards (sometimes referred to as recirculating fume cupboards) contain a built-in filter (Carbon filter or HEPA filter) that neutralises harmful substances before releasing the air back into the laboratory.
Is A Standard Ducted Fume Cupboard Suitable For Any Type Of Acid Or Substance?
No. Although ducted fume cupboards are designed for use with a variety of different chemical types, there are some exceptions. For example, Perchloric acid vapours can crystallise inside the unit or duct when dry. In this instance, we would only recommend a wash-down fume cupboard.
How Long Does It Take To Install A Ducted Fume Hood?
A ducted fume cupboard (or ducted fume hood) can take between three and seven days (or longer) to install, depending on the complexity of your project. Here, TION need to consider your ventilation requirements, building specifications and make-up air. However, you can expedite this process if you have a thorough specification brief detailing your needs.
How Much Does A Ducted Fume Cupboard Cost?
Ducted fume cupboards typically cost between £6,000 to £10,000, depending on the complexity and size of the unit. Unlike traditional mild steel fume hoods that rust and corrode easily, TION manufactures high quality fume cupboards using corrosion-resistant medical-grade welded polypropylene. This material extends the average lifespan of a ducted fume hood by up to 10 years.
