Flex™ Laminar Flow Hood

• Provides an economical, ISO 5 (Class 100) work environment
• Integrated white polypropylene base provides a clean and chemical resistant work surface
• Adjustable front access shield features friction hinges for safe positioning
• Washable pre-filter, on/off switch for blower operation, *variable speed control and an 8’ long power cord
• Modular design allows hood configuration for application specific requirements
• Portability for convenient placement on most any bench or counter top
• Provides an ideal workspace environment for sensitive manufacturing, assembly and testing operations
• Light Shield/Control Box Interface (optional) provides on-demand fluorescent lighting and integration of all system electrical components
• Ionization system (optional) introduces both positive and negative ions that neutralizes charge that would otherwise damage static sensitive devices
• Standard system voltages include 120VAC 50Hz and 240VAC 50/60Hz
• Available in a variety of sizes and materials, including static dissipative PVC for added contamination control and chemical resistance

Standard Laminar Flow Clean Air Hood Material Options:

1. Acrylic (cast) – Ideal for general purpose processing. Provides some chemical resistance
2. Polycarbonate – High impact resistance makes this material ideal for thermal stress applications. Provides good chemical resistance
3. Polypropylene – Provides the best chemical resistance
4. Non-Dissipative PVC – Provides excellent chemical resistance
5. Static Dissipative PVC – Provides excellent chemical resistance. Also helps to reduce contamination build-up around and within the glove box by neutralizing static charges that attracts air borne particulate

Additional product information:

1. Small and medium clean air hoods feature a solid-state speed controller and large hoods feature a three-speed switch (low-med-high)
2. Access shields are made from the same material as the hood itself with exception to the polypropylene hood, which features a non-dissipative PVC access shield

Light Shield/Control Box Interface

Integration of the Light Shield/Control Box Interface into a Flex™ Laminar Flow Hood provides direct fluorescent lighting over the hoods work area and interconnection of system components into a single code compliant electrical box.

• The wrap design of the 304 stainless steel Light Shield directs the fluorescent light at the work surface and not into the eyes of the operator
• The 304 stainless steel Control Box integrates the hood, the light shield and the motorized fan filter unit into a single, stand-alone system. Features include an on/off switch for fluorescent light operation, an 18” long power cord on the HEPA filter unit, a duplex outlet and an 8’ long main power cord. One side of the duplex is marked “HEPA filter” and the other marked “spare”.
• Factory installed with the wire interface between the Light Shield and the Control Box via a liquid-tight bulkhead fitting

Power Strip

• Provides an convenient electrical connection for process equipment being used within the clean processing environment
• Mounted horizontally on the inside rear wall 3” from the bottom work surface
• Includes a master on/off switch, 4-outlets and a 15-amp circuit breaker

Spill Containment Tray

• Provides containment of liquid spills within the Purge™ Laminar Flow Hood or the Flex™ Laminar Flow Hood
• Fabricated out of ¼” (6.35 mm) white, chemical resistant polypropylene
• Removable for easy clean-up or storage when not needed

Ion Power Bar™

• Enhances cleanliness within the hood by neutralizing static charges that attract air-borne contaminates
• Continuous generation of static neutralizing ions help to protect static sensitive materials/devices from electro-static discharge
• Ionizing bar mounts below the HEPA filter unit providing optimized distribution of both positive and negative ions
