Smart WhisperFlow™
Benchtop Laminar Flow Hoods

• Portable, economical system converts any benchtop surface into a laminar flow station
• Low-energy, electrically-commutated fan motor (ECM) reduces operating costs and enables remote, automatic monitoring and control of FFU (sold separately)
• Provides air flow speed 109 feet/minute (0.55 m/s) measured with HEPA filter; internal baffling plates and anodized aluminum diffuser panel ensure uniform air speed across the work area
• Quiet operation: 50 dBA measured 12" (305 mm) from filter face
• Select vertical or horizontal flow configuration to meet your requirements
• Available with three different wall panels: polycarbonate, static-dissipative PVC and stainless steel
• Work surfaces available to meet any cleanliness requirement
• Standard widths to 72" (1829 mm), with 24" (610 mm) or 30" (762 mm) depth (for horizontal laminar flow hoods, add another 13" [330 mm] for rear-mounted fan/filter unit)
• Standard outside height of 40.8" (1036 mm); horizontal flow hood height is 24" (610 mm)

Horizontal Flow Configuration: No. 1688-93-48-SD with static-dissipative PVC Panels

Polycarbonate wall panels afford full visibility of work in progress and resist a broad range of chemicals, including cleaning agents. Static-dissipative PVC panels provide broad chemical resistance and prevent the buildup of static, making it ideal for processes involving delicate electronics or powders that are prone to clinging to surfaces.  These panels slide into an all-stainless steel frame that provides durable support for the Fan/Filter Units (sold separately). The stainless steel-walled hood is built as one solid piece of stainless steel (no separate frame), offering the highest cleanliness and durability.

Each model also includes LED lighting and a hinged access shield that increases air speed by restricting the air exhaust. Hood orders are shipped completely assembled, ready for operation.
