AUTOMATED AND ENERGY EFFICIENT FUME CUPBOARDS
Labflex’s ventilation solutions include automated ventilation control for laboratories as an integral part of the fume cupboard design. Additionally, Labflex and competent subcontractors have developed and optimized these solutions over a number of years. Furthermore, Labflex offers both standard and customized controls.
Both technical IT and product-specific control systems can be supplied, and all product solutions are explicitly developed for implementation in laboratories. Consequently, the control systems render the fume cupboard intelligent, enhancing safety and optimizing energy consumption.
The Labflex operating system is intelligent and interprets the user’s behavior, so that the airflow is automatically adjusted depending on the height of the sash. For instance, if the sash window is closed, the air volume will be automatically reduced. Subsequently, the air volume is adjusted and adapted to a new window level within 1 second. This short reaction time significantly increases safety in and around the fume cupboard.
ENERGYSAVER FUNCTION
Labflex supplies several kinds of sash controls, including the EnergySaver function, which is an energy-saving feature.
Specifically, the primary function of EnergySaver is to close the sash automatically when not in use. This action not only reduces and optimizes energy consumption but also maintains safety.
Moreover, the EnergySaver controls are integrated with the general fume cupboard automation, ensuring that the automatic window closing and air-flow adjustment are regulated simultaneously. Additionally, we can program the automatic sash closing on EnergySaver to adapt the intervals to specific work and usage patterns in the laboratory. The user defines the time intervals. Importantly, sash closing can also be activated at specific times, such as after working hours.
Furthermore, the system uses advanced and sensitive technology to detect any resistance in the window from test equipment, stopping the automatic closing immediately. This feature eliminates the risk that experimental set-ups and equipment can be damaged or destroyed if they are protruding from the fume cupboard. Finally, Labflex can fit the product in both new and existing units.
FUME CUPBOARDS FOR ALL LABORATORY TYPES
Labflex is capable of supplying products with variable or constant air-flow and with integrated control solutions. Consequently, with its broad and well-documented product portfolio, Labflex can supply fume cupboards for all kinds of laboratories, including chemistry laboratories, analysis, research and development, GMO, or ATEX laboratories. Additionally, the product portfolio contains a wide selection of models from complex and large walk-in units to specially developed pathology units. Notably, isotope or perchloric acid fume cupboards are also part of the standard product range from Labflex.
Furthermore, Labflex can deliver the cupboards as stationary or with a height-adjustable function, and with options for sloping or straight sides and fronts.
Our global team designs and manufactures fume cupboards correctly and optimally, leveraging their in-depth understanding of standards, regulations, and trends. This expertise is embedded in our global team, which consists of architects, engineers, constructors, consultants, product specialists, and laboratory technicians. Thus, our knowledge guarantees that our customers always receive the best advice and optimal solutions.
Moreover, all laboratory units must be able to adapt to the laboratory’s existing and future needs, as well as to the various furniture systems. Adapting to specific user needs and behaviors, the given building conditions, and the current regulatory requirements ensures high efficiency and a long service life for all laboratory units.
Lastly, Labflex can integrate its products into both new and existing furniture systems.
WORK ENVIRONMENT: ERGONOMICS AND NOISE
Laboratories are dynamic environments where workflow and space requirements change. In response, Labflex can adapt its flexible fume cupboard solutions to new, specific application requirements to ensure efficient, integrated systems.
Additionally, Labflex offers fume cupboards with integrated, height-adjustable insertion frames and workbenches, available in various heights, depths, and widths.
Moreover, the sloping sash design of the fume cupboards optimizes the working position. This flexibility means that it can be adapted to the most complex ergonomic requirements. The sloping front design provides the most comfortable working position and is the least stressful for the body.
Furthermore, good lighting is an essential component of an excellent working environment. The light levels comply with the guidelines in DS/EN 14175 according to Type Approval part 3.
Lastly, Labflex’s design and choice of materials allow easy and effective cleaning of the interior and exterior surfaces. The back panels inside the fume cupboard are removable, and cracks and corners are avoided.
