OPERATOR SAFETY

• Unique Hot Zone Baffles capture fumes quickly.
• Tri-wall construction and chain-and-sprocket sash system for maximum durability.
• When the sash is raised above 18 inches, it will automatically and gently fall back to the appropriate level, ensuring operator safety. This is due to Esco’s unique “Creep-down Mechanism”.
• Constant volume / high performance concept eliminates the need for complex VAV systems.
• Delivers outstanding containment even down to 60fpm face velocity (in accordance to the ASHRAE-110 test protocols) offering substantial energy savings vs. conventional fume hoods (up to 40%) and maintains high security even when airflow fluctuations occur from the preset value.

OPERATOR BENEFITS

• The tapered fiberglass exhaust collar reduces airflow turbulence, static pressure loss, noise level and increases face velocity uniformity.
• Perfect Pitch Profile™. The gentle pitch of the hood profile enhances visibility and operator ergonomics.
• Sash key-lock available to keep sash in place at full open position for equipment loading, or at full close position to restrict access into hood.
• 5-degree front slope for user comfort and improved ergonomics.
