Walk-In Type Fume Hood is a special type of fume hood used in applications requiring large and bulky equipment or a wide process area. The name "Walk-in" comes from the fact that it provides a wide work area where users can step into the interior of the hood. These types of fume hoods are generally preferred in industrial and research laboratories.

Walk-In Type Fume Hood Features

1. Large Internal Volume:

o Provides a wide work area for large equipment or experimental setups.

o Suitable for working with bulky materials with their height-adjustable designs.

2. Durable Structure:

o Generally manufactured from materials such as stainless steel, galvanized steel or chemically resistant polypropylene.

o Coatings resistant to chemical corrosion are used.

3. Movable or Openable Panels:

o It has large openable or liftable panels on the front.

o Provides easy access to the work area and increases safety.

4. Ventilation System:

o Equipped with fan and filter systems that provide strong air flow.

o Effectively evacuates hazardous gases and fumes.

5. Lighting:

o It has a bright LED or fluorescent lighting system inside.

o It provides a clear view of the work environment.

Advantages

• Large Working Area: It offers the opportunity to work with large samples and equipment.

• Chemical Safety: It effectively discharges chemical vapors and fumes.

• Flexible Design: It can be customized according to various size and material needs.

• Safety: It protects the user from splashes, vapors or hazardous gases.

Areas of Use

• Chemistry and Materials Laboratories: For working with large vessels, reactors and furnaces.

• Pharmaceutical Production: For large-scale experiments and test processes.

• Industrial Tests: Testing of bulky machines or materials.

• Research and Development: Use of special devices or equipment in chemical environments.

Things to Consider

1. Space Requirement: Walk-in fume hoods require large space. A layout plan suitable for the laboratory layout should be made.

2. Ventilation Capacity: The air flow and exhaust system should be suitable for the type of chemicals used.

3. Compliance with Standards: It must be ensured that the fume hood complies with EN 14175 or other relevant standards.

4. Usage Training: It is recommended that users receive training to use the fume hood correctly and safely.
