Extraction Arms & Hoods

General laboratory environment

Fumex ME

The Fumex ME extraction arm combines maximum flexibility with minimal pressure drop. This makes it the optimal type of extraction arm for all general laboratories and light industry.

Patented friction design: the ME extraction arm features a patented friction design that provides exceptional positioning stability, despite the light and highly flexible movement of the arm within its working radius. When not in use, the arm can be moved completely out of the working zone so that work is not obstructed, while the joint system and positioning still leave enough room to access the laboratory equipment that requires extraction.

ME models are available with a wide range of hoods and mounting brackets, so they can be installed in a variety of laboratory settings and serve a large number of instruments, depending on the required airflow and the type of substance being extracted, regardless of the conditions of the space and the nature of the work. Available materials: aluminium, polypropylene and stainless steel.

• Aluminium
• Polypropylene
• Stainless steel

High temperature resistance

Fumex MEX AA

Fumex MEX AA is an extraction arm model intended mainly for instruments such as atomic absorption spectrophotometers (AAS), ICP analysers and similar. This model fits easily into extraction systems you already have, or it can be installed very easily as a stand-alone piece of equipment. Its telescopic design allows positioning along two axes and offers a choice of a rectangular or round hood, in line with the most common requirements of the instruments this arm is designed for.

This model can withstand temperatures up to 250 °C, as it is made of stainless steel (EN 1.4404 – 316L), while the flexible exhaust hose is made of aluminium and polyester. The fan we offer with this extraction arm fully matches the specifications and operating requirements of this model and has been tested for operation at 200 °C, making it suitable for both laboratory and industrial conditions.

• Up to 250 °C
• Stainless steel EN 1.4404 (316L)
• Fan tested at 200 °C

Extraction cabinets

Fumex DSK

Fumex DSK is a product line of small, mobile cabinets that work in a similar way to laboratory fume hoods. These benchtop cabinets are used to evacuate harmful fumes generated by small sources. They are most often used when working with pupils or students who study chemical reactions in small vessels, where the amount of fumes released is not large enough to justify occupying a fume hood. In industry, they also make it easier to work with processes involving various lubricants, adhesives and similar toxic substances whose fumes must be evacuated efficiently, without having to create a large working area that is safe for the operator.

DSK cabinets are made of a stable, robust aluminium frame with fully transparent walls for a clear view of the process inside the cabinet, and come with a suitable ventilation connection. Available dimensions (H × W × D):

• 400 × 600 × 400 mm
• 700 × 1000 × 500 mm
