Ducted Fume Cupboard
Airvolution Ducted Fume Cupboard –
Keep your laboratory safe and compliant with the Airvolution Ducted Fume Cupboard — engineered to capture and remove hazardous fumes before they reach the breathing zone. Ideal for universities, research centers, and industrial environments, it provides dependable protection and clean air for every experiment.
Key Features of a Fume Cupboard
Ventilation System
A fume cupboard’s main purpose is to capture and remove harmful fumes safely. Air is drawn through the front opening (sash) and vented outside via a duct system. This process prevents contaminants from spreading and keeps your lab air clean and safe to breathe.
Sash and Safety Controls
The sash is a sliding window that lets you work safely inside the cupboard. Our cupboards include a built-in alarm that alerts you if airflow drops or unsafe conditions occur, helping maintain constant protection.
Airflow Monitoring
Each high-quality fume cupboard includes airflow sensors and monitors. These provide real-time ventilation data, so you can confirm the system is operating efficiently at all times.
Construction and Materials
Our cupboards are built from durable, non-reactive materials such as stainless steel, phenolic resin, or epoxy-coated steel. This ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and chemical damage.
Size and Design
We offer a range of cupboard sizes — from compact models for small-scale experiments to large walk-in units for handling bigger volumes. Features such as integrated lighting, shelving, and work surfaces add convenience and functionality.
Types of Fume Cupboards
Ducted Fume Cupboards
Connected directly to a building’s ventilation system, these cupboards expel fumes outside. They are ideal for laboratories that regularly handle volatile or high-volume chemicals.
Portable Fume Cupboards
These units use carbon or HEPA filters to clean the air before releasing it back into the room. Portable models are ideal for smaller labs or locations where external ducting isn’t possible.
Walk-In Fume Cupboards
Designed for large-scale operations, these cupboards allow you to enter and work inside. They are perfect for research or industrial settings that need maximum space and ventilation.
Benefits of Using a Fume Cupboard
Health and Safety
Protects lab workers by containing harmful fumes and preventing exposure to toxic substances.
Regulatory Compliance
Ensures your lab meets international safety standards, including ASHRAE 110-1995.
Improved Productivity
Consistent ventilation allows experiments to run safely and continuously, helping you maintain an efficient workflow.
Versatility
Suitable for a wide range of applications, including chemical testing, drug synthesis, and microbiological work.
Energy Efficiency
Energy-saving features such as variable airflow and LED lighting help reduce both power usage and operational costs.
How to Choose the Right Fume Cupboard
When selecting a fume cupboard, consider:
The type of chemicals you’ll use
Airflow and extraction requirements
Available laboratory space
Installation and maintenance needs
If you’re unsure, speak with a laboratory safety expert to ensure your choice meets both your technical requirements and local regulations.
A fume cupboard is an essential part of any laboratory safety system. Modern models offer advanced technology, durable construction, and improved energy efficiency — keeping your workspace both safe and productive.
Whether you need a ducted, portable, or walk-in model, choosing the right fume cupboard will help maintain a healthier and more efficient laboratory environment.

Portable Fume Cupboard
A portable fume cupboard is a mobile, self-contained unit that removes hazardous fumes via built-in fans and HEPA or carbon filters. It requires no external ducting, features airflow monitoring, and ensures safe handling of chemicals in labs, schools, and industries.
Walk-in Fume Cupboard
A walk-in fume cupboard is a large, ventilated enclosure that safely contains and exhausts hazardous fumes, providing a spacious, protected workspace for laboratory tasks.
Fan Filter Unit
A Fan Filter Unit (FFU) is a device used to filter and circulate clean air in controlled environments. It combines a fan, motor, and HEPA filter to remove airborne particles, maintaining air cleanliness in spaces like cleanrooms and laboratories.
