Simpler to use,
Safer to operate
Erlab’s 45 years of expertise in research, design and manufacturing of ductless fume hoods guarantee superior filtration that will keep you protected during your chemical processes.
Smart Technology: The new Captair Smart ductless fume hoods are designed with a simple and innovative way of communication. Smart Technology uses Smart-Light Communication to quickly see that the hood is operating safely so you can focus your attention on what is most important: your work.
DIMENSIONS: Exterior (mm): 1295W x 750D x 1340(min)/1515(max)H / Interior (mm): 1172W x 644D x 1065H
Superior air filtration performance
Erlab's products feature the BE+ filter, the most advanced molecular filtration technology available for ductless fume hoods. Multiple chemical types can be adsorbed at the same time, so you are no longer limited to applicatoin-specific filters or the inability to adapt to new lab processes.
Safety is our first priority: Filtration and containement performance cmplay with the AFNOR NFX 15-211 standard (Class 1 and 2).
Activate the power of the Smart technology
Each unit comes with Smart TechnologyTM – an exclusive set of tools that is comprised of smart-light communicationTM, chemical sensors, real-time status, and the eGuard app.
Smart-light communication is a soft band of light on the unit that lets you know the unit is operating safely. The band of light will slowly pulse to let you know if the air flow is compromised, if there is a fan failure, or there it is time to change your filters.
Erlab commits to guaranteeing your safety
Our safety program integrates and validates all steps to guarantee your safety: our laboratory examines your application to recommend a suitable solution and certify the use of each of our devices. Our post-installation follow-up service means you benefit from the best possible protection over time.
FEATURES & ACCESSORIES
Reverso sash
Designed with you in mind.
The rotation of the panel allows you to optimize the total work area to meet the requirements of your applications and processes. The Reverso sash allows access to the upper or middle section of the enclosure, which provides an ergonimic position for the user.
Containment is maintained in both positions to guarantee users safety.
Features on an Erlab CaptairFlex Ductless Enclosure
Control panel
Flow monitor
This device monitors the air flow and ensures the user that the fan is working properly.
Programmable Timer
This timer counts down the running hours of the unit and informs the user after every 60 hours of use a to perform a saturation detection test of the molecular filter.
(this feature is compliant with the AFNOR NF X 15- 211: 2009 standard)
Internal lighting
18 Watts - 500 Lux - IP68. Compact fluorescent lighting. From 1 to 3 tubes according to models.
Sampling port
It allows taking an air sample from the detection chamber in the filtration module in order to check the molecular filter saturation level, with the help of colour coded tubes (not supplied).
Air Flow meter
It measures the air face velocity which must be between 0.4 and 0.6 m/s
(this feature is compliant wi
th the AFNOR NF X 15- 211: 2009 standard)
Energy ports
Located on the enclosure side panels, they allow the passage of power cables/fluid pipes in the enclosure without discomfort for the user.
Chemical Listing : List of approved chemicals for Erlab filters
As stated by the ANSI Z9.5-2012 standard, Erlab provides a booklet containing an exhaustive list of chemicals, certified an independent test laboratory, that can be handled in the ductless enclosure in the conditions described in the AFNOR NF X 15- 211: 2009 standard.
The listing contains : the chemical name, the chemcial formula, CAS number, boiling point, molecular weight, and saturation vapor pressure.
This booklet also indicates the best filter optipn for each chemical and its retention capacity, the type of filter saturation detection system needed, the maximum quantity of the chemical that can be introduced within the enclosure, and the name of the test laboratory that performed the test linked to the chemical handling.
Safety AND Energy Savings
Erlab's innovative Flex Filtration Technology can safely handle liquids, powders, or both. It is safe, easy to install, and provides the added benefit of low running costs. Add a phenolic resin work surface for high chemical and moisture resistance. The containment and filtration effectiveness of the CaptairFlex make this protective equipment a reliable, economical, flexible and environmentally-friendly solution
Only Erlab offers a ductless enclosure that guarantees safety by:
- Adhering to the highest safety standard in the world for ductless fume hoods - AFNOR NFX 15-211: 2009 as recognized by ANSI Z9.5-2012. This standard guarantees that the emissions concentration at the filter exhaust will always be lower than 1% of the Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
- Providing a published chemical listing with the retention capacity for our filters
- Evaluation and approval of the chemical handlings performed in the hood
- A Certificate of Validation verifying the chemical usage, filter type, and filter lifetime.
Over 100,000 Erlab ductless fume hoods are in use worldwide without failure.
