Safariland Purair5 Basic Ductless Fume Hood, 24" Width

The Safariland Purair5 Basic Ductless Fume Hood (24" Width) provides operator safety when and where routine work is being carried out. The units operate at low noise levels and because they recirculate, they do not exhaust expensive conditioned and/or heated air into the atmosphere. The Purair 5 unit is a compact bench-mounted unit that can be used for small amounts of chemicals.

A face velocity of 100 fpm ensures containment of fumes and particulates for operator protection. An automated alarm system alerts the operator if the airflow falls to an unacceptable level. The unit can be placed on any bench top and an optional polypropylene spill tray can be inserted if required. The rear of the unit has lighting to illuminate the work surface. All mechanisms in the head section are on the clean side of the filter, with the switches and electrical components isolated from any contamination.

The patented filter clamping mechanism allows easy filter installation and ensures an even seal at the filter face at all times to prevent bypass leakage. Two main filter styles are available for the unit. If the fume hood will be used solely for particulates, such as latent print powders, a HEPA filter should be used. Otherwise, a hydrocarbon filter should be used for vapors from chemicals and solvents. Hydrocarbon and HEPA filters may also be stacked, if both chemical vapors and particulates are involved. Pre-filters are included with the unit.
