Specifications

Hosokawa Micron’s Fume Cupboards are entirely unique and are not available ‘off the shelf’ or as a standard design or range. Our customers come to us for unique solutions to very specific processing challenges that cannot be met by a standard Fume Cupboard available from other suppliers.

As a result, our Fume Cupboards can vary widely in their size, complexity, specification and functionality. Our team of containment experts is here to offer advice and guidance about the best processing or handling solution for your needs and to create high-performance Fume Cupboards that are safe, robust and will provide decades of reliable service.

Standard to all our Fume Cupboards are features such as toughened safety glass for sash windows and the latest technology used for controls, safety functionality and filtration, including the use of HEPA or carbon filters, depending on the application. We only use the best quality materials for construction and design our Fume Cupboards to ensure they are ergonomic and easy to clean and maintain.

Fume Cupboards by Hosokawa Micron are typically constructed from high grade stainless-steel and are designed to be aesthetically pleasing – with the highest levels of functionality and smooth, flush joints – as well as being easy to clean and maintain.

We will build your Fume Cupboard to safely surround your process and can integrate any number of features. Highlighted below are a selection of typical features and accessories that may be required when working with a standalone Fume Cupboard or process system.

How Does It Work

Hosokawa Micron’s Fume Cupboards work by creating a controlled airflow that draws contaminated air away from the operator, helping to ensure a safe and compliant working environment during tasks such as sampling, weighing and filling. Unfiltered air is drawn into the cupboard through the partially open front sash or bypass grill, then purged through the operating area to prevent a build-up of hazardous dust or vapours. This air is filtered—typically through HEPA or carbon filters, and safely discharged either back into the room or outside the facility.

An integrated airflow sensor continuously monitors the velocity of the incoming air to ensure it remains above safe limits (typically >0.5m/sec), triggering alarms if it drops too low. Additional built-in safety and performance features, such as sash position sensors, adjustable fans, filter access ports and optional ATEX-rated components, ensure that each Fume Cupboard is both highly efficient and tailored precisely to the customer’s application.
