Portable Fume Cabinets LFC

A portable laminar flow cabinet offers numerous benefits for laboratories and medical facilities. Its mobility allows for flexible placement and use in various locations, ensuring a sterile environment wherever needed. 

The compact design saves space, and easy setup makes them convenient for on-the-go applications. 

Overview

The LFC Portable Fume Cabinets are designed to ensure the safe capture and removal of laboratory fumes, providing a clean and safe working environment. These cabinets use inward airflow at a velocity of > 0.5 m/s to capture fumes, which are then moved upward through carbon filters specifically tuned to the application. The carbon filters effectively scrub the contaminated air, recirculating clean air back into the laboratory.

Key Features:

  • Effective Fume Capture:

    • Inward airflow at a velocity of > 0.5 m/s captures fumes efficiently.
    • Air is moved upward through carbon filters for purification.

  • Customisable Carbon Filters:

    • Standard activated carbon filter suitable for a wide range of common laboratory fumes.
    • Special-purpose carbon filters are available for specific applications.
    • Options for specially tuned Activated Carbon or Activated Alumina filters.
    • Combined HEPA filter available on the exhaust outlet for enhanced filtration based on designed use.

  • Versatile Sizes:

    • Available in three widths to suit different laboratory needs:
      • 600mm (LFC60)
      • 900mm (LFC90)
      • 1200mm (LFC120)

  • Optional Accessories:

    • Polypropylene work tray available for containment of spills.
    • The trolley stand is available for easy mobility across the LFC cabinet range.

Applications:

  • General Laboratory Use:
    • Ideal for handling common laboratory fumes and vapors.
  • Specialised Applications:
    • Suitable for specific applications requiring specialized carbon or alumina filters.
    • Ensures a safe environment for handling hazardous substances.

Support & FAQs

At Thermoline, we strive to supply helpful customer support to ensure that you get the most out of our products. We are committed to providing whatever support our customers need, wherever they are in the world. If you can't find your solution in the below FAQs or Knowledge Base, please contact our friendly support team.

Where are the clean air cabinets supplied by Thermoline manufactured?
All of the cabinets we supply are Australian Made by AES Environmental. AES has several manufacturing locations in Australia, and all of the Laminar Flow and High-Efficiency Filtration products are produced in their Minto, NSW facility.
What is fume cupboard used for?
Fume cupboards are used widely in laboratories and are designed to capture and remove airborne hazardous substances generated during laboratory experiments (e.g. gases, vapours, aerosols, biohazards and particulates/dust).
Can Thermoline arrange installation and commissioning of my cabinet?
Yes. Our suppliers have service divisions in most Australian states and territories and relies on qualified partners for other geographical locations. Each team is capable of providing on-site installation and NATA certification.
What is a carbon filter used for in laboratory fume cabinets?

The primary function of a carbon filter in a laboratory fume cabinet is to adsorb and remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful chemicals that may be released into the air. Carbon filters typically contain activated carbon, a highly porous form of carbon with a large surface area. The large surface area of activated carbon allows it to adsorb a wide range of chemicals from the air, including VOCs, odours, and gases.

The carbon filter in a laboratory fume cabinet is usually located in the exhaust system, which removes chemicals from the air before it is exhausted to the outside environment. This helps to minimise the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals for both the user and the environment.
