Flow Sciences Ventilated Ductless Balance Enclosure 32 Inch

Flow Sciences 32-Inch Ventilated Ductless Balance Enclosure

The Flow Sciences 32-inch Ventilated Balance Enclosure is a precision-engineered safety workstation designed to protect laboratory personnel from hazardous powders and particulates during sensitive weighing operations. Engineered specifically for high-accuracy analytical balances, this ductless enclosure utilizes a sophisticated laminar airflow pattern to ensure containment without causing air turbulence that could destabilize measurements. By employing integrated HEPA filtration, the system removes 99.99% of particulates at 0.3 microns, providing a safe "plug-and-play" environment that does not require connection to a house exhaust system. Its compact footprint and transparent acrylic construction make it an ideal solution for pharmaceutical R&D, compounding, and forensic laboratories.

Technical Performance and Design

• Turbulence-Free Airflow: Features a unique aerodynamically contoured air foil and a rear plenum designed to maintain a consistent face velocity (typically 60-80 FPM), ensuring stable balance readings down to the microgram level.

• High-Efficiency HEPA Filtration: Equipped with a high-performance fan/filter module that recirculates clean air back into the laboratory, eliminating the need for expensive ductwork while protecting the operator from potent APIs and fine powders.

• Durable & Chemical Resistant: Constructed with high-visibility, 1/4" clear acrylic walls and a chemical-resistant phenolic base (often dished to contain spills), ensuring longevity in rigorous lab environments.

• Vibration Isolation: The motor/blower system is internally isolated from the work surface, preventing mechanical vibrations from interfering with the precision of analytical or semi-micro balances.

Product Specifications

Key Benefits & Applications

• Pharmaceutical Compounding: Provides an USP <800> compliant environment for handling hazardous drugs and fine powders during the compounding process.

• Cost-Effective Installation: The ductless design allows for rapid deployment in any lab with a standard power outlet, avoiding the high costs and permanent facility modifications associated with ducted fume hoods.

• Enhanced Visibility: The 360-degree transparent panels provide excellent natural light and an unobstructed view of the weighing process, reducing operator error and eye strain.

• Mobile Versatility: Its lightweight and compact 32-inch design makes it easy to relocate or share between different workstations or laboratory suites as project needs change.

Used. Was originally manufactured as a UV-cabinet with laminar airflow, but the LCD display is non-working for control of the UV light. The regular light / air flow / unit on-off is controllable by the keyboard, however, and the filters are in beautiful condition. Thus, this will work excellently as a laminar flow balance enclosure.
