Description
The POL-EKO DCL 1800 PP is built for labs that cannot compromise on space or durability. While smaller hoods may struggle to accommodate large pilot-scale setups, the 180-cm wide workspace of the DCL 1800 PP allows multiple processes to occur side-by-side. The Polypropylene (PP) build is the hallmark of this unit; unlike metal hoods with epoxy coatings that can eventually chip or peel, PP is chemically inert to mineral acids like $H_{2}SO_{4}$, $HCl$, and $HF$, ensuring the hood remains structurally sound for decades in harsh environments.Advanced Safety Controls:Safety at this scale is managed through integrated smart technology:Airflow Velocity Monitoring: The unit is equipped with a digital face velocity sensor.1 If the extraction speed drops below the safety setpoint (typically $0.5 text{ m/s}$), the system triggers an immediate audible and visual alarm to warn the operator of potential vapor escape.Motorized Sash Management: The tempered safety glass sash is motorized for effortless adjustment. It includes an automatic stop feature at the “safe working height” to ensure optimal containment during operation.Vapor Extraction Efficiency: The internal baffle system is designed to handle the large volume of the 1800 mm chamber, effectively removing both heavy and light vapors to prevent accumulation in “dead zones.”Ergonomics and Integration:Workspace Lighting: Integrated high-intensity LED modules provide uniform, shadow-free illumination (>800 lux) across the entire 1.8-meter work surface.2Utility Configurations: The side pillars come standard with 4 electrical sockets (IP44) and can be customized with various remote-controlled gas, water, or vacuum valves.Material Versatility: While the structure is PP, the worktop is customizable. Options include solid ceramics, technical stoneware, or epoxy resin, allowing the hood to be tailored for high-heat or high-impact applications.Primary Applications:Large-Scale Acid Digestion: Ideal for environmental testing labs processing hundreds of samples simultaneously in large digestion blocks.Pilot Plant Operations: Testing chemical processes in larger reaction vessels.Battery and Semi-conductor Manufacturing: Handling large trays or components in etching and cleaning processes.Materials Science: Large-scale analysis of metals and polymers requiring aggressive chemical treatments.
