Tabletop Fume Hood CompactLine DCL 1500

POL-EKO Tabletop Fume Hood CompactLine DCL 1500 The DCL 1500 Tabletop is a 1500 mm wide ducted fume hood designed for high-level personnel protection against hazardous fumes and dust in a compact benchtop format. Constructed from epoxy-painted galvanized steel, it features a powder-coated steel interior (with options for ceramic or resin) and a manual tempered glass sash. Despite its reduced height (approx. 1235 mm), it maintains professional safety standards, including a double rear-wall extraction system and a Schneider airflow monitoring set (compliant with PN-EN 14175).

Description

The POL-EKO DCL 1500 Tabletop is the ideal solution for laboratories that require a wide working area (1434 mm internal width) but have vertical height constraints or prefer to utilize existing benchtop infrastructure. Unlike the standard floor-standing models which come with integrated under-bench cabinets, this unit sits directly on top of your existing laboratory table or specialized stand.

Advanced Airflow & Safety Features:

Double Rear Wall System: Even in this compact format, the hood utilizes a dual-slot extraction system (top and bottom). This ensures that light vapors are pulled from the ceiling and heavy vapors are extracted from the worktop level, preventing the build-up of hazardous “dead zones.”

Airflow Monitoring: Every unit is equipped with a Schneider FM 550-A-0-E monitoring system. It provides real-time digital feedback on face velocity and alerts the operator via audible and visual alarms if the airflow becomes insufficient (typically below 0.3?0.5 m/s).

Counterweighted Sash: The 4 mm tempered glass sash is balanced by a counterweight system for smooth operation. It features a safety mechanical lock at the 500 mm position to ensure optimal protection during work.
+1

Ergonomics and Build Quality: The unit is built from 1.5 mm galvanized steel (no wood components) and finished with chemically resistant epoxy powder paint. While the “BB” model comes with a powder-coated steel interior as standard, it can be customized with high-performance linings (Phenolic Resin, Ceramic, or Polypropylene) depending on your acid-usage requirements. It includes energy-saving LED lighting separated from the working chamber by a protective glass pane to prevent corrosion.

Primary Applications:

Educational Laboratories: Providing a safe, visible workspace for chemistry demonstrations.

Small Pharmaceutical Labs: Handling volatile organic solvents or basic powder weighing.

Industrial QC: Routine testing of non-aggressive chemicals in satellite labs.

Electronics Repair: Protection during soldering or cleaning with hazardous solvents.

Specifications

Tabletop Fume Hood CompactLine DCL 1500 Specifications

The CompactLine DCL 1500 is an expanded tabletop fume hood designed for laboratory environments requiring a larger workspace for chemical processes. Like the rest of the DCL series, it is constructed entirely without wood-based materials, utilizing a robust galvanized steel frame and chemically resistant finishes to ensure long-term durability and operator safety according to EN 14175.

Functional and Safety Features

  • Dual-Zone Extraction: The double rear wall system features slotted exhaust ports at the top and bottom of the chamber to effectively capture both buoyant (light) and heavy (dense) chemical vapors.

     
  • Airflow Monitoring: Equipped with a Schneider FM 550 controller and an acoustic/visual alarm system that triggers if the face velocity drops below the safety threshold.

     
  • Decompression Safety: An integrated ceiling flap provides immediate pressure relief to protect the operator in the event of a rapid pressure spike or mild explosion within the chamber.

     
  • Counterbalanced Sash: The vertical sliding window is balanced with a weight system and features an “anti-drop” mechanism to prevent the sash from falling if the cable fails.

     
  • Service Utilities: Comes standard with four 230V electrical sockets, two water outlets, and two gas connections, all controlled via external valves on the side pillars.

  • Non-Turbulent Airflow: The aerodynamic design of the side pillars and sill minimizes turbulence at the face of the hood, ensuring high containment efficiency.
