Protector Echo Floor-Mounted Filtered Fume Hoods

Protector Echo Filtered Floor-Mounted Fume Hoods provide the interior height needed for bulky apparatus with no ducting required. These hoods feature fully-closing, vertical-rising sashes. eGuard® communication software offers real-time monitoring on the user’s phone or computer. From a remote location, data such as usage authorization, filter saturation detection, sash position and temperature may be observed and managed.

The Echo uses Neutrodine® Unisorb Filters, the most comprehensive, safety-driven carbon filter available. This single molecular filter type can easily adsorb most chemicals and mixtures, taking the guesswork out of filter selection. Erlab-proven Neutrodine Filters are the heart of GFH Filtration Technology.

Floor-Mounted models include a fiberglass panelized liner and three exterior depths: 37.7”, 43.7”, and 55.7”. Models are available for carbon-only, carbon with acid sensor, carbon with formaldehyde sensor, or HEPA-only filtration. Filters are sold separately.

To determine if your application is right for a Protector Echo Floor-Mounted Hood, please request a Chemical Assessment from a Labconco specialist who can recommend the appropriate enclosure and filters for your application.
