ATEX rated non-sparking versions of our corrosive extract fans are required where there is the potential for explosion. Some common examples would be: means of transport for example vehicles and their trailers, intended solely for transporting passengers by air, road or rail. Vehicles intended for use in a potentially explosive environment are not excluded.

If a ventilation system in a laboratory is not set up correctly or malfunctions it poses a serious health risk and can lead to short and long-term illnesses consequently. Fumes and dust can cause respiratory disease or aggravate a person’s existing condition such as Asthma. A publication by the Health and Safety Authority explains how poor fume extraction design and/or maintenance may lead to pollution exposure in a laboratory rather than preventing it. A poorly designed, installed, misused and incorrectly maintained system can become an expensive waste of school funds and may give a false impression of hazard control. Many employers and employees overestimate the effectiveness of the different types of local exhaust ventilation and have a poor understanding of the types of conditions that could lead to a reduction in or depletion of its effectiveness. We offer a wide range of chemical resistant fume extraction fans, (also commonly known as plastic or polypropylene fans) which are ideal for extracting chemical fumes. Polypropylene plastic fans for though work environments in Laboratories, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The systems are fabricated in our Manchester-based factory by a highly skilled team of plastic fabricators and CNC machine operatives, and are individually engineered for optimum efficiency, reduced noise levels and energy conservation. There is always a risk of accidents happening where there is a large variety of chemicals stored or where there are ongoing operations producing vapours and corrosive gases. Fume cupboards prevent potentially dangerous vapours being released into the classroom in two main ways; through ducting or through filtered, recirculated air. Ducted fume cupboards draw air through the sash opening over the working area and through ducting to the outside of the building, most often the roof. This method is widely used as it suitable for extracting more toxic vapours than recirculating filtered fume cupboards. The latter is more suited to experiments using much less hazardous substances. Additionally, school fume cupboards act as a physical barrier between reactions and the classroom or laboratory. This provides a degree of protection against inhalation exposure, chemical spills and fires.
Options
The demand for more energy efficient systems in laboratories within schools, colleges and universities has seen an increase in designers and installers integrating EC polypropylene fans into new and existing fume cupboard systems. Our range of energy efficient corrosion resistant fans with IE5 B34 type EC motors reduce fan energy consumption by up to 20% without affecting the performance of the system and are available in single or three phase versions. All the UK bodies that were previously EU Notified Bodies became UK Approved Bodies. UKEX Certification equipment intended for use in domestic and non-commercial environments where potentially explosive atmospheres may only rarely be created, solely as a result of an accidental leakage of fuel gas. Our corrosion resistant fume fans are are designed for applications where potentially corrosive chemicals and hazardous gases are present in the environment or in the air stream.

Auto Extract Systems can help specify and design the right LEV system for your business's requirements. We only use the highest quality products and installations come complete with a 12-month installation warranty. ATEX Temperature Classes | ATEX Gas & Dust Zones | ATEX EEx Definitions | ATEX Hydrogen IIC Fans | Wind to Hydrogen Initiatives Chemical resistant fans are corrosion resistant and can be specified as an ATEX fan, which is ideal for working environments where there are potentially explosive atmospheres. Plastic fans are designed to be run at ambient temperatures and can be situated either indoors or outdoor use. All equipment that is certified for use in a flameproof zone is labelled with a code that defines its limitations to use as a complete UKEX, ATEX or EX rated fan product. The code effectively states the type of environment – above or below ground; the duration of the risk – frequent or accidental; the nature of the explosive atmosphere – gas or dust; the gas group – defined by ignitability; the temperature class – defined by spontaneous ignitability.
Accessories
Air flow controllers can be incorporated to monitor and control air speed and show the correct functioning of the fume cupboard’s air flow. Different versions are available depending on your requirements. If you're unsure about what you need, please get in touch, and one of our specialists will help you design a complete bespoke LEV solution to safeguard you and your employees. All the standards that were on the EU Commission list of Harmonised Standards for ATEX were transposed and became Designated Standards for the UK legislation. Use of such a standard gives a presumption of conformity with the Directive/Statutory Instrument for those requirements covered by the standards. The Designated Standards list continues to refer to standards by their EN number, rather than their BS number. The coverage of each standard, in respect of the directive/SI requirements, is given in a specific European Annex to the standard.
