FilterMate Portable Exhausters

Source: Labconco Corporation

The FilterMate Portable Exhauster is an accessory for a number of enclosures, these exhausters return carbon-filtered and/or HEPA-filtered air to the laboratory.

The FilterMate Portable Exhauster uses a HEPA filter, carbon-based filter or a combination of both filters to remove hazardous powders, particulates or vapors from the exhaust air stream, returning filtered air to the environment and  no ducting to the outside of the enclosure is required.

 Labconco ventilation specialists use an exclusive computerized modeling program that compares NIOSH data with your chemical usage to determine the right filter cell(s) for your application.

The Portable Exhausters are an accessory for the Demonstration Hood, XPert Balance Enclosure, Protector XVS Ventilation Station or Protector Work Station.

All models feature:

  • Compact, corrosion-resistant housing of glacier white and light gray powdercoated steel with rubber feet.
  • Variable-speed, non-sparking motorized impeller.
  • Quiet operation. Oversized HEPA filter, efficient impeller and perforated exhaust cover work together to provide lower system exhaust velocity and noise pressure levels.
  • Inherently safe design. A negative pressure plenum surrounds the positive pressure impeller so that if a leak occurs, the unfiltered air is captured and refiltered.
  • Sized for Protector Demonstration Hoods, Protector XVS Ventilation Stations, Protector Work Stations and XPert Balance Enclosures. Capable of efficiently filtering up to 250 CFM for HEPA or carbon filtration; up to 200 CFM for combination HEPA/carbon filtration (60-100 fpm depending on enclosure model). Front-mounted rocker switch to control power to the blower.
  • Rear-mounted, auxiliary electrical outlet that may be connected to an airflow monitor or other user-supplied accessories.
  • Only one FilterMate is required for all 2', 3' and 4' wide enclosures. Multiple FilterMates may be used for 5', 6' and 8' wide enclosures.
  • Included: 8 feet of 5" ID flexible gray polypropylene hose, two clamps and a 4.9" OD Upper Transition Adapter for connection to the top of the Protector XVS Ventilation Station or Protector Demonstration Hood. 
  • 6.5' IEC three-wire electrical cord with plug (115 volt models).
