Airone 1000DS Semi-Mobile Ducted Fume Cupboard for Schools & Colleges
The Airone 1000DS is a semi-mobile ducted fume cupboard designed for science teaching environments in schools and colleges. It provides 360-degree visibility for classroom demonstrations while safely carrying airborne contaminants away to an external discharge point.
The unit connects via the Safelab Docking Station and can be manoeuvred into position when required. It is ideal for education settings that need the flexibility of a demonstration fume cupboard with the benefits of a ducted system.
This is based on the existing page, which says the 1000DS is a ducted schools fume hood for classroom demonstrations, provides all-round visibility, uses flexible ducting, and connects via the Safelab Docking Station.
Need a ducted fume cupboard for school or college science demonstrations?
Best suited for
The Airone 1000DS is best suited for schools and colleges that need a semi-mobile ducted fume cupboard for classroom demonstrations and practical science teaching.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Secondary school science departments
- Colleges and sixth forms
- Chemistry classrooms
- Practical demonstration areas
- Shared science teaching spaces
- Schools that want a ducted fume cupboard with all-round visibility
- Sites that require external discharge rather than carbon filtration
- Schools that want to avoid replacing activated carbon filters
Product overview
The Airone 1000DS semi-mobile ducted fume cupboard is designed to support practical science demonstrations in schools and colleges. Laminated glass panels to the sides and rear provide all-round visibility, helping students clearly observe experiments during teaching.
The flexible duct connects to PVC ducting, with a fan installed to carry airborne contaminants safely away to an external discharge point. Safelab can provide a full turnkey solution, including the installation of an energy-efficient fan and duct system where required.
The unit is connected to services through the Safelab Docking Station, allowing it to be positioned for classroom use and then stored when not required. Where there is no need to move the fume cupboard from its demonstration position, the Airone 1000DS can also be supplied with feet and rigid PVC duct.
