Bigneat introduces Chemcap Easyglide ductless fume cabinets and hoods

Simple solutions ensure operator safety.

Chemcap Easyglide to its impressive range of ductless fume cabinetsBigneat, a world leading global supplier of ductless fume hoods and cabinets for operator protection from toxic chemical fumes, vapours, gases and particles during experimentation and laboratory handlings, today announces a new design of Chemcap ductless fume cabinet.

Building on the success of their Chemcap ductless fume cabinets, Bigneat has introduced a brand new sash door model with the emphasis on operator comfort and safety.  By incorporating a simple sliding sash at the front, Bigneat has modified their popular design to make it even easier to use.  This, coupled with unrivalled filtration technology, makes the new Chemcap Easyglide Cabinet an invaluable addition to the laboratory.

Specialising in bespoke laboratory cabinets and enclosures and with an experienced and enthusiastic design team supporting new developments, Bigneat recently manufactured and supplied the first of its new Chemcap Easyglide cabinets to Butterworth Laboratories Ltd; a UK based high quality contract analytical service, with whom Bigneat have a long-standing association. According to Kevin Sweeney, Butterworth’s Facilities Manager and Health & Safety Officer, 'Bigneat have always been eager to meet our requirements'.  So when Butterworth analysts, developing TLC plates using a reagent delivered by a spray, noticed that their existing cabinets afforded them little protection from solvent fumes, Bigneat was quick to offer a solution.  The resultant design is a significant improvement, Kevin observes.  'The sash system affords greater protection of the breathing zone and our analysts are now able to see the spray droplets being drawn away from the sash and into the filters.'  He goes on to say that ‘the sash door also enables the analyst to easily access the cabinet, aiding the installation of equipment and providing easy access for cleaning.’  And with additional features, such as the on-board sensor to remind the operator to lower the sash to its working position, Bigneat’s Easyglide cabinet ensures a safer laboratory environment.   

As with all the cabinets designs within the Chemcap range, the new Easyglide model has been extensively tested. It benefits from design improvements established in recent model range developments so that more of the carbon media within the carbon filter is utilised. This has resulted in an improvement of 20% in the filter retention of potentially hazardous toxic chemicals.

The range also features an easy-to-use touch-button on/off control panel with incorporated service due indicator and audible low airflow alarm. View of the working area is excellent and makes a cabinet comfortable to use for long periods.  An option for all Chemcap cabinets is a bench cupboard/open stand unit which may be fitted with a ‘Services Option’ which includes a swan neck water tap with drip cup and gas tap.

Bigneat’s Managing Director, Robert Monks, is optimistic about the success of the Chemcap Easyglide cabinet.  “Like so many of our designs the Chemcap Easyglide cabinet came out of a conversation with a customer.  By listening carefully to our client’s needs we were able to provide our clients with an engineering solution to suit their needs and to provide this solution at an affordable and agreeable price. It’s what Bigneat does best.”
