Light, handy and compact hood to meet mobility requirements without cluttering the workspace

These hoods can be equipped with laboratory arms and different types of nozzles depending on the type of application.

FAQ – Mobile Fume Hoods (spout nozzle, Dome & Flex Models)

What are mobile fume hoods used for?

FTM mobile fume hoods are designed to capture fumes, vapours, odours and light dust at the workstation using an articulated arm.
They combine flexibility and high filtration efficiency for electronics, dental labs, soldering, adhesives or solvents.

What are the differences between the spout nozzle, Dome and Flex models?
  • Dome → transparent dome hood for wide-area capture and maximum visibility.
  • spout nozzle → hood for more focused capture directly above the source.
  • Flex → flexible suction nozzle for very localised capture (soldering, dental, laboratory work).

All three versions share the same filtration base and extraction performance.

Are they equipped with HEPA filtration?

Yes. Each unit includes a high-efficiency HEPA filter (for particles and aerosols) combined with an activated carbon filter for vapours and odours, plus a pre-filter to protect the main stages.

What arm lengths are available?

The extraction arms are available in three lengths to adapt to your workspace:

  • 1000 mm (standard) – ideal for most workbenches.
  • 1300 mm – for extended reach or shared use.
  • 1500 mm – maximum reach (requires stable positioning).

The arm can be easily repositioned and locked in place during use.

What type of pollutants can they handle?

These hoods are suitable for a wide range of pollutants:

  • Vapours and fumes from solvents, resins, glues, inks and soldering.
  • Fine particles and light dust.
  • Odours or low concentrations of VOCs.

The combination of HEPA + activated carbon filtration ensures high versatility for multi-purpose labs and workshops.

Do they require installation?

No. These units are ready to use (“plug and filter”).
Simply place them near the workstation, adjust the arm, and switch on the extraction.
They are equipped with casters for easy movement between work areas.

What power supply do they use?

All mobile FTM hoods operate on a universal voltage: 80–230 V / 50–60 Hz.
This makes them compatible with any laboratory or production environment worldwide.

How should I maintain the filters?

Filters should be replaced when the airflow decreases or according to the product’s maintenance schedule.
Pre-filters are typically changed every 3–6 months, HEPA and activated carbon filters annually or as needed.

What are the key advantages of FTM mobile hoods?
  • Compact, mobile and ready to use.
  • High-efficiency HEPA + activated carbon filtration.
  • Three arm lengths available (1000 / 1300 / 1500 mm).
  • Choice of hood (spout nozzle, Dome or Flex) to suit your process.
  • Quiet, low-energy operation with adjustable airflow.
