Infitek KJD-WGH-E08 Waste Gas Collection Hood
The Infitek KJD-WGH-E08 is a specialized laboratory safety interface designed for the efficient containment and extraction of corrosive vapors during chemical digestion. Specifically engineered for 8-position digestion systems, this collection hood acts as the primary defense against hazardous exhaust, ensuring that acidic fumes—typically generated during Kjeldahl nitrogen analysis—are fully captured at the source.
Key Performance Features
-
8-Position Optimized Configuration: Custom-fitted for 8-place digestion blocks, ensuring a precise and balanced suction across all sample tubes to eliminate "dead zones" where fumes might escape.
-
Premium Chemical Resilience: Built with high-density, acid-resistant materials, the KJD-WGH-E08 is designed to endure continuous contact with concentrated sulfuric acid and alkali vapors without corrosion or discoloration.
-
Thermal-Resistant Sealing: Features high-performance fluorine rubber gaskets that maintain a robust, airtight seal even under the extreme temperatures associated with the digestion process.
-
Uniform Vacuum Distribution: The internal manifold architecture is engineered to provide consistent negative pressure, ensuring that gases from every sample tube are drawn into the extraction system with equal velocity.
-
Leak-Proof Interface: The precision-molded design ensures a secure fit onto the digestion tubes, maximizing the efficiency of connected neutralization scrubbers or vacuum pumps.
Operational Benefits
-
Operator Health and Safety: By preventing the release of SO2 and other toxic gases into the laboratory, the hood significantly reduces the risk of respiratory hazards and chemical exposure for staff.
-
Equipment Longevity: Effective fume containment protects the digestion block itself and nearby laboratory electronics from the accelerated wear and tear caused by corrosive atmospheric moisture.
-
Streamlined Workflow: The lightweight and ergonomic design allows for quick installation and removal between digestion cycles, facilitating faster sample turnover.
-
Low Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surfaces prevent the accumulation of chemical residues and are easily cleaned with standard laboratory rinsing protocols.
