Fume Hoods in Ivory Coast
Available Fume Hoods Models

In laboratory and clinical settings across Ivory Coast, a fume hood (also known as a fume cupboard or extraction hood) is a critical piece of safety equipment. It functions as a self-contained, ventilated workspace designed to protect users from hazardous fumes, vapours, mists, and dusts generated during various scientific and medical procedures. By drawing contaminated air away from the user and exhausting it safely outside the building, fume hoods create a controlled environment that mitigates inhalation risks and prevents the spread of airborne contaminants within the facility.

Our fume hoods are engineered with advanced airflow dynamics to ensure optimal containment, offering a reliable solution for the safe handling of volatile chemicals, potent pharmaceuticals, and infectious biological agents. We understand the unique demands of healthcare and research in Ivory Coast, and our products are built to meet stringent safety standards while ensuring ease of use and maintenance.

In Ivory Coast's growing healthcare and research landscape, a variety of facilities and departments rely critically on fume hoods to ensure the safety of personnel and the integrity of their work. These essential pieces of equipment are not just for large, centralized laboratories; they are vital across a spectrum of institutions where the handling of hazardous chemicals, volatile substances, or infectious agents is a daily occurrence.

Ensuring the optimal performance and safety of your new fume hood in Ivory Coast begins with a meticulous installation process. Our expert technicians follow a systematic approach to guarantee seamless integration and compliance with all relevant safety standards. We understand the unique logistical considerations within Ivory Coast and are equipped to manage every stage from site preparation to final calibration.

Site Preparation

Before delivery, careful site preparation is crucial. This involves:

• Ventilation Infrastructure: Ensuring adequate exhaust ductwork is in place, correctly sized, and routed to an appropriate external exhaust point, adhering to local building codes and environmental regulations.

• Power Supply: Confirming a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet is readily accessible for the fume hood and its integrated components (e.g., blower, lighting). Voltage and amperage requirements will be provided based on your specific model.

• Workstation Space: Clearing the designated installation area, ensuring sufficient clearance around the fume hood for operation, maintenance, and access. The floor or benchtop must be level and capable of supporting the fume hood's weight.

• Plumbing (if applicable): For hoods requiring water or gas connections, ensuring appropriate supply lines are run to the installation site.

Delivery And Unpacking

Our logistics team will coordinate a convenient delivery schedule. Upon arrival, the fume hood will be carefully unpacked, and all components inspected for any transit damage. Our technicians will then position the fume hood in its designated location.

Installation Steps

The installation process involves several key steps:

• Assembly and Mounting: Assembling any necessary base cabinets or stands, and securely mounting the fume hood unit to ensure stability.

• Ductwork Connection: Connecting the fume hood's exhaust collar to the prepared ventilation ductwork. Seals will be tested for airtightness to prevent any laboratory air leakage.

• Electrical and Plumbing Connections: Connecting the fume hood to the power supply and any required plumbing lines. All connections will be made by qualified personnel.

• Sash Installation and Adjustment: Installing and ensuring the smooth operation of the safety sash.

Calibration And Testing

Post-installation, rigorous calibration and testing are performed to verify performance and safety:

• Airflow Measurement: Measuring the face velocity of the air entering the hood at the sash opening to ensure it meets the specified operational parameters. This is critical for effective containment.

• Blower Performance Test: Verifying that the exhaust blower is operating at the correct speed and providing adequate airflow.

• Leak Testing: Conducting checks to ensure the integrity of all ductwork and cabinet seals.

• Safety Interlock Verification (if applicable): Testing any safety features such as sash alarms or automatic shut-offs.

• Functional Check: A comprehensive review of all operational aspects, including lighting, controls, and internal components, to confirm everything is functioning as intended.

Upon successful completion of all installation and calibration procedures, our technicians will provide you with a handover document, confirming the safe and effective installation of your new fume hood, along with basic operational guidance.

The investment in a fume hood in Ivory Coast can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of hood, its size, materials, advanced features, and the supplier. For basic, standard laboratory fume hoods, you can expect prices to range broadly from approximately 1,000,000 FCFA to 3,500,000 FCFA. More specialized or high-performance models, such as those with advanced ventilation systems, specialized chemical resistance, or built-in safety monitoring, could potentially range from 3,500,000 FCFA upwards to 8,000,000 FCFA or more. Factors like shipping, installation services, and ongoing maintenance agreements will also influence the final cost.
