Fumair’s ClearFlo range of school fume cupboards are purpose-built for secondary schools, colleges, and teaching laboratories. Compliant with CLEAPSS G9, they are engineered for safety, ease of use, and durability in busy educational environments. Every Clearflo unit is tailored to the needs of teachers and students. Available in ducted or filtered models, they’re ideal for prep rooms, science labs, and multi-use classrooms. With clear sightlines and tamper-resistant safety features, they support safe demonstration and active learning. CLEAPSS G9 Compliant Clearflo™ school fume cupboards are built in line with CLEAPSS G9 guidance, ensuring: - Consistent, safe face velocities - High visibility for demonstration - Low noise levels for teaching environments - Lockable panels and protected controls Standard Features All Clearflo™ units include: - 6mm vertically sliding toughened glass sash with auto-height limiter - Full-width sash handle and fail-safe counterbalance system - LED lighting and airflow warning indicator - High pressure laminate worktop with spillage containment and polypropylene circular drip-cup - Robust powder-coated framework - Toughened glass sides and rear panel - Broen Cold water and gas service valves and outlets - RCD protected twin switched socket outlet - Adjustable levelling feet or lockable castors - Removable clear polycarbonate rear baffle - Integrated speed-controllable extract fan and high efficiency Carbon Filtration (filtered models) - Integrated duct transformation piece (ducted models) The Clearflo™ range is available in both fixed and mobile configurations to suit different teaching environments and curriculum needs. Fixed Units Fixed Clearflo™ fume cupboards are permanently installed in designated prep rooms or science laboratories. Services suchas gas, water, and extract ducting are hard-connected for continuous, reliable performance. Fixed fume cupboards are ideal for: - Dedicated science labs - Demonstration benches - Rooms with built-in extract systems Fixed units offer maximum stability, seamless service integration, and minimal maintenance. They are typically specified for long-term school refurbishments or new science block installations. Mobile Units Mobile Clearflo™ models are designed for flexibility. Fitted with lockable castors, they can be moved between classrooms or stored away when not in use. They are available in both ducted (with flexible extract ducting and connection kits) and filtered (carbon filtration) versions. Mobile fume cupboards are ideal for: - Schools without dedicated science rooms - Multi-use or rotating classrooms - Shared equipment pools - Temporary setups during refurbishments Despite their portability, mobile Clearflo™ units retain all safety features of the fixed range — including airflow monitoring, and service functionality (gas and water, where required). Installation & Delivery All our school fume cupboards are delivered as sub-assemblies for easy access through standard doorways and can be carried upstairs if required. Our experienced in-house team carries out installation with minimal disruption to your timetable. 5-Year Parts and Labour Warranty Every Clearflo™ school fume cupboard is backed by a comprehensive 5-year parts and labour warranty, giving schools and colleges long-term peace of mind. Built to withstand daily use in busy teaching environments, Clearflo™ is a safe and dependable choice. (Terms and conditions apply.)

Variable Air Volume (VAV) Control Systems VAV (Variable Air Volume) control systems work by dynamically adjusting the airflow through each fume cupboard in response to its sash height. When the sash is raised, the VAV controller opens a fast-acting motorised damper in the duct above to increase extract airflow, maintaining the correct face velocity across the opening. As the sash is lowered, the damper closes to reduce the airflow accordingly. This ensures operator safety while significantly cutting down on the volume of conditioned air that must be supplied to the room to replace extracted air. Benefits of VAV Control Significant energy savings VAV systems reduce extract airflow when sashes are lowered, minimising the amount of heated, cooled, or conditioned air that must be replaced – dramatically lowering HVAC energy usage. Smaller extract and supply systems By designing to an agreed diversity level, a limit on how many fume cupboards can be in use with their sashes fully open at any one time, we can size the ventilation plant for realistic peak use rather than worst-case extremes. The result: lower installation costs and a smaller, more efficient extract and supply air system. Enhanced user safety VAV systems constantly adjust airflow to keep fume cupboard face velocity within safe limits, no matter the sash position or how many cupboards are in use. This ensures full compliance with BS EN 14175 and gives users consistent, reliable protection. Lower carbon footprint Reduced energy demand translates to fewer emissions, supporting sustainability goals and easing BREEAM or LEED compliance. Flexible and future-proof VAV systems are ideal for laboratories with multiple fume cupboards or changing usage patterns, adaptively responding to real-time demand without the need for major system upgrades. VAV Integration & Control Our Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems are fully compatible with modern Building Management Systems (BMS), supply air systems and room controllers. By integrating seamlessly with your building’s infrastructure, our systems help maintain the required number of air changes per hour (ACH) and ensure correct room pressurisation relative to adjacent areas, essential for safety, containment, and energy efficiency.

Wet scrubbers are designed to remove harmful gases, vapours or particulates from an airstream by passing the contaminated air through a liquid medium, typically water or a chemical solution. The liquid reacts with or dissolves airborne substances, effectively reducing the amount of pollutants released into the environment. Scrubbers are particularly important for processes involving corrosive or reactive gases such as hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, ammonia, or sulphur dioxide. They are often used in ducted systems where hazardous gases must be treated before being discharged to atmosphere. The scrubbing fluid can be formulated with neutralising agents such as sodium hydroxide for acid gases, or acidic solutions for alkaline vapours. These systems are common in chemical processing, etching, plating, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other environments where environmental compliance and personnel safety are essential. Common applications include: - Acid etching and chemical plating - Industrial chemical processing - Compliance with environmental permits or emissions controls
