Extraction Hoods

Design, construction, installation and maintenance of industrial aspiration hoods of all sizes and capacities.

What are aspiration hoods?

Aspiration hoods are a system for capturing and aspirating air in both industrial and laboratory environments.

These are metal structures installed near the point where pollutants such as fumes, dust, and vapors are generated – usually above, because airborne contaminants tend to rise, but also behind or beside, depending on the specific configuration of the workstation – and which connect further downstream to the filtration system that will remove contaminants from the air and allow their re-emission into the atmosphere.

Why are extraction hoods used?

Industrial extraction hoods are the standard solution for aspirating contaminated air in workshops and laboratories.

Their construction features essentially present two advantages:

Adaptability:

It is possible to custom-build hoods of any size or shape, in order to simply and effectively capture any type and quantity of pollutant.
Versatility:

Depending on the particular type of polluting smoke, vapor, or dust present in the air, it is possible to choose from different hood models, fixed, mobile, or slotted.

Application areas of extraction hoods

Extraction hoods are essential equipment in companies and laboratories of the most diverse types, all united by the production or use of toxic or hazardous substances.

Bruno Balducci srl aspirating hoods

As direct manufacturers of our aspirating hoods, we are able to carry out any type of product customization already at the design stage, modifying the shape and capacity of the hood to adapt to the specific installation situation.

A very common alteration is, for example, the installation of transparent PVC strips fixed to the entire edge of the hood in order to increase its containment. The materials used range from galvanized sheet metal to carbon steel, or to special steels such as AISI304 and AISI316.

For laboratory applications where particular attention to aesthetics is required, we are also able to offer, as distributors, the aspiration hoods of ALSIDENT® SYSTEM.
