Design Improvements to Overhead Hood Ventilation System

Improvements to its bench mounted, overhead hood-style ventilating system have been announced by the Vent-A-Fume Division of Vent-A-Kiln Corporation.

"We changed from a 2-speed to a single-speed motor, which runs cooler and is more efficient," said Brian Brandon, VP of Engineering. "We also designed a new support stand that simplifies installation and makes height adjustments of the overhead hood easier. Our three-year warranty applies to all Vent-A-Fume systems."

The tabletop Vent-A-Fume systems are designed to remove toxic fumes and heat that usually escape from such applications as heat treating furnaces and ovens, workbench area welding and soldering operations.

"Since the Vent-A-Fume's design enables fumes and heat to be captured at their source, any process emissions can be exhausted quickly and efficiently to the outside of the work area or into any existing ductwork venting system," said a company spokesperson. "The low cost of Vent-A-Fume's bench mounted ventilator makes it a more efficient answer to work area ventilation than costly stationary, overhead ventilation hoods. Furthermore, the ease of installation makes relocating the Vent-A-Fume a simple job for in-house personnel."

The bench mounted Vent-A-Fume is available in three hood diameters (27", 32" and 37") and exhaust blowers of 250 or 450 CFM. Standard hoods are fabricated from .063 gauge aluminum. Hoods are also available in stainless steel or polypropylene and in square or rectangular shapes. Each unit is supplied with an adjustable height bench mounting bracket designed to enable easy positioning directly over a small oven, furnace, kiln or encaustic paint palette, and an outside hose kit with all necessary hardware for installation. Optional wall or ceiling mounting brackets are available.
