Refurbish Service
FUME CUPBOARDS & FANS
There are many Fume Cupboards in service in Australia which predate the current Australian Standard AS 2243.8 - 2001. These have provided sterling service over years and many companies cannot justify replacing them just to upgrade to the current Standard. However it should be noted that the 2001 Standard was prepared to supersede the older Standards to provide greater protection and a safer working environment in laboratories.
In many instances it is possible to upgrade and refurbish these older units to provide the level of protection that is required for laboratory employees by Workcover, health authorities and the in-house laboratory safety officer.
DYNAMIC FUME EXHAUST SYSTEMS can provide a full refurbishment service. Initially, it would consist of an audit and review of what can be provided to upgrade your fume cupboards. This is a free service and it applies to any make of fume cupboard. Although there are hundreds of DYNAMIC fume cupboards in the field, we are not restricted to just our own brand; our expertise allows us to bring most other models up to standard. The major exception is the old built-in timber style of cupboard of which there are still a great number in service.
