V-Flo Polypropylene Laminar Flow Cabinets
Polimatrix is proud to introduce a unique all plastic series of laminar flow units.
There are 3 primary types of Laminar Flow Units manufactured by Polimatrix. The entire range features an all Polypropylene construction:
V-Flo Series: A unique series of Vertical Laminar Flow Cabinets.
H-Flo Series: A unique series of Horizontal Laminar Flow Cabinets – In non-recycling and recycling configurations.
Combi-Flo Series: A unique series of full extraction Vertical Laminar Flow Fume Cabinets .
The specially formulated White Polypropylene which is used has been specially developed for laboratory applications.
This material has the following features:
- Excellent corrosion resistance across a broad range of media.
- Highly stable with no effect on purity of laboratory test samples/specimens.
- Resists fading. The sight blue tint ensures the material “fades” to crisp white and not a disappointing off-white.
- Excellent performance under artificial light for personnel comfort.
Perfect for high purity clean lab applications.
Main areas of Application:
- Laboratories where a high degree of purity is required.
- Clean laboratories where potential exists for corrosion.
- Research laboratories where the presence of metals is undesirable.
V-Flo Vertical Laminar Flow cabinets are available in various mounting configurations from 1200mm wide to 1800mm wide and special custom designed units can be made according to the client’s requirements:
- Full Polypropylene construction.
- Fully welded seams and joints.
- Available with various base options.
- Raised front lip to prevent spillages.
- Seal welded Polypropylene work surface.
- Detachable front air foil for easy cleaning.
- Services panel on right hand side.
- Air is drawn from the room into the fan plenum through a pre-filter and is then discharged into the filter plenum. The air in the positively pressured filter plenum passes through an H-14 HEPA filter and clean filtered laminar flow air is directed toward the work surface.
- A Mini-Helic gauge indicates the pressure drop across this filter arrangement.
- The HEPA filter is accessible from the inside of the V-Flo unit.
- The pre-filter is accessible from the top of the V-Flo unit.
- The V-Flo fume cabinets are supplied complete with a hinged heavy duty polycarbonate (Lexan) sash. The sash covers 355mm of the opening leaving the remaining 355mm open for the operator.
- The light is mounted in the services panel void and is situated on the top right hand side of the work area. The light is fully sealed from the working environment and is a 220V LED or Fluorescent tube.
- A unique 230V/110V centrifugal fan with built in variable speed adjustment is connected to a TEL Air flow controller. The TEL controller adjusts fan speed automatically to remain within the desired optimum operating range.
- Electrical panel with earth leakage and breakers for power sockets, light and other electrical services as required.

H-Flo Horizontal Laminar Flow cabinets are available in various mounting configurations from 1200mm wide to 1800mm wide and special custom designed units up to 4000mm wide can be made on request.
H-Flo-R: Rear mounted filter providing non-recycling laminar flow from the back toward the front:
- This configuration has no front sash.
- The service panel is situated on either the left or right hand side depending on the client’s preference.
- Suitable for a clean environment not requiring containment.
H-Flo-C: Side mounted filter providing a cross-flow re-cycling configuration in a contained environment:
- Fitted with horizontal clear sliding sash panels which are 10mm thick for rigidity.
- There is a service panel on both left hand and right hand sides.
- An additional filter is installed on the recycling side.
- Small amounts of air are bled off through a filter system and replaced with fresh clean air which is drawn in through the pre-filter.
- These units are for specific applications requiring clean laminar flow air in a contained environment.
- For certain applications glove ports and bio filters are also fitted.
- Full Polypropylene construction.
- Fully welded seams and joints.
- Available with various base options (see below).
- LED or Fluorescent light in flush fully sealed enclosure.
- Standard with seal welded Polypropylene work surface.
- Air is drawn from the room into the fan plenum through a pre-filter and is then discharged into the filter plenum. The air in the positively pressured filter plenum passes through an H-14 HEPA filter and clean filtered laminar flow air is directed across the work surface.
- A Mini-Helic gauge indicates the pressure drop across this filter arrangement.
- The HEPA filter is accessible from the inside of the H-Flo unit.
- The pre-filter is accessible from the top of the H-Flo unit.
- Standard with seal welded Polypropylene work surface.
- A unique 230V/110V centrifugal fan with built in variable speed adjustment is connected to a TEL Air flow controller. The TEL controller adjusts fan speed automatically to remain within the desired optimum operating range.
- Raised front lip to prevent spillages.
- Electrical panel with earth leakage and breakers for power sockets, light and other electrical services as required
