Nuclear Fume Cupboard

Hosokawa Micron’s Nuclear Fume Cupboards are advanced containment systems custom-built for safe and efficient processing of potent, toxic, or volatile materials. Designed to meet the highest industry standards—including ATEX and COSHH—our fume cupboards are available in ducted and ductless configurations, and can be fully tailored to accommodate specific workflows and spatial constraints.

Built from durable stainless steel and high-performance composites, they feature airflow sensors, sash position control, low-energy lighting, and optional safe-change filtration. Whether used for pharmaceutical formulation or radioactive material handling, these units deliver reliable performance, cleanability, and ease of validation.

How it Works

A fume cupboard is a specialist containment unit designed to protect operators and the surrounding environment during potentially hazardous processing tasks involving powders, vapors, solvents, or toxic substances. It works by drawing air from the room through a partially open sash window, creating a controlled airflow that prevents harmful materials from escaping the work area. This air is then filtered—typically using HEPA or carbon filters—and either recirculated or safely exhausted.

Fume cupboards are essential across critical industries including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, defense, nuclear, and advanced materials. Hosokawa’s tailored solutions combine high-integrity airflow control with operator safety, compliance, and ease of operation—making them ideal for environments demanding stringent containment.
