A Spot Extractor provides localized ventilation by capturing fumes, vapors, and airborne contaminants directly at the source. Commonly used in laboratories handling chemicals and testing procedures, it helps improve air quality, enhance operator safety, reduce exposure risks, and maintain cleaner working conditions during daily laboratory operations.
Our flexible spot extractors are engineered for cleaner laboratory air. The articulated suction arms capture toxic vapors, heat, and airborne chemicals directly at the source before they can spread across the room.
At Vilva Lab Furniture, we understand that effective ventilation is critical for a modern lab. Our spot extractors are built with durable, chemical-resistant materials to ensure they handle the harsh lab environment with ease. Let our team assess your ventilation needs and provide a system that keeps your staff safe and your air pure. Contact us to learn more about our extraction technology.
It is a highly flexible, multi-jointed local exhaust ventilation (LEV) arm designed to capture and extract toxic fumes, smoke, vapors, or fine dust directly at the point of origin before they disperse into the room.
A spot extractor provides localized, mobile extraction for low-hazard processes or small instrument vents, whereas a fume hood offers total physical containment for high-hazard chemical procedures.
It features versatile mounting configurations, allowing it to be securely anchored to the ceiling, a nearby wall, or directly onto the laboratory workbench surface.
Standard laboratory extraction arms are available in diameters of 50mm, 75mm, or 100mm, selected based on the specific volume of air extraction required.
Maintenance involves periodic joint tension adjustments, cleaning internal dust deposits, and inspecting the flexible seals to ensure constant aerodynamic suction.
The articulation tubes are built from chemical-resistant polypropylene or anodized aluminum, fitted with specialized friction joints and chemical-grade rubber seals.
Yes, they accommodate interchangeable hoods, including wide dome hoods for capturing rising vapors, flat hoods for workbenches, and specialized metal hoods for high-temperature soldering.
Yes, every premium spot extractor arm includes a built-in manual damper valve in the base section, allowing users to adjust or completely shut off the suction velocity as needed.
Yes, specialized anti-static and fully grounded ATEX-certified ESD models are manufactured for use in explosive environments or electronic testing rows.
Yes, it must be connected via chemical-grade PVC or PP ductwork to a roof-mounted centrifugal exhaust blower to safely vent captured fumes out of the building.
