AirBench FN is a heavy duty downdraught bench, for extraction of dust and fumes from hazardous processes. FN is constructed from fully welded 2mm steel panels, powder coated grey as standard. The surface is constructed from 3mm perforated steel plate, also powder coated grey.
AirBench FN - With access door open AirBench FN is designed for continuous, production level duties in industrial environments, and is suitable for surface loads up to 100kg. AirBench FN - Heavy Duty Downdraught Bench
Filters are positively clamped against soft rubber seals; filters can be quickly accessed via the top for cleaning. Replacement is via removal of the front cover. Filter changes can be accomplished in minutes.

All units are supplied with an integral 240v fanset with IP56 motor enclosure; on/off switch (optional speed control); 3m mains lead; and fused plug. A precision filter pressure loss gauge is fitted as standard on all units to allow real-time monitoring of filter condition.

Performance, pricing, and filter selections are generally identical to comparable EX and FP models.

Specifications may vary; contact us to discuss the correct model and filter selection for your application.
