A compact, bench-mounted downflow workstation. Air moves down through the work tray and away from the operators breathing zone, so you can handle powders and harmful substances with open, unrestricted access. Plug in and use.
Breathing-zone protection for open-bench work. Weighing and dispensing powders, sampling and decanting, handling volatile liquids, sample preparation, and reducing reliance on PPE.
The DWS pulls air downward through the perforated work tray, drawing fumes and airborne dust away from the operator's breathing zone. That air passes through the filter, and clean air is recirculated back into the room.
Because the front is open, you keep full unrestricted access to your work, with none of the reach-in awkwardness of a sashed cabinet. It plugs into a standard socket and, being ductless, can be set up and moved wherever the work is.
Every workstation ships ready to work, whichever size you choose.
Wherever an operator handles harmful powders or substances and needs to see and reach the work freely, the DWS gives local protection at the bench.
Weigh, dispense and sub-divide fine powders with the dust drawn down and away from you. Protects the operator, and helps keep the material free from stray contamination.
Take samples and decant between containers at the bench without releasing dust or vapour into the room, for speciality chemicals, pigments and similar materials.
Handle solvents and volatile liquids at the open bench, with the carbon filter capturing the vapours before the air is recirculated.
Prepare, examine and handle samples under an illuminated work surface, with full open access above the tray and protection from below.
By capturing dust and fumes at source, the workstation can reduce reliance on restrictive respiratory PPE for routine handling tasks.
A compact, plug-in unit that brings downflow protection to teaching benches and quality-control stations where space and budget are tight.
Choose the bench width to suit the task. Add a support stand to make it freestanding, and custom builds are available to order.
| Model | Width | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| DWS-600 | 0.60m | Compact stations and single tasks |
| DWS-920 | 0.92m | General bench use, with room for apparatus |
| Custom | Bespoke | Built to your size and requirements |
Both sizes are bench-mounted as standard, with an optional support stand to make the unit freestanding. Ductless recirculating construction with internal lighting, a removable stainless steel tray, low airflow alarm and single phase supply. Full dimensions and datasheet available on request.
The DWS takes a single main filter chosen for what you are working with, in carbon, HEPA, or a carbon and HEPA combination. Tell us the substances and we will specify the right media.
Air is drawn down through the tray, filtered, and clean air is returned to the room. No ducting to install and no loss of conditioned air.
The perforated stainless steel work tray lifts out for easy, thorough cleaning between tasks and materials.
A built-in light illuminates the work surface, so close and detailed tasks are easy to see under the workstation.
Fitted as standard. It alerts the operator if worksurface face velocity falls below 0.3 m/sec, so protection is never left to chance.
Ductless and mobile, the DWS is ready to run straight from a standard socket and easy to move as the work moves.
No sash and no reach-in barrier. The operator works with full open access while dust and fumes are pulled away below.
Send us the size and what you'll be working with and we'll come back with a filter specification and price, typically within four working hours.
