Asem Ducted Fume Hoods – EN 14175 Certified
Labman Instruments is official distributor for Asem fume hoods for Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Why choose Asem ducted fume hoods?
Asem fume hoods combine EN 14175 certification with robust build quality, stable containment and smart airflow control. Choose front widths 120–240 cm, 2300 mm standard models, destillation models or walk-in fume hoods.
A double-extraction base improves capture of heavy vapours, while the RMP mechanical VAV keeps face velocity constant with a certified 0.5 s response.
Options include Industry 4.0 monitoring/alarms, ACF make-up air to stabilise room pressure, and removable panels for easy sanitation and lower lifetime cost.
Independently verified: safety systems are checked in Bureau Veritas audits, and each hood is certified by an accredited body and tested to EN 14175 with periodic inspections (Quality/Test).
The portfolio covers Class 1 melamine laminate for general use, Class 0 metal for stricter fire-hazard environments (e.g., petrochemistry, pharma), and Class 1 PVC for aggressive chemicals.
Configure self-supporting units with optional under-bench storage or ICP superstructure to place on external benches.

Could ductless be the smarter choice for your lab?
Ductless fume hoods capture chemical vapours with advanced filtration rather than venting conditioned air outdoors—so you get fast, no-ductwork installation, lower HVAC load, and the freedom to place or relocate units as your needs change. For well-defined applications and known chemicals, modern ductless systems provide robust user protection while avoiding outdoor emissions and building constraints. If you’re aiming for energy savings, scalability across rooms or leased spaces, and rapid project timelines, it’s worth exploring our ductless technology.
Chemical storage cabinets — the essential partner to your fume hood
Keep reagents out of the airstream and under control. Our chemical storage cabinets help you segregate incompatibles (acids/alkalis/solvents), contain spills with integrated sumps, and ventilate or filter when required. Choose corrosion-resistant interiors for acids, spark-safe solutions for flammables, and dedicated pesticide cabinets. Formats include under-bench, tall and wall-mount units with adjustable shelves and clear safety labelling. The result: freed-up hood space, lower HVAC burden, cleaner audits and safer workflows. We’ll help you match capacity, ventilation and materials to your inventory and local requirements.
Frequently asked questions about fume hoods
What does EN 14175 certification mean for my lab?
It confirms the hood meets European safety and performance requirements (parts 2–7), including testing for face velocity and containment, giving you verifiable operator protection.
Which fume hood sizes and formats are available?
Standard front widths are 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 cm; most models are 2300 mm high. Walk-in versions (H 2500) are available for bulky equipment and tall setups. For smaller sizes, we also offer more compact ductless models.
How do Asem fume hoods improve capture of heavy vapours?
The design uses a double rear extraction base to raise velocity at the back, helping remove heavier vapours on the worktop; panels are removable for easy sanitation.
What is the RMP mechanical VAV system in Asem fume hoods?
RMP mechanically couples the sash movement to a butterfly valve, keeping face velocity constant without “dead time”—so containment is maintained as the sash moves. It’s immediate, economical, and can be adjusted for 0.3–0.7 m/s.
Is there a proven response time for VAV control in Asem fume hoods?
Yes—Asem documents a 0.5 s containment response time on VAV configurations, supporting fast, stable control when the sash position changes.
How can I reduce energy use in my fume hood while maintaining safety?
Two built-in features help: the Economy sash lock at 30 cm reduces airflow volume without compromising containment, and the ACF device introduces make-up air at the front to improve containment and room balance.
Which materials and worktops can I select for my fume hood?
Structures are available as Class 0 metal, Class 1 laminate, or PVC versions. Worktops include monolithic stoneware, HPL, polypropylene, epoxy, and stainless steel—chosen to match your chemistry and cleaning needs.
