Esco Glassware Hoods (EGH)
The Esco Glassware Hood is the premium solution for containing specialized equipment in a kilo lab, pilot plant or R&D environment. This may also act as an industrial fume hood in facilities requiring corrosion resistance against large volumes of solvents and chemicals.
Coined after “glassware reactors” and “fume hoods”, glassware hoods are customizable units made to serve their containment purpose for glassware set-ups for batch reactions, distillation set-ups, and chemical synthesis, providing operator protection against fumes and spillages/breakages and safety protection of fume/vapor explosive properties.

Esco Glassware Hood (EGH), as standard, is a passive cabinet that relies on the facility’s HVAC system to suction vast amounts of air through the equipment.
The EGH reduces the operator’s exposure to hazardous fumes, vapors, and gases by diluting the hazardous vapors using a large amount of air, then drawing it out through the duct of the facility’s exhaust system.
The inflow of air is utilized to avoid untoward exposure to the operator outside of the hood while the hazardous process is taking place.
Note: The EGH required airflow volume depends on its intended use and operation. It is critical that the hood be used as it was intended (door open/door closed) in line with the client-specific equipment load and process.

What is edge of EGH from other chemical hoods available in the market?
EGH provides a leading solution by providing a controlled environment for containment of small to large scale designed dedicated equipment for handling of high-risk, flammable, toxic chemicals as it reduces the environment and operator’s exposure to hazardous fumes, vapors, and gases. -
What is the capability of EGH?
EGH is capable of containing kilo labs equipment set-ups from small laboratory scale to large scale production. EGH can accommodate oversized apparatus and are available in widths up to 16 feet such as bioreactors.
