The HPD has been
designed to address the
deficiencies of conventional
flexible extraction arms, in
line with current HSE
guidance, to ensure the
correct design and positioning
of LEV hoods. HPD's in
stainless steel finishes
incorporate new mounting
brackets, hoods and hoses for
the capture and extraction of
industrial dusts and fumes
including hazardous and
corrosive fumes at the point
of source.
There are no mechanics
inside the flexible arms for
optimised flow properties and
eliminating the risk of dust
being collected in any crevices
and also allowing the wash
through of the equipment of
paramount importance in
food production. ATEX
compliant painted products
are coated with an anti-static
paint so that they can be used
in hazardous areas, which are
based on the frequency and
duration of where there can
be an occurrence of an
explosive atmosphere in
which a mixture of air with
dangerous substances in the
form of gas, vapour, mist or
combustible dust may occur
in normal operations.
