Mechelec’s Chatka Hood provides a reliable solution for localized fume extraction in laboratories and industrial settings. Designed for tasks that involve chemical handling, testing, and heating, this compact unit is both durable and highly effective. When space is limited and a full-sized fume hood isn’t practical, the Chatka Hood becomes an essential piece of safety equipment.
Crafted from high-grade polypropylene (PP) or other chemical-resistant materials, it easily withstands corrosive fumes, heat, and harsh acids. Its compact structure fits neatly on benchtops or directly over equipment, allowing you to manage chemical interactions in a safe, controlled space. Thanks to its thoughtful design, you can carry out procedures like acid digestion, chemical weighing, or spot heating with confidence.
In addition, the hood features a transparent viewing panel, typically made from acrylic or polycarbonate. This offers excellent visibility while shielding the user from harmful vapors or splashes. The clear enclosure promotes safety without interfering with your workflow. Moreover, the unit comes with an optional exhaust outlet—positioned at the top or rear—so it easily connects with your existing fume extraction or scrubber system.
Although lightweight and easy to move, the Chatka Hood is engineered for stability. It stays securely in place during active lab operations. Because of its modular design, repositioning or adjusting it for different setups takes only moments.
What truly sets this hood apart is its cost-effectiveness and space efficiency. It provides many of the protective benefits of a full-sized fume hood but occupies far less space. For mobile laboratories, academic institutions, or industrial testing stations, it’s the ideal safety upgrade.
Engineered and built by Mechelec, the Chatka Hood combines quality materials with precise craftsmanship. It helps create a cleaner, safer, and more compliant work environment—without compromise.
