  • Filter type

    Activated carbon

The Downflow Bench DFB is a cutting table with activated carbon filter, ideal for pathology laboratories and mobile applications

We offer standardized or custom-tailored cutting tables for maximum reliability. Work surfaces are made of stainless steel 316, and the base is constructed from powder-coated steel. High-efficiency activated carbon filters enable simple, cost-effective installation without an external exhaust system. All systems feature an airflow velocity alarm.

DFB at a glance

Characteristics

  • Airflow management

    Activated carbon–filtered exhaust reliably removes particles and odors directly at the work surface

  • Efficient table extraction

    Targeted extraction ensures consistently clean conditions and enhances workplace safety

  • No exhaust ducts required

    No external exhaust installation is needed, significantly reducing effort and costs

  • Flexible use

    The system can be deployed independently of location and adapts to changing requirements

  • Customizable configuration

    Available as standardized tables or made-to-measure solutions for specific processes

  • Robust stainless steel surfaces

    Work surfaces made of stainless steel 316 are highly corrosion- and chemical-resistant

  • Reliable process monitoring

    Visual and acoustic alarms provide dependable control during operation

  • Integrated water connections

    Cold and hot water taps, showers, and sinks enable efficient cleaning and hygiene

Requirements

Requirements that make your daily work safer and easier

  • Protection from vapors

    In pathology and histology laboratories, working with solvents generates hazardous vapors. Effective local exhaust at the workstation is essential to minimize inhalation risks and comply with occupational safety regulations.

  • High-performance activated carbon filtration

    The filters used must reliably capture and neutralize solvent vapors. Activated carbon provides a large adsorption capacity, which is indispensable for daily laboratory work. A clearly defined filter replacement schedule is required to ensure consistently high effectiveness.

  • Ergonomic and open working

    Laboratory work requires precision and unrestricted movement. Therefore, the table design must offer both an open work surface and an adjustable working height.

Functional principle

Direct fume extraction ensures operator safety

The cutting tables are designed in such a way that the vapours are extracted directly through the perforated working surface, away from the user, and downwards into the active carbon filters, ensuring excellent protection of the user in a safe and clean environment. No acrylic or glass panels are required.
