High Performance Features
The TXE is designed to meet the needs of the laboratory scientist to contain
powders produced while using processing or analysis equipment. The TXE’s have
been tested to effectively contain toxic particulate when properly installed and
operated. The rear perforated baffles work to produce horizontal airflow patterns
that significantly reduce particulate concentrations through the work area.
These concentrations of materials are predominantly removed on the “first pass” of
airflow resulting in high performance containment. The plenum and the HEPA
filter are jacketed by negative pressure. Should a leak occur in the filter gasket or
the plenum, the contaminated air is recaptured and refiltered.
The TXE includes a true bag-in/bag-out HEPA filter disposal system to protect the
worker from contact with hazardous powders and particulates. Users of both
products are encouraged to routinely check airflow with an airflow monitor.
