Laboratories
A chemical fume hood protects the user only when the extraction system behind it is working properly. GAKO installs and maintains the entire system, from the hood to the fan on the roof, and carries out periodic testing by a certified fume-hood inspector.

Frequently asked questions
What does a fume-hood test check?
Mainly the airflow at the hood opening and the condition of the extraction system. The test method and frequency depend on the type of hood and the organisation's safety requirements.
The hood is beeping or showing a low-flow alarm. What should we do?
Stop working with hazardous materials in the hood and request an inspection. The cause is usually the fan, a belt or a duct.
