Modutek Introduces Water Ring Seal (WRS) Option in Quartz Baths Products

Posted on by

Quartz_Baths_ProductsModutek’s new Water Ring Seal (WRS) option will extend the heater life of your high temperature quartz bath……guaranteed.  With our new WRS option, any high temperature quartz bath comes standard with a 30 month warranty.

Our WRS design gives you a true 360˚ water ring seal under the top flange of the quartz bath.  This labyrinth seal creates a water seal barrier preventing chemical fumes from entering the heater cavity on any of our quartz baths.  Similar to the AquaSeal®, our WRS design gives you a continuous water flow and a second resource for this option.

Besides the 30 month warranty, the WRS design will help with:

  • Reducing inventory control due to extended bath life
  • Eliminating process down times
  • Overall facilities saving
  • Improving yield
  • Eliminating the possibility of shipping your current quartz bathin for repair once a year

Our two main high temperature quartz bath series for your WRS options are the Qa and QFa Series.  All Modutek’s standard quartz baths come with an Inconel heating element bonded to semiconductor grade quartz.   Our QFa series took the original Qa design and added circulation (overflow) features.  This gives you the ability to continuously filter your chemical in a closed loop design.

Both the Qa and QFa Series Constant Temperature Quartz Baths are a result of over thirty years of evolutionary bath design and a passion for establishing the quality standard in quartz baths.  Since 1980 Modutek has sold over a thousand high temperature quartz baths.  At Modutek, we define quality by the degree of safety, reliability, and cost of ownership engineered into every aspect of all our products.

Modutek’s Chemical Fume Hoods: Ordering Made Easy

Posted on by

Modutek-Chemical-Fume-HoodsWhen it comes ordering chemical fume hoods for your lab, Modutek gives you a wide variety of options to meet your requirements. With our wet processing capabilities, we can add the features you require that give you flexibility and overall design advantage. Whether you require a table top exhaust hood or a freestanding hood supported with a HEPA filter filtration system, Modutek can customize our equipment to meet your specifications and requirements.

There are no catalog numbers to limit your choices. All lab and research projects have their own unique equipment requirements. We are your one-stop shop that can provide all your lab equipment needs for all types of wet processing, wet bench and related manufacturing. Below are the features and benefits of Modutek’s chemical fume hoods and how we make ordering easy:

  • Modutek’s chemical fume hoods are made from high-quality materials. This includes stainless steel construction to handle solvent applications and white polypropylene to handle acid and base processes.
  • Each unit is manufactured having electrical outlets at deck level. The units can be manufactured using standard, ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI) or explosion proof electrical outlets. GFI outlets are required in most states since they provide the best protection from electric shock. Explosion proof electrical outlets are used in hazardous and corrosive environments. Choose the outlet that best suits your manufacturing needs.
  • If you need a chemical fume hood built with a utility sink with a gooseneck faucet, we offer that option. This type of faucet is an option many of our customers choose as part of their requirements.
  • Temperature controlled chemical baths are also available with our chemical fume hoods or exhaust stations for your laboratory.
  • Modutek’s chemical fume hoods can also be designed with overhead fan filter units (FFU) if they are part of your requirements.
  • A carboy chemical containment system is included with our chemical fume hoods. This system captures waste solvents produced during wet processing, and other related chemical processing applications.
  • Counter balanced safety shields are also provided with the chemical fume hoods manufactured by Modutek.
  • Overhead LED lighting is also included on-deck.
  • Custom designed chemical fume hoods built per your specifications. What does your specific application require? What size and length chemical fume hoods do you need? We can create any size and length to meet your requirements.

Other options you can get on your Modutek chemical fume hood include dedicated drains to carboy with DOT containment, lift stations designed into the benches, fan filter units (HEPA), Teflon N2 gun and DI water hand spray, and extended warranty.
